Brad Fuller better get ready to fire up the propaganda and denial machine again, because Ain’t He Fat News published a less than favorable review of A Nightmare on Elm Street from a test screening today.
The reviewer “Skin Peeler” makes it clear at the beginning of his review that he is not “a struggling film critic” or a “film student,” and is just a fan who was lucky (or unlucky?) enough to see a first showing of Platinum Dunes’s remake. You can read the entire A Nightmare on Elm Street review here.
Here are some of Peeler’s likes and dislikes about the film:
Liked
- Some nice dark visuals, locations & makeup
- any scene with Clancy fuckin Brown & Jackie Earle Haley.
- the talking bloody corpse in the bodybag at end of hallway. that was cool. more like that, plz
- flashbacks, just remove the naked gimp in the Speedos.
Disliked
- cheesy, unrealistic 29 year old teen characters
- cheesy, unrealistic dialog of above characters with some unintentional laughable moments
- no original Johnny Depp blood fountain or phone tongue? you kidding me?
- too much reliance on scare moments
- not enough psychological horror, the dude’s now a freakin child molester for jeebus sake.
- needs some more tightening work in the editing room
- film sadly doesn’t yet live up to the exciting trailer
- no bathroom boo-tay? we likie the bootie.
- the webcam scene with the token Asian guy? …
