The Halloween Movie Guide

First it was Friday The 13th. Then came Nightmare On Elm Street. Now I present to you the Halloween movie guide.


Halloween (1978): In 1963, a young boy named Michael Myers brutally murders his older sister. 15 years later he escapes back to his hometown with his psychiatrist in hot pursuit.

The Good: This is the granddaddy of the slasher film genre. It laid out the rules that other horror movies would follow for decades later. Without Halloween, there would have been no Jason, Freddy, or Chucky haunting the cinemas. The film boasts some top-notch acting, some genuine scares and a memorable soundtrack.

The Bad: Absolutely nothing.

Notable Stars: Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, P.J. Soles & Kyle Richards.

Halloween 2 (1983): The unkillable Michael Myers continues his reign of terror in the unsuspecting town of Haddonfield. But some unexpected family ties may cause danger for one of his victims.

The Good: Still helmed by director John Carpenter, the movie does have some suspenseful and memorable moments. Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence are wonderful and really improve a slightly mediocre sequel. There is also a television version of this film with cut scenes that better explain the film, a must watch if you can find it.

The Bad: Halloween 2 takes place the very same evening that Halloween ended on. With three years having past between films, the actors have grown older. It's hard to suspend disbelief with this film. The kills are gorier but less scary.

Notable Stars: Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, Dana Carvey, and Billy Warlock.

Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch (1982): A mask maker schemes to kill all the children on Halloween night.

The Good: This movie is not a bad movie nor is it the greatest. This film is best known as the Halloween without Michael Myers. Halloween was never intended to be a slasher franchise, it was supposed to be an anthology featuring a new big bad in every film. But the studios wanted another Michael Myers movie and the die was cast. The movie unfairly suffered due to the backlash.

The Bad: The mask company's theme song. An insipidly evil ditty that becomes trapped in your head never to escape.


Notable Stars: No one. It is rumored that Jamie Lee Curtis did a voice only cameo in the film.




Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988) After 10 years of being locked up, Michael escapes and heads back to Haddonfield.

The Good: This is what a Halloween movie should be, suspenseful, scary, action packed. Donald Pleasence reprises his role as Dr. Loomis. Jamie Lee Curtis is gone but replaced by two of the greatest scream queens Ellie Cornell and Danielle Harris. It also has one of the most powerful endings in horror movie history

The Bad: I understand that every slasher film needs a bimbo character to show her goods. But the one they cast in Halloween 4 is especially annoying. Any scene with her is a scene too many. The whole teen love triangle subplot was too soap opera like and was not right for the field.

Notable Stars: Donald Pleasence, Ellie Cornell, Danielle Harris, and Sasha Jensen


Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) Michael Myers is still killing, but will the audience care?

The Good: Donald Pleasence and Danielle Harris reprise their roles. This upgrades the film from intolerable to mildly tolerable.

The Bad: Let's see a rushed and confusing storyline with many plot holes hanging. Ellie Cornell is killed off seconds after she appears. The cast is one of the most annoying, unappealing, and virtually talentless group of people I have ever seen. Halloween 4 was gold and to follow that film with this is a slap in the face to all horror fans.

Notable Stars: Donald Pleasence, Danielle Harris, and Ellie Cornell.

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) After seeing Halloween 5, I said "Well the series can't get any worse." I was wrong.

The Good: Donald Pleasence returns, giving it the old college try.

The Bad: Another poorly thought out script. Thorn Cults! Danielle Harris doesn't return but her character Jamie does. Thorn Cults! Unlikable characters. Did I mention the damn Thorn Cult? Thorn Cult, Thorn Cult, Thorn Cult! Gahhhhhhh!

Notable Stars: Donald Pleasence, and Paul Rudd
Halloween H20 (1998) Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her rightful place in the series. The audience breathes a sigh of relief.

The Good: Again, this is what a Halloween should always be. Suspenseful, scary, with a talented cast and coherent script. There are great cameos and even a nod to the late Donald Pleasence who passed away after Halloween 6.

The Bad: The movie retcons every that happened since Halloween 2. While it erases the horrid world of haunted masks and thorn cults, it also eliminates the existence of Danielle Harris' character, Jamie. I wish they could have kept the character but oh well. It was a small price to pay in order to have a decent Halloween movie.

Notable Stars: Jamie Lee Curtis, Josh Hartnett, Michelle Williams, LL Cool J, Jodi Lynn O'Keefe, Janet Leigh, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt




Halloween Resurrection (2002) The last nail in the coffin for the original series. It ended with a whimper, not a bang.

The Good: Jamie Lee Curtis is kind enough to reprise her role in order to give her character a final send off. It's not the worst Halloween movie in the world. It lacks the suspense of the better films but is still a good watch. Busta Rhymes is hysterical and proves that a singer can be an actor and not fail.

The Bad: If movie producers want to make a million movies about killer Internet/phone/videos, they have my blessing. Just keep the tech-horror out of the slasher genre. The whole Internet reality show plot came off as a desperate attempt to appear cutting edge and trendy.

Notable Stars: Jamie Lee Curtis, Busta Rhymes, Sean Patrick Harris, Katee Sackhoff, Thomas Ian Nichols, and Tyra Banks.

The Rob Zombie Halloween Series has already been reviewed. In my opinion those are a reboot and like the Friday The 13th and Nightmare On Elm Street guides, reboots really have no place in the original series.

Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy

If you are a Nightmare On Elm Street fan, you simply must watch this documentary. Narrated by Heather Langenkemp this film explored the legacy of the Elm Street series and it's impact in horror cinema.
Something rare happened when I watched this, I simply watched it. Usually I am too restless to simply sit in front of a movie. I may work out, I may thumb through a magazine, or putter around the house cleaning. Not with this, I sat on the couch pleased as punch for four hours.
Yes, the film is four hours long but worth it. It covers every film from Nightmare 1 to the much lamented Freddy VS Jason. You learn everything, from the film inception, special effects, earlier script drafts, the casting of the actors, everything you wanted to know about Freddy but were afraid to ask.

Former actors return to share their memories of their times on the film. It seems everyone, cast and crew turn out to celebrate the series. Conspicuously absent however are some of the bigger name actors that starred in the series. Johnny Depp, Patricia Arquette, Jason Ritter, Breckin Myer, and Kelly Rowland make no appearance. I hope that time constraints kept them away, it would be a shame to see them dissing the franchise that started their career.

Since Nightmare On Elm Street 4 was my personal favorite, I looked forward to that installment. It was wonderful see my favorite film delved into with such detail. Seeing the actors 20 years later was fun as well.

I always considered Lisa Wilcox to be a beauty, she still is. 1988
Now


But, what the hell happened to Tuesday Knight?

Circa '80s



Now

Attention Hollywood actresses: Growing old is not the end of the world. We all age. Don't ruin a beautiful face just to appear sexy. Wrinkles are attractive, plastic is not.

Okay, rant over. Like I said, all Nightmare fans must check this out. It's a real cinematic treat.

Nightmare On Elm Street 2010

I tried my darnedest to watch this movie with an open mind. I made a silent deal with this film, be entertaining and I'll forgive your lack of Robert Englund goodness. Needless to say, the movie did not keep it's end of the bargain.

Let's start with Jackie Earle Haley's portrayal of Freddy Krueger. It was boring and totally lacking of any malice. As the human Freddy in flashback he did very well, he is a good actor just not suitable for this role.

Another problem I had was with the makeup. I understand that the film wanted to go less cartoony and more realistic but come on. Something that looks like a blend of the Borg Queen and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew is not scary.

Kyle Gallner, Ella Cassidy, and Kellan Lutz are pretty talented actors. Shamefully, they are stuck with dull as dish water roles. You don't root for these characters, you simply don't care. Also, the kids are way too quick to believe in Freddy. Ella's character Kris is forced to watch her boyfriend kill himself after telling her about Freddy. Despite the fact that the character is known to be on medication does not hinder her instant belief in Freddy.

The original Nightmare On Elm Street was dark, scary, and campy. It had some talented actors and some memorable characters. It was more than a film series, it was a legacy. If people want to re imagine great horror film then do it for the love of the genre. Don't do it for the paycheck.

And a note to the girls sitting a couple rows ahead of me. Yes, Kellan Lutz was in Twilight, we all know that. There was no reason to squeal about it and chatter about Twilight for a few agonizing minutes until someone shushed them. If you wanna talk about Twilight go see a Twilight movie and don't torture the rest of the audience.

The Nightmare On Elm Street Movie Guide.

I've seen the greatest horror movies of my generation destroyed by remakes. (My apologies to Allen Ginsberg). I am an '80s movie fan forced to watch my favorite villains blandly remade in order to entice a new generation. They did it to Michael, they did it to Jason, and now poor Freddy is next up on the block.

There are young horror viewers out there who may be intrigued by the remake and want to rent some of the earlier installments. I present to you the Nightmare On Elm Street Guide.



Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) Teenager Nancy finds herself the target of a supernatural menace who can kill people in their dreams.

The Good: The film belongs to Heather Langenkemp who plays Nancy. Unlike a lot of final girls in horror films, she is smart, creative, and can definitely hold her own. This film is dark and does not contain too many of the one liners that would eventually turn Freddy into a less scary version of Carrot Top. Freddy will never be scarier than he is in this film. You simply cannot watch the remake without seeing this one as the remake borrows heavily from the first film.

The Bad: There are some scenes such as Nancy encountering the corpse of her best friend, that are simply there for gross out value. These scenes stop the film cold and it takes a while to get back into it.

Notable Stars: This is film marks the movie debut of Johnny Depp who plays Nancy's boyfriend Glen. John Saxon lends his awesome presence to the film as Nancy's father.



A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985): Five years after the events of the first movie, teenager Jesse moves into the neighborhood. Freddy's back and he has big plans for Jesse.

The Good: The poster looks pretty cool, meh, I have nothing.

The Bad: The majority of this film is bad. It has the lowest death count of the series. Two major character deaths and a quick massacre of some unnamed extras. There is a scene with an exploding parakeet and this awkward dance scene.




What really hinders the film is the homoerotic subtext that runs throughout the film. Jesse has more chemistry with his best friend Grady than his supposed love interest. He wanders into an S&M bar where he encounters his sadistic coach who takes him back to the gym. I always suspected that the character of Jesse was intended to be gay but the studio wouldn't allow it.

Notable Stars: Soap Star Christie Clark plays Jesse's younger sister. Jo Ann Willette from Just The Ten Of Us shows up briefly. Jo Ann would co-star with other Nightmare alumni such as Heather Langenkemp and Brooke Theiss.


A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987): The last remaining Elm street children have been placed in a mental hospital due to dream psychosis. Nancy returns to the series intent on beating Freddy once and for all.

The Good: Heather Langenkemp returns to the series as Nancy. This film should have been the direct sequel to the first as opposed to the piece of crap they did air. The film has some creative death scenes and some great one liners. At this point Freddy is scary/funny but not as cartoonish as he eventually becomes.

The Bad: I know that nudity is traditional in these films, but not a requirement. There is one topless scene that doesn't fit in with the pace of the films and stops the movie cold.

Notable Stars: A then unknown Lawrence Fishburne stars as an orderly. Along with Langenkemp, John Saxon reprises his role from the original film. Patricia Arquette stars as Kristen, the main heroine of the film. There is a hysterical cameo by Dick Cavett and Zsa Zsa Gabor




A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988): Kristen is out of the mental hospital and is trying to get over Freddy. But how do you get over something when it hasn't yet ended?

The Good: I am going to say it, Nightmare On Elm Street 4 is my favorite of the franchise. I'll give all you horror enthusiasts time to gather together the torch bearing mob. The film has some entertaining and fun characters. The death scenes are creative and there is a kick ass soundtrack featuring Blondie, Divinyls, Dramarama, and Sinead O'Connor. This films also introduces Alice who is my second favorite final girl of the series.

The Bad: There are a couple of unnecessarily cheesy scenes such as a dog pissing Freddy to life and a naked girl trapped in a water bed. If you have a bug phobia do not watch this movie. Just don't.

Notable Stars: Tuesday Knight takes over for Patricia Arquette as Kristen. Brooke Theiss stars as bug phobic bad girl. General Hospital star Cheryl Richardson appears in a blink and you will miss it role.


A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989): Freddy is back to his old tricks. He has a new way of killing the Elm Street children, by using the dreams of Alice's unborn child.

The Good: Well Lisa Wilcox reprises her role as Alice, I always loved her

The Bad: I wanted to like this film, I really did. It's a direct sequel to my favorite movie and I love the heroine. I wanted to like this movie but couldn't. It's boring with unlikable characters, the deaths are less creative and more revolting. Freddy has officially become a cartoon cracking more one liners than actually killing.

Notable Stars: Lisa Wilcox reprises her role as Alice. Kelly Minter (who was awesome whatever happened to her?) also stars.



Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991): Ten years have passed and all the Elm Street children are dead. Except for one boy who Freddy plans on using to escape Elm Street and enter the real world.

The Good: I got to see this in the theater and the 3D section was all kinds of awesome.

The Bad: The 3D section only lasted 20 minutes and the rest of the film is sub par. It suffers from an uneven script, way too cartoonish death scenes and way to many celebrity cameos. The montage of all his movies during the credits were more interesting. By the way the tag line: They Saved The Best For Last is a lie. And lies make baby Jesus cry.

Notable Stars: Lisa Zane, Yaphet Cotto, and Breckin Meyer star. Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, and Roseanne and Tom Arnold show up for cameos.


Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994): Welcome to the real world, where Freddy is just a movie and Heather Langenkemp is just an actress. But when the line between fiction and reality blur, Heather fights to save her son.

The Good: This was a great movie, a wonderful homage to the original. It's great to see some of the behind the scenes members of the Nightmare franchise get their moment in the sun. There are so many cameos by former Nightmare alumni that it's almost like Where's Waldo? Heather Langenkemp is phenomenal.

The Bad: Not enough Freddy but I guess that was the point of the movie.

Notable Stars: John Saxon plays himself and briefly reprises his fictional role. Wes Craven and Robert Englind play themselves in the movie. Miko Hughes stars as her son. Tracy Middendorf plays the role of a babysitter who reenacts one of Freddy's iconic death scenes.





Freddy vs. Jason (2003): Everything that could be said about this monstrosity can be found in my Friday The 13th Movie Guide.

10 Things I Loved About The '80s

10. Freddy Krueger: Yes I was that kid. The kid whose father let his 7 year old daughter watch A Nightmare On Elm Street on VHS. Sure I slept with the lights on that night but I became a girl obsessed. I subscribed to Fangoria magazine, I watched the television series, had his posters on my wall, and was at the theater every time a new film came out. If it involved Freddy, I had to be involved.




9 Electric Youth Perfume: I love this perfume, it was the very first perfume I had ever owned. I thought the lightning bolt in the center was just the coolest thing ever. As soon as one ran out or was accidentally lost, I would beg my father to take me to the store so I could replace it.




8. Fred Savage: You are looking at my first celebrity crush here. My room at one time was equally dominated by posters of my two favorite Freds, Kruger and Savage. My crush was so severe that I even sat through films like Little Monsters and The Wizard just to see him. I never missed an episode of The Wonder Years. I even developed a crush on a kid in my class simply because he looked just like him.




7. Tiffany: Tiffany was the first singer that I had ever gotten into by myself. All the other music I listened to were courtesy of my parents. I would play her first album at least three or four times a day. My father who was a heavy metal/classic rock fan made the ultimate sacrifice and took me to see her at Six Flags in '87. I had never been to a concert before and had no concept of the term opening act. I pouted during the entire opening set waiting for my idol to appear. The opening band was New Kids On The Block.



6. MTV: Remember when MTV would just play hours upon hours of music videos. You had the privilege of seeing your favorite artists anytime you wanted to. Even the television shows like Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps were music video oriented. That's before MTV became a pseudo-reality network dedicated to spoiled rotten teens.


5. Sweet Valley High: Between the ages of 9 and 13, I worshiped these books. I even went so far as to buy the board game (which was boring.) On our weekly visits to the local used bookstore, I would pore through the shelves praying to find ones I didn't already have. True excitement was going to the grocery store and seeing a new one on the racks. My dad was always annoyed that I would finish the book the very same day that he got it for me. Strangely enough the book never made me want to blond haired and blue-eyed, but it did make me wanna have dimples in the worst way.


4. Plastic Charm Necklaces: Believe these bright and clunky things were the must have accessories in my elementary school. Our teacher went so far as to use them as prizes during spelling and math bees. Even though I already had bunch of them, I was still jealous of any girl who had a charm that I didn't have. Particular favorites were an abacus, a baby bottle, and a record.




3. Nintendo: I wasn't one of the lucky kids to have a Nintendo at my house. However, I had friends who did. Many hours were spent parked in front of the television playing Mario or Donkey Kong. My babysitters would park me in front of their Nintendo in exchange for a few hours of privacy. I finally got a Nintendo in '93 when the original console was considered obsolete. Obsolete or not, I still got a kick out of playing it.




2. Cabbage Patch Kids: Forget Tickle Me Elmo, the demand for Cabbage Patch kids were way more insane. My dad braved the Christmas crowds in search of a brown eyed brown haired doll for my very own. Instead he got a me a blond haired blue eyed one and told me I should be grateful to have gotten that. I treasured that doll and kept with me for many many years. Once it stopped being interesting as a toy, it became a nostalgic artifact.



1. Madonna: I confess that I was a junior Madonna wannabe. Blame my babysitter who owned Like A Virgin and played it constantly. I begged for my own copy which I received as a birthday gift and I was hooked. She was the continuing soundtrack to my '80s childhood. My mother worked at a video store and managed to score me a cardboard cutout from Shanghai Surprise. I even lucked out and got to see her live during her Blond Ambition tour. To this day I'm still a fan.

The Friday The 13th Movie Guide

With The Friday The 13th remake coming out in a couple of months, I have noticed an increase in people looking for the previous installments. This guide will let you know what to watch and what to avoid, at least in my humble opinion.

Friday The 13th (1980): Years after a horrific double murder, Camp Crystal Lake is ready to reopen. But someone out there is determined not to let that happen.

The Good: This is a pretty taut and scary installment with genuine scares and great atmosphere. If the ending hasn't been spoiled for you then you will be shocked.

The Bad: Absolutely nothing.

Notable Cast Members: Kevin Bacon stars as one of the counselors.

Friday The 13th Part 2 (1981): Five years after the first installment, the ill-fated camp is ready to open. But that is easier said than done.

The Good: Amy Steel as the main heroine Ginny is awesome. Out of all the final girls on the series, she is one of the best. Her character is stronger and sympathetic of Jason which helps her out in the end.

The Bad: Too many characters. They are hard to tell apart and do not warrant the screen time given to them. In fact one character that seems to have a big plot merely disappears never to be seen again. What was the point then?

Notable Stars: Soap Stars Lauren-Marie Taylor and Russell Todd appear as counselors.

Friday The 13th Part 3 (1982) : A former victim of Jason's decides to return to her summer cabin in order to face her fears. But this time she isn't just facing Jason, she's facing him in 3D.

The Good: This film is notable only for being the first to feature Jason is his now iconic hockey mask

The Bad: Let's start with the 3D. Watching it sans 3D glasses is painful and annoying. The acting is atrocious and there are numerous boring scenes that only existed to show off the 3D effects. And was a vengeful biker gang really necessary.

Notable Stars: It should speak for the talent of this cast that most of them are no longer is show business.

Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter (1984): A presumed dead Jason manages to escape the hospital where he was taken in Part 3. He heads right back to his former hunting grounds and the oblivious teens that are there. But has he met his match?

The Good: The acting is a lot higher quality than a majority of the sequels. The kills are more creative. And to top if off this movie actually bears some continuity to the previous films, one of the characters is the brother of a character killed in the first film. Corey Feldman is amazing in the lead role of Tommy Jarvis.

The Bad: Again with the multitude of characters, just because it gives Jason more bodies to hack through doesn't warrant their existence.

Notable Stars: Corey Feldman, Crispin Glover, Peter Barton, and Camilla Moore star.

Friday The 13th: A New Beginning (1985): Tommy Jarvis, who never recovered from his encounter with Jason moves to a halfway house in the woods. But everywhere he looks he sees Jason. Is Jason back or is it all in Tommy's mind?

The Good: It made Part 3 look better in comparison. Shavar Ross is pretty entertaining and watchable.

The Bad: Mediocre acting, completely unpleasant characters that are unwatchable, and the ending which I am going to spoil for you right now. The killer is not Jason but a copycat killer, a human copycat killer who still somehow has Jason's super strength.

Notable Stars: Shavar Ross, as previously mentioned and Corey Feldman does a cameo.

Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986): After being released from the mental institution, Tommy Jarvis returns to Crystal Lake to ensure that Jason doesn't rise from the grave. All he succeeds in doing is resurrecting him and now Tommy must convince a town that's trying to forget that their worst nightmare has returned.

The Good: The entire movie. This film is a perfect synergy of good acting, comedy, and some of the most creative deaths in Friday The 13th's history. This is defintely one of the Friday films not to miss.

The Bad: Absolutely nothing.

Notable Stars: Jennifer Cooke, Thom Matthews , Renee Jones, and Michael Swan

Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988): A telekinetic teen inadvertently resurrects Jason from his watery grave. Her warnings fall on deaf ears and she realizes that only she has the power to send him back.

The Good: Creative kills, not as creative as the previous installment but still memorable.

The Bad: Lar Par Lincoln is simply awful in the lead role. Her character comes off as just completely helpless and the facial expressions she makes while using her powers are comical. The ending is simply cheesy and tacked on.

Notable Stars: Kevin Spirtas, Terry Kiser, Staci Greason, and Elizabeth Kaitan

Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989): A group of graduates are taking a cruise to New York. However they've just picked up a murderous stowaway who plans to paint Manhattan red.

The Good: It was refreshing to see the films leave the all too familiar woods, even if it was shot in Vancouver and purported to be New York. The Opening song is all kinds of '80s awesomeness. There were also some pretty funny scenes.

The Bad: Way, way, too many characters. If you have a character that will literally spend less than ten minutes on the screen before being killed, they are not worth it. The ending was stupid, confusing and never explained.

Notable Stars: Jensen Daggett, Scott Reeves, and Kelly Hu.

Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday (1993): After years of terror, Jason has finally been caught and destroyed. But true evil never dies and Jason begins possessing people in order to get to his long lost sister and be reborn.

The Good: Good action scenes, some great comedic moments, and some decent acting. It was nice to see the films touch on the family of Jason. Actor Steven Williams plays bad ass bounty hunter that should've been in Freddy Vs. Jason and every other Jason movie as long as the actor lived.

The Bad: The Freddy bit at the end was cheesy and there was a sex scene just randomly thrown in there that frankly didn't belong.

Notable Stars: Steven Williams, John De Lemay, who starred in the unrelated Friday The 13th series, Erin Gray, Rusty Schwimmer, Leslie Jordan, and Michelle Clunie.

Jason X (2001): Jason Voorhees unable to be executed has been put in cryogenic suspension along with the government researcher who kept him from escaping. Now 445 years later they are found and unfrozen by a group of students on a field trip.

The Good: It was refreshing seeing it made more Sci-Fi than horror. The deaths scenes are awesome, they are some hysterical one-liners. And Uber-Jason is extremely bad ass.

The Bad: Nothing at all.

Notable Stars: Lexa Doig, Lisa Ryder, and horror director David Cronenberg.

Freddy Vs. Jason(2003): Freddy has been forgotten by the children of Elm Street, thus rendered powerless. He releases Jason from Hell to put the scare back into the children. However Jason refuses to play by Freddy's rules and an epic battle begins.

The Good: Katharine Isabelle saves the film briefly, however rent Ginger Snaps in order to truly experience her awesomeness.

The Bad: 10 Years, I have waited for this pairing. I have read rejected scripts, wrote fan fiction, and even began to wonder if this movie would have ever been made. And I was rewarded with this crap. We don't even get a single cameo from a previous actor of either series, save for Robert Englund. Jason and Freddy are watered down versions of their former selves. The cast is just annoying and the ending was lame and vague. Not worth the wait at all.

Notable Stars: Katharine Isabelle, Monica Keena, Kelly Rowland, Jason Ritter and Lochlyn Munro.
