*Note: This year
for our annual 31 Days of Halloween marathon of horror movie reviews,
rather than write about old favorites, we're focusing on modern
horror films that haven't had a wide theatrical release. So for the
entire month of October, we will be dealing with horror fare that you
can find in the “New Release” section of Netflix or (if you still
have one) your local video store. So instead of nostalgic
appreciations and recommendations, this promises to be more of a “the
good, the bad, and the ugly” kind of affair. Hopefully more good
than bad and ugly, but that remains to be seen.
Review by Bob
Ignizio
If you would have asked me to make a
list of subjects worthy of a four hour documentary film, it's safe to
say that the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
series created by writer/director Wes Craven and starring Rober
Englund as wise-cracking supernatural child murderer Freddy Kreuger
wouldn't have been on it. Apparently the folks responsible for NEVER
SLEEP AGAIN: THE ELM STREET LEGACY
(writer
Thommy Hutson and co-directors Daniel Farrands and Andrew Kasch) have slightly different priorities than I do, though, and as it turns
out that's not a such bad thing.
