A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Freddy Krueger returns in “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, a contemporary re-imagining of the horror classic. A group of suburban teenagers share one common bond; they are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger; a horribly disfigured killer who hunts them in their dreams. As long as they stay awake they can protect one another…but when they sleep there is no escape.

Donning Freddy’s trademark fedora, red-and-green stripped sweater and four-bladed glove is Academy Award nominated actor Jackie Earle Haley (“Little Children” “Watchmen”). The film is being directed by award-winning music video and commercial director Samuel Bayer (Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”), marking his feature film debut.  The teens who’s dreams are terrorized by Freddy Krueger are played by an ensemble of young actors including Kyle Gallner (“The Haunting in Connecticut”) Katie Cassidy (“Taken”, TV’s “Supernatural), Rooney Mara (“Urban Legend: Bloody Mary”), Thomas Dekker (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”), and Kellan Lutz (“The Twilight Saga”). The supporting cast also includes veteran character actor Clancy Brown (“The Shawshank Redemption” “Highlander”) and Connie Britton (“Friday Night Lights”).

“A Nightmare on Elm Street” is based on characters created by Wes Craven in his 1984 sleeper horror hit. That film went on to become one of the horror genre’s longest-running, most successful and innovative film series, spawning seven sequels.  Now, 25 years later, comes a contemporary incarnation of the Freddy Krueger origin story.

Opens April 30th.

So Good Looking It’s Scary

Trick or treat everyone! The theme for our October is “Boys in Scary Situations”.  Appropriate for Halloween month, don’t you think?  It also seemed appropriate that we profile the other “Winchester Brother” Jensen Ackles as season 5 of Supernatural starts off with a bang.  Tom Dekker is going to be running from Freddy Krueger this Spring.  Can’t wait for that!  And of course we just had to talk about Cam Gigandet from Twilight and Pandorum.  Jesse Eisenberg may be the odd man out, the nerd of the group. But none the less, he’s adorable.

So get out there and vote for your favorite zombie killer, demon hunter, cyborg destroyer or vampire.

Stay tuned – November will be New Moon Month!
