6/10
Interesting, though unoriginal concept
10 March 2006
I gave a 6 because while the production values and acting were terrible, they did a heck of a job on the special effects.

The lighting was terrible. It's obvious the filmmakers know absolutely nothing about light sources. They didn't even use a good filter for the final piece. It looks more like a badly shot soap opera.

The dialogue was horrible. It's almost as if they didn't even try to do much other than steal thunder from the movies the film is based on. In the end it was all I could do to keep from hitting fast forward.

They get marks for scenes and good cuts. This is a difficult thing to do in film-making. Bad cuts confuse the audience as to why we are where we are. They did a god job in the editing phase of piecing the movie together.

The sounds and effects were an excellent blend of their own scenes, and then mixing in the respective soundtracks from the other movies. It's a nice touch adding in a remade, more punkish version of the Ghostbuster's Theme song.

The biggest plus in this is Freddy. They did an excellent job in putting Freddy back to what we remember. Green and Red striped sweater, knives for fingers on his right hand, and that fedora. Great job, gentlemen. Your Freddy was convincing, and had a great voice for the role.

Overall this is a waste of 30 minutes. Watch the opening. It's hard, because of the terrible "dream" lighting, but it is a good opening. Watch the title sequence. Again, great job. I'm watching a parody, show me what is familiar before you make your jokes. Next see the first ghost catching scene. For amateurs, this was pretty good. Then watch the entire closing sequence as they go after Freddy. The dialogue still sucks, but hearing Freddy recite the nursery rhyme was very well played. In all it will take you about 10-15 minutes to see the highlights. When you're done, zip back tot heir website and download another flick. Independent artists like this need to be supported. That's how they become people like Kevin Smith...
