Ok I love Candyman, but calling NOES “slasher trash” even in comparison is pretentious and absurd.

[@hassledvania]

I dunno how you could call the the series, outside maybe 1, anything else haha It's in no way an insult either. It knows what it is and has a hell of a lot of fun being it.

Good video

[@hassledvania]

Thank you! :)

[@trevorjones8969]

The new Candyman film, whilst not immediately as satisfying actually does a great job of maintaining the dream like atmosphere whilst telling a different and connected story to the original. It's a good story too. Much more rewarding if you've seen the first. Cheers. :)

[@seantaylor424]

I think "trash" is a harsh term for a story as imaginative and well-made as Nightmare on Elm Street and, perhaps, the first sequel. It may not talk about the kind of stuff that Achilles pondered on in his day, but serial killers, grudges that transcend generations, remorse over past crimes and not feeling safe inside your own body are also ideas that people have either dealt with for a long time or are becoming more aware of as time goes on.

[@hassledvania]

Its a light hearted jab. I do really like those films, but at the same time we gotta admit theyre just 90 mins of teens being killed with very little plot lol The first is the only one I wouldnt call trashy

[@seantaylor424]

@@hassledvania I was only talking about the first Elm Street, which is why "trash" seemed to jab below the belt. As much as I love the later movies using character flaws to terrorize and kill the victims (as well as the insanely creative ways some of those kills went down), I kinda wish the series ended with the first movie and the optimistic ending it originally called for.

[@hassledvania]

@@seantaylor424 Okie dokey, I was talking about the franchise as a whole, and used a clip from The Final Nightmare! The original ending of 1 was way better haha

[@seantaylor424]

@@hassledvania Sorry for the misunderstanding. Unfortunately, I'm one of those guys who listens to videos rather than watches them because most of my video-time is at work (I'm a janitor, so I don't really need my brain), or else I'd have picked up on what you were putting down. Now that I am enlightened, I have no choice but to agree, heh heh.
