Nightmare on Elm Street reboot where Freddy trolls a bunch of kids by making them shit the bed.

[@Delirium420x]

Freddy being a confirmed diddler is probably the most contentious part of the reboot. Something weird is one of the original ideas for Freddy VS Jason was Freddy worked at camp Crystal Lake and diddled Jason. Thankfully they didn't go with that idea

[@TheNoonish]

I always assumed Freddie being a diddler was implied. There’s basically one serial killer ever who targeted a large number of children, as most of them target adults, and even Wayne Williams killed many adults and was never convicted of murdering a child. But it’s easier to picture a pdf who does naughty things and then kills to hide the evidence.

[@DeepEye1994]

The newspaper in Dream Child did call him child m0le$ter, tho. My only issue with this plot is just the execution, the fact he diddled but didn't kill them leaves confusing logistics, the "I dont want my kid to go talk about what he did!" is way weaker than him getting away with it through a Judge mistake and again THEY WASTE TIME with the "Is he innocent or not?" nonsense. And I hate people saying "He shouldve been innocent so he has motivation!" BUT WHY ISNT HE GOING AFTER THE PARENTS THAT WRONGFULLY KILLED HIM???

[@tanner201x8]

@@DeepEye1994 That would be the point. The parent’s efforts to protect their children sealed their children’s fate. Freddy would’ve been innocent but mob mentality would’ve corrupted him to the monster that we know him to be. Also killing the innocent children of the bad parents would be a fate worse than death. Which might be how Freddy feels being a dream demon. There’s some interesting ideas there

[@Tridona]

I love "Micro dreams" are just this movie's "fear-flashes"

[@christopherauzenne5023]

34:21 yeah this whole tangent is why I’m still salty over them killing Mark (comic book kid) because he did literally everything right, overcame his fear of Freddy because of his love for another, gained dream warrior powers and actively fought Freddy head on, and yet they still bent over backwards to make Freddy win. Because we can’t have ways to deal with him otherwise this demonic serial killer who exists in your sleep an unavoidable state and can alter the dreamscape to fit his liking might actually be beatable. I also feel it’s partly due to conforming to slasher troupes/standards, because for mark or that wizard kid from 3, who also stood up & faced his fears, you’d think for a horror series about dreams it would be the most imaginative/creative kids would be the ones to make it in the end (but no it’s the standard female final girl virgin regardless of if the other characters reflect the ideas of the series much better). Say what you want about the ridiculous ways Micheal or Jason survive/get resurrected but they stay consistent in how to beat them, hit them with something big enough/large a knife Lastly I really liked what you said about Freddy ultimate being a coward/someone acting bigger than they are, because yeah Freddy is sorta that. He was a serial killer who targeted children rather than adults, then when he became undead instead of targeting his killers he still went after kids, and it is though dreams where he could decide the rules/tip things in his favor as well as forcibly disadvantages them (you inevitably have to sleep else you might die of sleep deprivation). Even his weapon reflects that, the claw glove only works for an opponent who can’t fight back.

[@goodtimesgamingtm1316]

Yeah especially for me slashers or at least ones you’re aiming to do a series on should be beatable. Like some horror movies where you can’t win are good but the more movies you do it’s like “okay I get it they can’t win cool”. It’s the reason I think they messed up making Smile 2. But yeah Freddy should’ve had a run, been killed off and rebooted in another decade or so.

[@hariman7727]

That would make these movies more interesting: People who CAN handle fighting Freddy in dreams, but they can't sleep all the time and Freddy can manipulate dreams to keep the strongest people away for a time, so other characters have to step up or die. I'd pay for a movie where Freddy takes a dreamer to a prison, because that character is scared of jail, but it backfires because Freddy hurt kids and prisoners go after pdf.files first.

Like I said on an earlier video. Freddy is the only character that can really get away with "playing with his food" cause what can someone realistically do against him? By making him a super serious, no fun allowed killer it contradicts this. If he's not playing around cause it's fun why doesn't he just use his super dream powers to obliterate the elm street children? Because then the movie couldn't happen. They took THE thing that made Freddy a really unique killer and removed it.

[@TDM1138]

Honestly, this one wasn’t well received because it focused way too much on p*do Freddy as opposed to him already being a murderer. People talk about bad fandoms and people acting angry over nothing, but in 2010 the director and the producer both left twitter after fans got very angry over this film being pretty bad. Maybe just fans know what they want, and this wasn’t it.

[@drdeadred851]

"We're trying to do away with one liners in this new reboot" First kill and the kick off to the title card is a one liner. Being fair to the film it seemed to be pretty much exactly the sort of style that Mauler and Rags said you could pull off in a serious horror film.

[@kingbash6466]

I really hate how there are genuinely a few good ideas in this film. Like the "micro sleep" term is a pretty dumb way to describe how exhausted people get when they get no sleep, but that one scene in the store where Nancy shifts between the real and dream worlds is like the best showcase of this concept. Would have enjoyed the remake if it actually took the idea of trying to escape a dream killer to it's most realistic, terrifying conclusion instead of constantly trying to recreate scenes from the original with effects that look significantly worse than the ones that came out almost 30 years prior and 200% more jumpscares.

[@christopherauzenne5023]

Yeah, they could have totally expanded this idea into being more of a psychological thriller/horror film rather than a standard slasher. The idea is also twice as clever when when you realize what was Wes craven’s original idea/concept for the film, a group of people trying desperately to stay awake at all costs, before it & the series divulged into a more typical slasher series

[@Сайтамен]

​@@christopherauzenne5023 Seems like they tried it with Freddy being more grim and moody...

[@christopherauzenne5023]

@@kingbash6466 just realized something, if they were gonna do the micro sleep concept then why the hell did they do the whole “ oh no I blinked for half a second so I instantly fell asleep” bs. Like seriously that was/is one of the dumbest explanations for how someone enters the dream realm, it’s fine if it’s a boring class or something but when they do it at every turn despite them being perfectly well rested. The micro sleep idea was a much better way of presenting this, like the brain straight shuts down/forces them into sleep or do a more extreme version of the isle scene where they get stuck in and out of the dream realm without either side control

[@eviscerations]

the nightmare on elm street films firmly reinforce the lesson taught to me in screenwriting class: avoid dreams and flashback sequences at all costs. the only movie i can think of that did a dream sequence properly is probably jacob's ladder, imho. otherwise, dreams and the like are generally a terrible place to start from with a script.

As someone who has done a LOT of speed, im talking herculean amounts, let me educate you all a little bit. They got the "microdreaming" thing surprisingly right, it does get like that the longer you stay awake. My record for staying awake with NO SLEEP was around 8, 8 1/2 days straight. After around day 5, the microdreaming stops, even the auditory hallucinations go away. When I finally DID go to sleep, I slept for about 3 days, and when I woke up, I felt better than I ever have in my entire life. And I know, im going to get the people that claim youll die after 4 or 5 days no sleep, well, that didnt happen to me. I had other times where I stayed up 5, 6 days straight too, MANY times in fact. Maybe im built different than other people, but I just know it didnt feel like I was dying or anything, and my wife is my living witness to doing these things.

This movie is absolute dogshit, i hate it. It is a whole lot of nothing. Characters are forgettable, zero storyline. Freddy looks like absolute shit. 1/10. I would watch Freddy vs Jason over this any day of the week.

[@PanzerShrek94]

I must say that i love these lines. "What game you want to play next?" "F*ck you!" "Ooh sounds like fun" Reminds me of the joker. "Very poor choice of words"

46:58 Rags, this is 2010 iPods do exost but about 3 years ago at that point a new little device came out, very similar to the iPod except way better cause it was the iPhone. By 2010, people were jailbreaking their phones. They were very handy ans very stimulating.

Fred Kruger 2010 edition. He hates his dad and listens to Linkin Park.

[@JoeSyxpack]

This is the only movie of this month's EFAP journey that I haven't seen. And I still have no desire to. I think I'm pretty much in agreement with the list at the end. "Freddy v Jason" and "Dream Warriors" are both pretty top-notch as far as the 'Elm Street" series is concerned. "FvJ" takes the top slot for me in both entertainment and quality, simply because you can tell it was made with a great deal of love and respect for both franchises. They took a dumb premise and made it as well as you could possibly hope for. It's a far better movie than it has any right to be.

[@ephraimwinslow]

Man what a steep drop in quality from Freddy vs. Jason. Possibly the most fun slasher movie ever made *and* hands down the best X vs. Y crossover movie. And yes, I include Civil War in that equation. Deal with it.

[@fastlandcliffhanger6962]

Civil War is lowkey overrated. And Zeemo is overrated as fuck.

[@ephraimwinslow]

@@fastlandcliffhanger6962 Freeburg > Zeemo (In case you didn't catch it -- because it's not important -- that's the name of Jay's stoner lookalike/stand-in who gets possessed by Freddy. I maintain to this day that his "Lemme handle this *itch" should be a meme.)

[@Galvatronover]

What’s with the civil war hate ?

[@kylenegaard6461]

@@Galvatronover Hate is a strong word.

[@goodtimesgamingtm1316]

Well they hit the nail on the head in the F V J video. The studio heads: “okay we just need Freddy to fight Jason.” The writer:”okay but I’m actually gonna write like a plot to.” Studio heads:”Why?”

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EFAP!!! This franchise has pros and flaws! Each movie had interesting ideas to it! Sometimes they delivered and others were underutilized! This is true! But this franchise still gave me my love for Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, Lisa Wilcox, and Wes Craven! A monster targeting you in your dreams and exploiting your darkest fears always provided me with endless story material! Thank you so much reviewing all 9 movies!! You made October another fun month for me! 🎃🎃🎃

[@JSPena]

Happy Halloween!

[@doitforthelutz]

Nice Wolf cameo! 🐾 🐺

[@Truejustice420]

I swear these Halloween efaps get better every year🔥🔥

[@bananashoplifter3440]

The fact that *THIS* is the Nightmare that got represented in deadbydoodoo still irks me deeply Also, the cellmate was also the mechanic in Final Destination 4! Oh also also, the doctor in the hospital, is the mom from Halloween Town, weirdly lotta faces in this

[@occultnightingale1106]

Be thankful that trash game got this version and not Englund's

[@bananashoplifter3440]

@@occultnightingale1106 Fair point, just stings, like if someone had only seen the 2011 "The Thing" prequel and never seen the original, y'know? But I get ya

[@Hans-so-low]

So bad I just assumed Zack Snyder directed it.

[@00KiryuZero00]

Not enough slow motion for that

[@VinnieMF]

​@@00KiryuZero00 And everything is in focus...

[@Сайтамен]

It's Michael Bay, close enough.

[@TheNoonish]

It’s more of a JJ Abrams type of badness.

[@sol-hunter2332]

I think nightmare on elm street premise would be a lot better if it wasn't a slasher movie. Instead was a more eldritch dream monster.

[@petery6432]

1:35:27 Whoever decided to write "Freddy's Dead" as the 6th movie in the top list and "The Final Nightmare" as the 6th movie in the bottom list needs to be forced to stream Lord of Ring: Gollum (again).

[@TheShadowOfHumanity]

"Someone mute Rags" is something we all think constantly.

[@portalmanHUN]

Every efap video.

[@taylorlinyard3533]

I actually think Godzilla Minus One did a better dream sequence than most of this franchise.

[@VinnieMF]

Wait, which one?

[@taylorlinyard3533]

@ there was one dream the main hero had where he woke up in his house and seamlessly walked outside back onto the island with Godzilla eating all the maintenance crew

[@jericho7173]

Friday the 13th arc next year!

[@colinr0380]

@32:00 .... and that's also what the unrelated to Nightmare on Elm Street film The Cell is all about too. Which came out from New Line a decade before this remake.

Also why did they turn Freddy into a weird hairless catboy? I hate the prosthetics in this one.

[@NicTheGreek1979]

The Doctor was gonna sedate the girl until the girl sperged out and knocked the syringe out of her hand. THEN she says she needs consent?

[@colinr0380]

@27:00 and this was six years _after_ Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind showed how to do lo-fi dream sequence chase scenes well.

[@jackwintle7683]

Freddy sounds like Duke Nukem in this movie.

[@PhantomMonkey2008]

I saw the third one first and didn’t see the rest until years later. I was happy starting with dream warriors, but Freddy VS Jason holds a special place in my heart.
