Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the biggest Horror franchises of all time, and it is perfect the way it is.
However, Paramount needs a hit, so they are going through their catalog and have decided to retell Freddy Krueger’s story with the blessing of the late Wes Craven’s family.
“We look forward to bringing the world of Wes Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street to a new and completely engaged generation of fans,” said Craven’s widow, Iya Labunka, in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “We know that Wes would have been thrilled to see how horror is taking its long overdue place in the cultural canon. We can’t wait for all of us to sit together in a dark theatre – around the campfire of today – as the next chapter of the Nightmare story unfolds.”
As someone who is a huge fan of the original movies and hated the shitty remake, I am against this. I hope that someone haunts the dreams of the executives behind this idea and convinces them not to do this.
When are the studio heads going to realize we want originality? Case in point: Obsession and Backrooms.
Did you watch Barney and find him so annoying that you wished awful things would happen to him? Well, what if he found the kids so annoying that he wished the same for them and acted on it? That is the premise for Buddy.
Remember BUDDY—the bright orange unicorn and star of that classic children’s television show who brought joy and life lessons into your living room?
Inside the colorful world of “It’s Buddy!”, a group of children spend their days singing, dancing, and helping Buddy spread happiness. But when one child refuses to play along, Buddy is not pleased and cracks begin to appear in this seemingly perfect world.
Buddy will make a killing in theaters starting on August 28th.

FEATURE COMMENTARY WITH DIRECTOR/WRITER/EDITOR CURRY BARKER
This is the perfect gift to give to the person who is obsessed with Obsession, and you know who they are. Plus, you would rather they have this than a One Wish Willow…
Fun fact for me! Even though I am a horror movie lover, I was avoiding this movie because it was so popular. But I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it.
What convinced me to see it? They used my friend’s house as Bear’s home. So I had so much fun seeing her place all over the feature.
Actually, a lot of the movie is filmed in my little town, and people are doing tours of the places where it was shot.
The restaurant, Little Tony’s, which featured the film’s most iconic scene, is actually undergoing renovations on the outside. But according to my friend, the inside still looks the same.
I love disaster movies. However, most of the ones that make it to the big screen are not that good. Believe it or not, The Asylum, an independent movie production company, does their take on popular movies before they are released in theaters, and most of the time, they are better. I said it, and I meant it.
They don’t always do that genre or horror; sometimes they do family films. And they have one out now, which is their take on Toy Story.
In New Toy Story, tells the tale of “When a new action figure accidentally knocks a princess doll over the backyard fence, a group of mismatched toys must work together to bring her home before dark.”
The description does not say much, but the trailer has me all warm inside like I grew a heart.
So, I cannot wait to watch it on home video tomorrow because it will be a lot cheaper than going to see Toy Story 5 in movie theaters. That, am too cheap to subscribe to Disney+. So why not watch the one I can afford, which will be just as enjoyable, if not more so?
As a kid, I loved watching movies about camps with bad counselors, whether it was a Horror movie or a Comedy. But they don’t seem to make those types of films anymore. However, this Summer, we are getting a new film with bad counselors: Bad Counselors.
Two frat bros must become church bros, fast. After one wild night ends in handcuffs and a campus police escort, two best friends are slapped with 120 hours of community service due in two weeks, or they’re expelled. Their genius plan? Pose as counselors at a local Christian youth camp, where every sing along, campfire devotional, and trust fall counts toward the clock. Just one problem (okay, three): they don’t like kids, they hate camping, and they have barely set foot in a church. Now they’ll have to learn the lingo, fake the faith, and hide the flask all while dodging suspicious pastors, prankster campers and the cutest co-ed counselors they’ve ever seen. Can two party boys lie their way to redemption? Or will their house of half-truths come crashing down before the closing bonfire? Either way, they’d better start praying for a hedge of protection.
The movie will be in theaters from July 22 until July 27th.
