A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Watch a trailer for the new Michael Bay-produced reboot starring Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger.
Directed by Samuel Bayer. With Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner. A re-imagining of the horror icon Freddy Krueger, a serial-killer who wields a glove with four blades embedded in the fingers and kills people in their dreams, resulting in their real death in reality
TRIVIA: Wes Craven was inspired by several articles printed in the LA Times regarding a group of Cambodian refugees and their children, fleeing from Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime. After settling in America, the kids were suffering horrific nightmares, after which they refused to sleep.
Acting on medical advice, their parents encouraged the children to sleep. Each of the children died in their sleep after having more nightmares. It’s referred to as sudden unexplained death syndrome (SUDS).
TV spot for Saw VI from Lionsgate
There really is still something exhilarating about Tobin Bell’s voice as John Kramer/Jigsaw. Shame he DIED AT THE END OF PART III.
(And there should have been an end to it. Stuck record, etc.)

Saw VI teaser trailer
I can’t believe that the carousel scene is being touted as the main teaser for Saw VI. I’ve seen the full clip and it is completely devoid of any suspense. It’s also deeply worrying that this odd CGI trailer says nothing about the film at all, apart from reiterating the “6” motif. Well whoopie shit.
The only synopsis released by Lionsgate is this:
Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw’s grand scheme is finally understood.
It doesn’t bode well for the sixth instalment of a series that could and should have called it a day with the third.
Having sat through films I-V all in one go last Halloween, I came to the conclusion that only the odd-numbered films are good. And this was being kind to V, particularly since by the time I got to it, I was near-delirious.
If getting a face full of shotgun on a kids’ roundabout is the piece de resistance this time around, I might not even bother with it this Halloween…
