Rewatched Nacho Cerda's filmography a few days ago. Aftermath is still a motherfucker. So is Genesis. The Abandoned is interesting, though not totally successful. I wish like hell he would make a new movie.
Kind of shocked when I saw Aftermath was on YouTube in full, considering the content.
Just started watching The House of the Devil. Anybody seen it? It has the mother from E.T. in it and Francis Dollarhyde from Manhunter in it, so it must be good yes?

It's in my Netflix queue, almost watched it last night, but based on some discussions here, when for "New Nightmare".

Ehh, it's a cool concept. I don't think the execution works very well, though.
I'm with LV on this one. It's got a cool meta-horror concept, but it falls short of the potential.
Besides, there aren't enough laugh-out-loud moments for this to qualify as a horror film
Watched it last night. It was ok. I thought it was solid but the end was kind of meh. I did like that Freddy was back to being creepy / scary and not a caricature of himself like all the other sequels.

The House of the Devil is fantastic, one of the best horror movies in recent years. Expertly crafted - it reaches nearly unbearable levels of tension.

That's kinda what I go for in a horror movie; unbearable tension. I'm gonna have to bump this up on the priority list.

Finished the film, it was great. Nothing really happens until the last 15 minutes but it gets incredibly tense in the build up to that final act. Fantastic film, I highly recommend.
Not bad and definitely one of the better nightmares. I do think Wes Craven could have taken it further though and really made it stronger, or more "realistic" and drive that home more. Ending up back in dream land kind of took away from the point of it all. I feel like bringing Freddy into our world could make him really mean, really scary, a more realistic character. Rob Zombie should re-do this one.
