Watch Krueger: Another Tale from Elm Street For Free

hyped garbage

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

"Krueger: Another Tale from Elm Street" is a 6-minute short film from 2 years ago written and directed by Chris R. Notarile, a young filmmaker, only in his early 30s, who has already made almost 70 films. And the good thing is it's not a case of quantity over quality as this film here is a fairly decent watch. This is mostly because of lead actor Roberto Lombardi, who fits the role of Freddy Krueger nicely and does a very fine job. The child actress is good as well and the writing is okay too, a bit generic maybe, but it's a thrilling watch and I liked that they did not go for some stupid happy ending or something. Certainly recommended for fans of the Wes Craven (rip) franchise. I enjoyed it and if you do so as well, take a closer look at Notarile's/Lombardi's body of work as you will find more Krueger stuff in there. Thumbs up.

At first i wasn't satisfied with the performances, but then later it started to intrigue me. Krueger's actor is very scary. The man makes the Krueger's moves, even acts like the pedophile and cynic he was before been powered by demons. I liked a lot this short and i would like to watch this as a full length movie instead of another Hollywood remake. There's also a quote that reminded me Stephen King's IT when he said: "My name is Freddy. Now that you know my name, i'm not a stranger anymore." The short is good. It can be better with the right budget to do it at big scale, the guys have potential in doing this kind of stuff. It would be nice to watch those guys just like Fede Alvarez who began directing shorts and now he's the director of the EVIL DEAD reboot. There's talent out here. We should keep supporting.

I love when something is done from all the heart. Even if Blinky Production's movies are short, it's not the reason not to name it as a masterpiece. Also, what is very important - the way Fred Krueger was shown to us. And, of course, Roberto Lombardi made the biggest job in that part: I like His independence in role-playing and His approach to every character's detail. I think, He is the man who is the great replacement for mister Englund. Everything: his appearance, his voice and a manner of behavior are perfect compliment exactly for this character. I hope, that Roberto will give himself to his business as He is doing it now and maybe soon we will see a new remake with Lombardi in the main role ;)

Despicable child killer Freddy Krueger singles out sweet young Suzy as his latest intended victim. Writer/director Chris R. Notarile presents a positively nerve-wracking depiction of how Krueger was quite cunning with his victims by approaching them under the deceitful guise of being a kindly stranger with nice intentions (he tells Suzy that her mother has been hurt and needs to see her right away); watching Krueger close in on his prey is similar to seeing a large sadistic cat play with a helpless little mouse prior to killing it. Moreover, Notarile treats the potentially offensive subject matter with admirable taste and restraint; he suggests rather than shows and this short acquires additional chilling potency as a direct result of this. Of course, none of this would work if Roberto Lombardi wasn't convincing as Krueger; Lombardi makes for a terrifyingly believable Freddy and even sounds just like Robert Englund. Breanna Lakatos as Suzy likewise delivers a credible performance that elicits the viewer's sympathy. Nice use of both Charles Bernstein's original score from the '84 original and the classic Steve Lawrence golden oldie "Go Away Little Girl," too. Highly recommended.
