For you youngins, VHS, which stands for the "Video Home System," was a standard for consumer-level use of analog recording on videotape cassettes. VHS tapes had previews that took a lot longer to skip through, didn't usually contain special features, supposedly had worse image and sound qualities than DVDs (although that's mostly a myth) and required rewinding if you were ever going to watch that film again. A typical 90-minute film would take about 5-10 minutes to rewind, too, so that was never fun, hence why Blockbuster had to remind its customers with this little disclaimer: "Just to remind, please rewind." Nevertheless, they were basically the movie format that us '80s children grew up watching, and they were awesome! They even made for cooler box sets, too, see?
I kind of miss VHS cassettes, but not really, as they were a lot harder to store and their viewing quality would go majorly south after a decade or so when the film would become grainy due to environmental elements and cause our screens to pop and hiss at us. But this weekend, the old VHS collection I had from the mid-'90s seems to have held up okay, as I got to experience the first seven of nine Freddy Krueger movies on that format, and then the eighth one, 2003's Freddy vs. Jason, on DVD, since I don't own that one on VHS. The only film the fiancée and I skipped was 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street, a remake that neither one of us owns, and that we both figure didn't warrant watching anyway, since it didn't "continue" any story, but rather "restarted" it. As far as we're concerned, the first eight pretty much encompass the entire story arc of Freddy, so they're the only ones I need to cover here today.
However, I'm going to do this rundown a little differently than the previous ones. Instead of describing every detail of every movie and therefore ruining said movies for anyone happening upon my write-ups, I'm just going to cover the overlying themes of the movie, the stuff I liked and didn't, and some neat facts that you may or may not want to know, while simultaneously trying to tie everything in together. When it comes to Freddy Krueger's pop culture references and special effects killings, there is just sooo many little details to remember, that it'd take me a lifetime to write a thorough review of everything, and honestly, I just don't want to sit here that long writing this up, because there's still one more marathon I want to get to and a few Halloween events I want to attend in real life, so without further adieu, let's get started.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - Run Time: 91 mins. - Released: 11/16/84 - My Rating: 7.5/10 - The first one is the one where we meet Fred and learn of his story, so people naturally assume that it's the best one. Hell, they even state this outright in Wes Craven's New Nightmare, during a scene where a talk show host is interviewing series actress Heather Langenkamp! (However, Wes also directed that film, while other filmmakers directed the in-between films, so that opinion may have been just a wee-bit biased.) I'm in the minority that disagrees with what was opined there, as I think Dream Warriors is a better overall film, albeit only slightly. More on that in my Nightmare 3 blurb, but as far as the first film goes, it was an awesome experiment, too. A couple of fun facts about part one: It was Johnny Depp's introductory film role (and he dies in it!), more than 500 gallons of fake blood were spilled throughout its 1½-hour run time (I'm guessing New Line Cinemas went more CGI for the remake?) and it featured a serial killer who was actually named after Wes Craven's real-life school bully. Forever stigmatizing the guy who used to pick on you as a "monster" in the eyes of millions of movie-goers has got to be the ultimate revenge, no?! So anyway, let's get into the film and its backstory now. Years ago, a child murderer named Fred Krueger killed at least 20 children who lived in the Elm Street neighborhood of Springwood, Ohio. Arrested and brought to trial, he got off on a legal technicality, after which a vigilante group of ticked-off parents tracked Krueger to the abandoned boiler room where he committed his horrific crimes, doused the place with gasoline and burned it to the ground, killing Freddy in the process. Now, back in the present day, Freddy's found a way to get back to doing what he loves, as he's become a dream stalker who taunts and murders children in their nightmares. He's essentially become a boogeyman, one who can only exist behind the wall of sleep. However, if these kids don't wake up screaming, they won't wake up at all, as a death in the R.E.M. state equals a real-life fatality for them. More specifically, this movie follows Nancy Thompson (played by the aforementioned Langenkamp), a neighborhood teenager living in Freddy's former home, located at 1428 Elm Street, and her friends, as they run from Mr. Krueger, a guy with a trademark outfit (dark brown Fedora hat, red- and green-striped sweatshirt, a gloved hand with knife-like claws welded onto it, black pants and construction boots) and burnt skin. Freddy exists only in dreams, so the makers of the movie get a lot of mileage from their special effects department, as Freddy can do everything from dragging people up a wall and murdering them in cold blood without anybody ever seeing him to pulling teenagers into their chairs and turning them into nothing more than geysers of blood. It ain't until Nancy pulls Freddy into the real world and turns her back on him in the final scene, that she's finally able to stop feeding his merciless energy and weakens him enough to "defeat" him, and I use that word very loosely here, as Freddy always seems to be able to find new children to use as power sources and re-emerge pretty much whenever he wants. Though it seems a bit dated now, this movie scared people away from sleeping back in the '80s, much like Jaws had scared them out of the water in the '70s. It's more the thought of some monster grabbing hold of you at a time when you've got no control of the situation and causing you great harm, rather than people actually fearing the almost cartoonish creation that is Freddy himself.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) - Run Time: 87 mins. - Released: 11/01/85 - My Rating: 5/10 - It's been five years since Freddy's last adventure, and the family of a new child named Jesse Walsh has moved into the house at 1428 Elm Street, the house once owned by Nancy Thompson's family. Nobody had wanted to move into that house because of the known atrocities that occurred there, so Jesse's father bought the home for cheap, but soon thereafter, Jesse begins having those horrible Freddy nightmares. Unlike the last time, Fred's not only trying to kill this teenager in his sleep, but he's also trying to take possession of him, in order to be able to serial kill out in the real world again while using his own brain along with Jesse's body. However, Jesse has a girlfriend named Lisa Webber (who's played by Kim Myers, an actress who uncannily resembles Meryl Streep), a fellow jock named Ron Grady (played by Robert Rusler) and Nancy Thompson's found journal (which allows Jesse to identify the monster in his own persistent nightmares), to help steer him clear of Freddy as best as possible. Krueger's not an easy foe to best, though, and often times makes Jesse fear what he's becoming, as was the case when Jesse was just barely able to stop himself from attacking his baby sister or after Jesse kills both Coach Schneider and Ron Grady with Freddy's gloved hand. At this point in the movie, Jesse's mom was beginning to realize her son was crazy, Jesse's dad was looking into placing his son in a methadone clinic for drug rehabilitation, and Jesse was no longer sure that they weren't right about him. Long story short, this movie ends with love overcoming all, as Lisa's the one who saves the day when she confesses her love for Jesse and kisses Freddy, forcing Jesse to fight his way out of Freddy's control, thus (temporarily) thwarting another one of Freddy's evil schemes. There were more things I didn't like about this movie than things I did like, so here's a quick rundown. First, the story seemed forced (new kid in town knows nothing about the house he moved into's history despite everyone else knowing it? Hard to believe. Love defeats Freddy, really? Talk about corniness to the tenth degree!). Second, the storyline was a bit hard to follow, as the new director, Jack Sholder, made it deliberately hard to tell when our protagonist was awake or asleep. Third, the acting is ridiculously bad in this film, moreso than in other Nightmare films, which is hard to believe considering how this franchise has been plagued by bad actors, and kind of ironic considering the main female lead looks like a bajillion-time Oscar winner! And lastly, but certainly not least, Freddy's comical self was mostly taken away from us, as he essentially became a crass-talking, cowboy-posturing version of himself, with straight-to-the-point lines like "come here, f**ker!," for this mostly-bad sequel.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) - Run Time: 96 mins. - Released: 02/27/87 - My Rating: 8/10 - This third installment features the best cast, best plotline, best special effects and best backstory of any of the other movies in the series, and it also introduces a drug that continues on through almost every other installment thereafter. First, the cast. Heather Langenkamp returns as Nancy Thompson, in order to try and make folks forget that horrible second movie. This time around, she's aided by Patricia Arquette, who went on to win acting's "Big 3" (an Oscar & Golden Globe for the movie Boyhood and an Emmy for the television show Medium), but who was only then being introduced to movie-goers, as well as Laurence "Larry" Fishburne, also a future Academy Award nominee, who had already co-starred in Apocalypse Now and would later go on to play his most notable role as The Oracle in The Matrix. There's also an actor named Craig Wasson in this film, that if you didn't know any better, you'd swear is Bill Maher, but trust me, he's not. He is, however, the doctor who suggests using an experimental drug called Hypnocil for his Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital patients to avoid dreaming, but of course the hospital takes issue with using a non-approved medication, and so the crap hits the fan again, giving our esteemed special effects team a ridiculous amount of extra work to do. The reason this film was so good is because it took a different approach from its two predecessors, in that it focused on an entire group of people joining forces, in dream, to take on Freddy. Led by their newly-minted Dr. Nancy Thompson (Langenkamp) and supposed "suicide attempter" Kristen Parker (Arquette), the group is composed of teenage hospital patients suffering from the same Freddy-type nightmares, who choose to enter into a shared dream using Kristen's ability to pull people into her dream world. They all possess individual dream powers, which they discover as the film progresses, but still most of them die at the hands of Freddy in very memorable ways. Freddy kills a sleepwalker by turning him into a marionette puppet using the guy's limbs as strings, a T.V. junkie by way of a television coming to life and smashing the girl's head into it, an ex-heroin addict by turning his claws into various syringes and sticking them in her creating an overdose, a handicapped boy by using his own wheelchair against him, Nancy's dad by possessing his own dead skeletal bones and coming back to life temporarily to whoop some @$$, but eventually, the few remaining dream warriors "defeat" Freddy by burying his bones in hollow ground, since the living Freddy never had a proper burial. How did they know this is what they had to do? Sister Mary Helena told them so. Who is that? Well, that was her name in Christ, but before she became a nun, she was known as Amanda Krueger. That's right, they introduced Freddy's mother into the series with this movie, and even filled us in on the horrible day Freddy was conceived. He was the bastard son of a hundred maniacs, whose mother was raped by lunatics when she was locked in the asylum for the holidays by accident. No wonder the guy turned into a monster!
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988) - Run Time: 93 mins. - Released: 08/19/88 - My Rating: 6/10 - The second most financially successful film of the series (after only 2003's Freddy vs. Jason), this one brings Freddy back to get revenge on the three remaining dream warriors: Kristen, Kincaid and Joey. Freddy makes quick work of the latter two, as he kills Kincaid in a junkyard while in the form of a car, and then drowns Joey in a waterbed after luring him into it by posing as a naked female model. Then, it's on to Kristen, who is no longer played by Patricia Arquette, but rather some girl named Tuesday Knight, who looks nothing like her. Anyway, since it's NOT Patricia, the makers of this film didn't need some no-talent actress taking up space on their set, so they also had her die rather quickly, by having Freddy toss her into his boiler. Once she died, however, her ability of being able to pull others into her dream transferred to her best friend Alice, who also happens to be the sister of Kristen's boyfriend Rick, as she was the only other person involved in this particular dream sequence. To fast forward a bit, after martial arts enthusiast Rick dies during hand-to-hand combat with a cheating Freddy, asthmatic genius Sheila dies by having Freddy suck the air out of her lungs and entomophobic tough girl Debbie dies by being turned into a cockroach and crushed in a roach motel, it's up to Alice and her crush Dan to save the day. They both head into a final dream showdown with Freddy at a church, where Alice, recalling an old nursery rhyme called "The Dream Master," forces Freddy to face his own reflection, causing the souls within him to revolt suddenly. As they tear their way out of Freddy's burnt skin, he becomes a hollow husk, never to be seen again... until the next movie, of course! (The characters did tell him to "rest in Hell," but we all know that's not going to happen because pure evil never really dies.) Anyway, I had two major problems with this film. First, if you're bringing back a character like Kristen, who was clearly the important tie-in character between the third and fourth films, you have to bring back the same actress who previously portrayed her. If you can't get that actress back for whatever reason, then at least bring on somebody who really, really looks and acts like her, not some Saturday Night Live version of your stereotypical blond girl because, contrary to what "Fred Heads" -- and yes, I may have just coined that term! -- may think, they aren't all the same! It was hard for me to suspend reality and see this Tuesday Knight person as being anywhere near the same as Patricia Arquette, so a part of me kept having to remind myself that this was in fact the same character, to keep up with this storyline. The second major problem I had with this film is that they essentially killed Freddy by holding a mirror up. Really?! If this is all it takes to kill "The Springwood Slasher," then how'd he survive that entire room full of mirrors in the previous film? This ending just doesn't add up. There was poor execution all around with this film, but I feel that the comical lines (for instance, my favorite one -- Freddy saying, "You shouldn't have buried me. I'm not dead!") and good special effects (the time warp scene was hilarious, and the roach motel scene was epic!) somewhat made up for that, so it was still an okay overall movie.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989) - Run Time: 89 mins. - Released: 08/11/89 - My Rating: 4/10 - The title of "Worst Freddy Movie" is a toss-up between parts five and six of this franchise, but I give the edge to part five because of all the mistakes and inconsistencies made throughout this fifth installment, and the fact that part six was just a more enjoyable film on my imaginary fun-to-scary ratio. What made this fifth film so unenjoyable? Probably the same thing its creators were using to try to make it more "artsy:" the general tone is much darker than your usual tongue-in-cheek Freddy movie, the dream sequences are a lot more gothic in nature than what we'd grown accustomed to throughout the '80s and an annoying blue filter lighting technique is used in most of the scenes. Also, the movie itself had a stupid premise, and there were a couple of noticeable goofs made in it. So, first off, Alice and Dan are now officially together, and she's pregnant. Unbeknownst to her, the way Freddy's feeding his power source this time is through her unborn baby, who in the movie is the one guiding her actions in the guise of a fully grown kid named Jacob. Still with me? I know, this is way more complex than your usual Freddy movie, but anyway, let's keep going. Dan quickly dies in this film in a horrible accident (*cough* Freddy caused it! *cough*), and Alice keeps having dark dreams of Amanda Krueger's rape and Freddy's birth. There are two somewhat interesting death scenes that follow between here and the movie's ending -- one featuring a starving model friend of Alice's being forced to eat herself in a dream since Freddy was her deceptive waiter, and then choking on that meat when she finally woke up ("You are what you eat!"); the other featuring that girl's comic book-loving secret admirer becoming an imaginary comic book hero, only for Freddy to turn him into a paper doll version of himself and shred him apart ("Faster than a bastard maniac! More powerful than a loco-madman! It's... Super Freddy!") -- then, it's back to the rest of this lame-o movie and things that just don't make sense. First off, Alice has a friend named Yvonne who never believes a word she says about Freddy's existence, but later, she's the one forced to be the helping hand in her war against him. (More on this in a moment.) Secondly, in the last film, Alice had a severe drunk for a father whom she could never rely upon, but in this movie, he's recovered from all that drama without any problems whatsoever and all is forgiven. Not only that, but he's also the ONLY person she can rely upon when Dan's parents come threatening to take increasingly-crazy talking Alice's unborn child away from her in court, something the movie never even follows up on because it really had no place in this film, so why even bring it up in the first place? Third thing, when Freddy's being born, they show him as being all disfigured, but how can he have been disfigured when in other Nightmare films, you see him as a normal-looking adult before the townsfolk come a-callin'? And before I can reveal the fourth and final unbelievability, I must finish telling you about the film, by going back to the first thing I listed here: Yvonne. What causes her to change from total doubter to 110% believer is that Freddy attacked her at a pool. After that, she was gung-ho about bringing about his end, so she agrees to help Alice, and goes off to find Freddy's mother's remains, in order to free Amanda Krueger from her Earthly prison (the asylum wherein she was raped). Once she finds Amanda locked in a tower at the asylum, Amanda informs Jacob to use Freddy's own power against him to save Alice, which he does, causing "in utero" Freddy to die. Jacob is then returned to his infant form within Alice, while Freddy is returned to his infant form within Amanda, only to be considered "defeated" once more. However, in his supposed defeat, I was left at home wondering two things: 1) What the heck did I just watch, and 2) How was Amanda locked in that tower if they showed her grave in the third Nightmare film? Like I said at the start of this blurb, inconsistencies and mistakes marred this movie from the get-go. Even after it was all said and done, another mistake haunted its end credits, as Lisa Wilcox's (a.k.a. Alice's) name was left off of them, tarnishing the one good thing this movie did do (selecting Kool Moe Dee's "Let's Go" as the song to walk us out of this crappy flick). If I had to sum this movie up to you in just two words, those two words would be "don't watch." 'Nuff said!
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) - Run Time: 89 mins. - Released: 09/13/91 - My Rating: 4.5/10 - I thought Freddy was dead after that horrible fifth movie made most people never want to watch another Freddy flick, but I guess I was wrong because this one here, this was the official "death" of Freddy! (Guess we never mind the fact that he returns for two more movies -- and one more remake of the original movie -- after this one?) Okay, you know what? Fine, I won't be as negative with this blurb as I was with that last one, as this first '90s installment was a slightly better film experience than that last crock of crap, albeit very slightly, since the plot still seemed very forced. Basically, we're made to believe that, in 1966, Freddy had a child, who was taken away from him and put into an orphanage. Before you ask, nope, the main star of this movie is not that child, even though they try hard to convince you that he is throughout the entire first half of the movie, but rather, it's that child's therapist (Maggie Burroughs, a.k.a. Katherine Krueger) who is Freddy's estranged daughter. The town took away his little girl, so Freddy made them pay by taking away ALL of THEIR children. Yeah, okay, whatever, Freddy, I guess that makes you a righteous man, never mind the fact that you killed your wife through your abusive ways and that your child had ZERO knowledge that she was even your child (you two must've been really close, huh?)! I also didn't like the ending, since it was so similar -- and therefore, an un-thought-out rip-off of -- the ending of part one, since both had their respective casts pulling Freddy out of the dream world, only to defeat him in real life, this time by blowing him to smithereens with dynamite. *Yawn.* What this franchise needed after these two films was some creativity, not just more re-hashed garbage, and thankfully, that's what it got with the next two films. However, since I said I wasn't going to be as negative with this one, I won't be. Instead, let me focus on the good stuff in the film. It actually starts off REALLY well before taking a nose dive, as a deep-thinking Friedrich Nietzsche quote about dreams segues into a very silly and crass Freddy quote ("Welcome to prime time, b!+{#!"), which then segues into Freddy's wild bus ride in a possible tribute to part two of the franchise ("No screaming while the bus is in motion!"), which then becomes a plane scene with an older lady telling the male teenage lead to not be a p*$$y, which is then followed by a very obvious and hilarious Wizard of Oz reference (Freddy, dressed as the Wicked Witch of the West, flies by on a broomstick, and says, "I'll get you, my pretty! And your little soul, too!"). How can you NOT love that intro?! On land (bus), air (plane) and sea (okay, no sea!), Freddy comes into this movie in full attack mode with his testosterone on overdrive, and one can only assume that that's because this male lead is supposedly the last survivor in all of Springwood, as all the children there have been killed in a series of dream killings and all the adults are now suffering from mass psychosis. The only other thing I really liked about this film was how it made fun of everything from Super Nintendo ("Now I'm playing with power!") to those cheesy '80s "this is your brain on drugs" egg commercials ("Yeah! What are you on? Looks like a frying pan and some eggs to me"). In another possible tribute to its predecessors, the anti-drug commercial featured here starred original Nightmare cast member Johnny Depp, who for some bizarre reason -- inside joke, maybe? -- was actually credited as "Oprah Noodlemantra" in the film. That was it for "good" things in this film, although there was also a really annoying cameo by then-married Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold, which I assume some people must have appreciated, but I wasn't one of those. So, let's move on to some better, less all-over-the-place movies now, with Nightmares seven and eight.
Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) - Run Time: 112 mins. - Released: 10/14/94 - My Rating: 7/10 - After the last two Freddy films bombed at the hands of directors Stephen Hopkins and Rachel Talalay, the franchise was looking for some rejuvenation. What better way to get that than to go back to its original director Wes Craven, the most creative person ever associated with this film franchise? He's the man who came up with the concept of Freddy, who named him, who first wrote up a story for him, and now, he'd be the phoenix rising up from the ashes to save him. "Freddy's Dead," you say? Well, I beg to differ! In a very unique and utterly different storyline, we come to learn that Freddy's NOT dead, only the CHARACTER of Freddy is. The movies had gone stale, and no one really cared to see him anymore. What, then, do you do? Don't make a movie about Freddy the character, that's what. Nope, this movie wasn't about Freddy the character, it was about Freddy the entity, who has now taken on a life of its own. We're taken back to the beginning of the series with the return of both Heather Langenkamp, who previously and famously played Nancy Thompson, and John Saxon, who previously and way-less-famously played her father Don Thompson, only this time they're playing themselves. The movie is about New Line Cinemas ordering a new Freddy movie with Craven once again at the helm. The reason, the studio suits explain to Heather, is that they were going to kill Freddy, but the fans kept clamoring for more. Plus, Wes' nightmares had inspired the horror movies of his past, but he hadn't had any in ten years, but now, all of a sudden, he's having them again, so they've asked him to write the new movie's script. As he writes it, though, the events he's writing actually start happening in real life: Nancy is plagued by harassing phone calls from an unknown source and dreams that Freddy's claw is alive, her son Dylan wakes up singing Freddy's nursery rhyme and quoting lines from his mommy's Nightmare movies (parts one and three), her husband Chase Porter falls asleep driving to their house and dies, but not before Heather dreams that Freddy had killed him... and when she sees him at the morgue, he's got claw marks on his chest. At the funeral, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake rocks the ceremony, and Heather watches as Freddy comes out of the coffin and drags her son away, only to wake up and find out that that last thing was only a dream. She confronts Robert Englund, the actor who'd always played Freddy up through then, but he says he knows nothing about Freddy coming to life, and that if she needs him to help out with anything, that she knows where to find him. Freddy's taken on a life of his own, no longer controlled by movie direction, but rather by fan interest and his own need to exist, and the only way to get rid of him this time is for Wes to finish typing the script as quickly as possible. As the Smiths once sang, "How soon is now?" That's what Nancy wants to know, as she again faces off with Freddy in this completely original seventh movie installment. Leave it to Wes to save the day for Freddy fans and for Nancy alike!
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) - Run Time: 97 mins. - Released: 08/15/03 - My Rating: 7/10 - Previously known as A Nightmare on Friday the 13th, which frankly I think is a much cooler title, this film went on to become the highest grossing one in the series' entire history. How'd that happen? By having great crossover storytelling and by giving fans of both franchises a chance to miss their preferred serial killers. What happened here is that Freddy Krueger is trapped in Hell, it's 2003 and four years after the events and time of the sixth film -- remember, the seventh film was "real life," so there was no "Freddy" in that one -- but due to the fact that the teenage residents of his town of Springwood have forgotten about him, he's been rendered powerless and can no longer return to Springwood because there's no fear of him left in the entire town. He "can't come back if nobody's afraid," so, under the guise of Jason Voorhees' mother, Freddy manipulates Jason, who he found while searching through the bowels of Hell, into killing the teenage residents of Springwood, hoping the mass fear will restore his powers. After all, residents of Springwood were terrorized by Freddy, not Jason, so obviously, every ounce of fear would be directed toward him, giving him more power than he'd ever hoped for. His plan works, but only to the extent of allowing his return. Once Freddy regains enough energy from the town's fear to once again give him life, he finds that Jason's like a big dumb dog that doesn't want to stop killing the "bad kids" of Elm Street, which Freddy, of course, sees as his job -- and it's one that he really enjoys doing! Therefore, Freddy must stop Jason from killing somehow, and so the two start trading attacks, with the town's children (a group that includes Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child in her introductory film role) eventually sending Lori Campbell, current resident of 1428 Elm Street, into the dream world to pull Freddy out, as they drive Jason, who they've hopped up on Hypnocil, to Camp Crystal Lake, in order to give him home-field advantage. The plan works, and the stage is set: Freddy vs. Jason at Crystal Lake! However, if you're expecting to find a victor here, don't, because Freddy gets beheaded, but as Jason walks away carrying Fred's head, Freddy winks at the camera, so this battle may not yet be over. It either may have continued once we stopped following, or it will continue in a future sequel... who knows, and really, who cares? As long as both of our preferred serial killers are still around to taunt and terrorize teenagers in the future, it's all good with us! *Wink.*
Don't worry, kiddies, since finishing this mostly-VHS marathon, I have moved back into the new millennium, along with this franchise that has since started back at one (with a remake of the original film) and which stars Robert Englund as Freddy no longer (who the hell is Jackie Earle Haley, and why does the new "Freddy" have a girl's name?!)...
PS: Although there are now nine films in total (counting the 2010 remake), I know of at least one more remake that's set to hit theaters either in 2016 or 2017, so who knows how many there'll be by the time that you come across this write-up? May the rest be as enjoyable as Parts 1, 3, 7 & 8, and nowhere near as mediocre as Part 4 or as downright bad as Parts 2, 5 & 6!
