My issue with A Nightmare on Elm Street
So, I went and saw the new A Nightmare on Elm Street. I've been wanting to see this movie ever since I heard they were remaking it because I love horror movies. I actually really enjoyed the movie. It didn't fall victim to so many of the cliches that other remakes have. For starters no one ran around naked for half the movie, in fact there was no nudity at all. Also, every other word wasn't F***, sure they said it, but not to the extreme of some other movies. My issue wasn't really with the movie, but the people in the theater. I always like to get to movies a little early so I can get a good seat. There weren't that many people in the theater, then this couple walks in with a little girl who couldn't have been more than 7 or 8. I thought are they in the right movie, but whatever. Apparently the women in front of me thought the same thing because she turned around to me to make sure she was in the right movie. After we confirmed it was the right movie another woman walks in with more small children, then another couple with several more children, including one who was probably only three. Of course, they all choose to sit in the row right behind me. So I spend the entire movie listening to children talk and getting my seat kicked. Seriously people, this is an R rated movie leave the kids at home. If this had been How to Train Your Dragon, I wouldn't have a problem because that's an appropriate movie for children. This movie was in no way a kid friendly movie.
