i buy frightmare for six buck at circuit city thinking that it be the early 80 version . imagine my surprise when i pop in the dvd and find a straight to video horror film from the year 2000. i be a fan of say independent film and so i wasn not upset . i decide to give the film it due diligence . the good represent some pretty good scare in this movie . a lot of them be jump scare and loud music tomfoolery and but this film should give you a jump or two and at any rate . some decent atmospheric element . the haunt house be pretty cool . some of the stalking scene ( the one at the beginning and the one in the middle ) be suitably creepy and fairly well do . the two main actress be actually decent actor . the rest of the cast and however and be not very good at all . say actress also provide ample eye candy and if you like tight outfit and leather pant and etc . equal ) the killer outfit or mask or demeanor be also suitably creepy . the bad represent really bad editing . the movie jump around a lot . some of the editing trick be neat and but overall and it pull you out of the movie . the editing also make the plot confuse at time . soundtrack be suspect . the creepy music be good and but the soundtrack often rely on a drum machine or bad techno score to fill in the quiet part . it doesn not work very well . the twist at the end have the ultimate potential for coolness and but the aforementioned bad edit make it fall flat . this be the wasted potential i be refer to . sub par act . a i mention earlier and the two main actress be good and but the rest of the cast come off like a bad high school play . other note represent note the name of the main character . freddy and jason and norman and michael and hellraiser . subtle . you can see a lot of scream influence in this film . it interest to see what be inspire the next generation of filmmaker . overall represent i give it a 4 out of 10. lot of wasted potential here and but the movie be very watchable if you enjoy these type of low budget and independent film . i do not regret spend the six buck at all .
