A Nightmare on Elm St Part 5: The dream Child. 1989.

Alice and Dan graduating from High School and Alice is pregnant, Freddy has found a way to come back through her unborn baby.

Director Stephen Hopkins did try to bring the franchise back but exec heads gave him four weeks to film and four weeks to edit and here's what we have, a bit of a mess, like number 3 Amanda Krueger gives a bit of detail, here we see what happened which was a nice touch to the background of Freddy this just seemed a rush job but does have decent kills in it, give a guy a job and let him work the magic executives, not a quick job.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. 1991.

With the children of Springwood dead, Freddy hunts for fresh meat, when a social worker has a John Doe land on her door step, she decides to go back with him and three others to the town and uncovers a connection she has to Freddy.

Always remember this got some hype when it arrived on cinema about the 3D experience then the tapes with the paper 3D glasses i'm sure we all remember that did very little at times. Even with Yaphet Kotto, Alice Cooper Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold making a small cameo role it didn't help this one bit, for me this was more comical than anything. Yeah it had a good outline but failed miserably. I am not daft on New Nightmare but may give it a watch at some point.

Did anyone saw this? This was good, saw the trailer a couple of months ago and it look like another "spirit/ghost" movie, but that 3rd act is complete bonkers 100% recommend

Doesn't come until November in Japan. I'm looking forward to it.

Interview with the Vampire (1994)

Two sequences always stand out for me above all the rest when watching the excellent Interview with the Vampire.

Probably the film's most striking sequence is the Theatre des Vampire show in Paris, where a coven of vampires carries out daily sacrificial rites in front of an audience. Director Neil Jordan stages this brilliantly and a feeling of dread overcomes the viewer as it doesn't take long to realize what exactly is going to happen. As Brad Pitt's Louis smiles to Claudia (the superb Kirsten Dunst), a vampire in the body of a child, 'Vampires pretending to be humans pretending to be vampires'. The way the coven swarm over the naked girl like rats, very creepy.

Also what a sublime final scene Neil Jordan gives the film. It's a perfect example of how to use a song - Guns N' Roses performing Symphony for the Devil - to close a movie. It's up there with The Devil's Rejects and Freebird for me with the beautiful free flowing camera movement out of the car as Tom Cruise's Lestat clicks play on the car stereo, with the camera fluidly circling around the Golden Gate Bridge and finally over the city as dawn breaks...

...Just one thing. Lestat had better drive fast. Sun and vampires don't really go. Claudia will attest to that.

A perfect way to end a near perfect movie.

I love the bit where Louis and Lestat discover that Claudia had been hiding a body in her bed. I also love the part when she tricks Lestat into drinking dead blood from the young boys.

Love this film!

They basically tell her not to shit where she eats don't they. :lol:

That's pretty gruesome. The way she picks Lestat up then slices his throat. It's a fantastic effect.

The Blu-ray wasn't the greatest example i didn't think. Well lit scenes look terrific but other darker sequences appear quite soft at times. It could do with a 4K restoration.

The 5:1 TrueHD soundtrack was also quite subtle. Made me think it was probably originally a two channel stereo track when it originally was made.

It's screaming out for a remaster, a lot of those early releases which looked good 10-12 years ago don't look great by today's standards.

HELLRAISER (1987)

Great stuff. Some horrific images in this movie. The scene where Frank comes back from under the floor boards still looks awesome.

REPULSION (1965)

Good psychological horror. When her sister leaves her alone while she goes on holiday, Catherine Deneuve sinks deeper and deeper in to depression and has nightmarish visions including rape which lead to murder. Great final scene although nothing matches the first time you see it.

THE INVISIBLE MAN (1933)

Hugely enjoyable Universal horror. The first scene where Griffin enters the tavern are great, he looks rally creepy. The effects are superb for the time and the movie rattles along with a mixture of sci-fi horror amd humourous moments.

THE PREMATURE BURIAL (1966)

Atmospheric movie in Roger Corman's 'Poe' cycle of films.
Now, if only I could get the gravediggers whistling tune out of my head!

When I first saw this (on video when I was 15), I thought Sympathy for the Devil was a new song by Guns N' Roses, written specifically for the film. It was only when I mentioned it to my dad and he said something like "Ooh ooh… ooh ooh" that I wondered why he knew it – he then said it was a Rolling Stones song.

As you said, it's a great way to end the film, one that is long overdue a rewatch.
