Up All Night

Without a doubt, this was a cut above the rest of any Elm Street fan film that I have seen. Fan films often come off cheesy, not here though, not by a long-shot.

The scenes in the bar were executed extremely well. The camera angles, lighting, and atmosphere were damn near perfect. The "wanted poster" on the bathroom door was hysterical. The actors were completely convincing, especially from Rebecca Tarabocchia and Matt Shaw. The dialogue was also solid and kept me connected. The entire bar sequence was perfect, had to say it again.

The film was on par with any Hollywood studio Nightmare film that I've seen. The tone of this film was consistent and I found myself immediately drawn to these two characters.

I hope to see a feature adaptation in the future with this cast.

This is a great short film with far more than one would ever expect. I thoroughly enjoyed this film by Matt Shaw and recommend it highly to all horror fans.

Much to like out of this little gem but I found the narrative to be a bit sloppy and at times incoherent. I don't mind a diversion from the basic frame work of a Elm street film, but I'm not sure why the events were happening. Also, the ending really brought it from a 7 to 6 for me. Slick camera work, good acting, good editing but the plot did not resemble an elm street film at all.

A well made fan film that will leave you wanting more.

I enjoyed this film immensely, the actors and actress were exceptional . My only regret was that the running time for the film was not longer than it was .
