Up All Night

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 .

Great fun here, made by someone who clearly loves this character as well as the genre. I think the strength is in the simplicity, not reaching for too much in the narrative and it properly hangs on the strength of the actors and direction of the plot. Great atmosphere and a really entertaining climax.

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.

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.

As a Nightmare fan I was in awe of this film, it has everything from comedy to gore, it hit every button. The whole feel of this film is so professional and polished. The plot the play out and acting was brilliant and as for the last five minutes I was like so excited I was like fist bumping thin air lol
