First Impressions: Crazies and Elm Street

The Crazies

I like the original Romero flick, but always had a problem with the pacing. Even for a sneak up on you kinda thriller, it still seemed overly slow. This one seems to add a certain level of high-0ctane. It could be its key to success or undoing. The use of the Mad World song adds an eerie tone keeping with the original so I hope to see this find the balance between them.

Nightmare on Elm Street

Not looking forward to this almost on prinicple. I mean Jackie Earle Haley is a fantastic choice and the new look is pretty awesome, but it just looks like more of the same. The trailer already shows a "revolving bedroom" and claw in the tub scenes.
