ada the leading man is my tpye

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Foreverisacastironmess So if you look it up there were some pretty awesome ideas floating around for one at the time, but we never did get a sequel to Freddy Vs Jason, which may not have been a bad thing, as except for the epic fight sequence that movie was pretty hit and miss.. But this here very fun little action horror short as well as its more well-produced sequel does a great job of portraying one possible direction such a sequel could have gone in next... It features Freddy Krueger as the main character who, following his colossal failure to manipulate Jason Voorhies into restoring the Springwood children's fear of him, is stuck in his own nightmarish limbo and decides to try his hand at using another supernatural killer who shares his hell to do his dirty work and gain him his freedom, Michael Myers, aka "The Shape". Freddy soon has no better luck with the sinister silent haunter of Halloween than he did with Jason, and the two end up battling against each other, murderous finger blades against deadly swift knife strikes, first in hell then in Freddy's arena of dreams where he calls all the shots, and then it seems that he's gained the upper hand against Michael...but is them unexpectedly surrounded on all by several more infamous legends of slasher flicks that appear out of glowing doors and who are led by a certain dark priestly figure with a pin-covered visage and who is a demon to some, and an angel to no one!!! It ends on such a great crazy cliffhanger that just leaves you dyin' to see what happens next! But you do know that if anyone could make it out of such a jam it's Freddy! I liked the actor that played Freddy in this, I thought he did a great classic Freddy voice, and although his face was very mask-like in most of the shots he was fun, and he did a better job than that jackass they had playing Freddy in the putrid remake.. Who the hell wouldn't be better for the job than that guy? The fight was a bit on the lame side but I liked and had a blast with it, because it had an enthusiastic energy to it that made it work, and you could tell that this tale of classic titans of terror battling it out was put together by somebody with a real love for those great horror classics. A great watch , and one that makes for some excellent Halloween viewing! X

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Nightmare Ends on Halloween" is a short film from 2004 and this is actually the very first credits as writer and director for Chris R. Notarile, who was in his early 20s when he made this one and has turned into one of the most prolific (short) film directors since then making many other films especially about the legendary horror film characters that you also see in this one. The film has over a million views on Youtube, which by today's standards is not really that much, but how important this film is to Notarile also shows by the fact that he made a sequel to it later on. And this is one example where the sequel is superior to the original work I would say. This one here is really nothing special sadly, actually fairly underwhelming and without the characters hardly anybody would care for it I'm sure. But for such a young rookie director, it is still not too much of a disappointment and I will be a bit generous with my rating here. Notarile by the way also speaks one character himself here. Having seen a solid deal of his later work, I must say that he certainly managed to step things up, but hey you have to start somewhere no? All in all a thumbs-down for this almost 15-year-old work. Not recommended.

adrianeverett74 Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers are both in Limbo. Freddy tries to get back to Dream World and Elm Street via Michael Myerss' limbo stated mind. He succeeds to get back into Dream World but Michael who is now technically dreaming turns on him and the fight is on. During the fight Freddy is summoned to a dingy 4 door concrete basement looking room and soon Jason Leatherface and Michael surround Freddy by entering 3 separate doorways in what looks like a 3 on 1 Handicapped Wrestling Match and soon a 4th door opens with ultra bright light blasting away behind it and in enters Pinhead, General of Hell's Army. The Showdown of a lifetime is about to begin.

Woodyanders Freddy Krueger (nicely played with fierce intensity by Richard Myles) finds himself stuck in limbo after he's defeated by Jason Voorhees. Freddy tries to convince Michael Myers (hulking Joe Davis) to do his dirty work and kill the children of Elm Street. However, a battle to the death between the two terror titans occurs when Michael refuses to do Freddy's bidding. Writer/director Chris R. Notarile has a lot of fun pairing two major horror icons against each other; the big fight between Freddy and Michael is every bit as fierce, strenuous, and exciting as it ought to be. Moreover, Myles does well as Krueger and Davis astutely nails Myers' slow lurching walk and unnerving aura of quiet menace. Better still, the great surprise conclusion features inspired appearances by Leatherface, Jason, and even Pinhead from the "Hellraiser" movies. The atmospheric cinematography makes nifty use of shadowy lighting and background smoke. The lively rocking score boasts a rousing revamped version of the classic "Halloween" theme and cues from Christopher Young's terrific original score for "Hellraiser." However, it's Notarile's obvious and infectious love and enthusiasm for the horror genre that makes this short so enjoyable and appealing. While not as polished as Notarile's latter work, it's still nonetheless a total blast to watch. A cool little item.
