I wasn't allowed to watch "Freddy" or "Jason" movies growing up, and by the time I watched Krueger on television in the 90s he'd become less nightmarish and more of a self-parody. The 2010 remake promised to bring back the darker tone, and the material certainly provides great possibilities to provoke thoughts and conversations about dreams, death, afterlife, and more. Christians should NOT overlook or avoid the horror genre, as it's one of the few storytelling mediums that deals with things beyond the material world and our eternity. Unfortunately, as a film this Nightmare just isn't a cut above the rest. For more Film & Theology lectures and movie reviews by Pastor James Harleman, check out cinemagogue.com.
