The more you believe the more powerful he gets...


Hey!!!! We had a movie like this in our day too, but his name was Freddy!

One, two, Freddy's coming for you
Three, four, better lock your door
Five, six, grab your crucifix
Seven, eight, gonna stay up late
Nine, ten, never sleep again

Yeah, it's no surprise that this brings to mind NOES. At least this looks like it'll be rated R like that was. It looks sufficiently dark and twisted. Hope it's good.

The Aparition and Boogeyman 3 had the same idea.

Or Candyman

Say his name 5 times and he comes to kill ya....

Candyman was sweet.

Candyman was in my era. I still get spooked about it. I wonder if it's held up?

Big whoop, with Beetlejuice you only have to say it 3 times!

This is completely different from Nightmare Of Elm Street...

reply

It's different, atleast it looks different, but the same thing happened with Freddy. Nancy figured out the more you give in to fear the stronger Freddy gets and the whole soul of the children further explored in dream warriors, dream child, dream master.

reply

But it's exactly like The Babadook which obviously took some inspiration from Nightmare.

reply

I agree. More like Candyman. If Candyman had a threesome with Lights Out and It Follows...

reply

NOES I freddy gets more powerful by Freddy killing the kids in his dreams and by that Freddy could come out of Dreamland not if you believe it more.

reply

Candyman: say his name 5 times while looking at the mirror and he kills you or something like that. Still remember that sweet movie.

This movie also borrowed a scene from Boogieman 2005! (robe silhouette)
