Remember the Cinémathèque’s down and dirty grindhouse days, back when the city’s most venerable cinema institution was home to sinful nights of debauchery and excess? You thought these days were over and its instigators Jacques le Rippeur and Gove Van Meatgrinder punished and banished to distant lands? If only you were so lucky!
This Halloween, Luxembourg’s infamous sin-ephiles are back from purgatory and guess who’s coming along?! Well if it isn’t 1980’s iconic horror villain Freddy Krueger, the pizza-faced bastard son of a thousand maniacs!
In the best Cinélunatique tradition, we’ve decided to cut right down to the chase and show you the two best and leave the rest. Take our word for it, when it comes to Elm Street’s nightmares, it doesn’t get any better than parts 3 and 4 (which reboot the series with a new set of characters, so no need to rewatch the first two). This is Krueger at his most devilishly fun and grotesque and we invite all you kids, young and old, to come and join us for the ride!
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. Eleven, twelve, make Cinélunatique tickets fly off the shelves! (at least it rhymes!)
