The Big Picture No one expects slasher villains to be upstanding citizens. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Sawyer family? Cannibals. Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees? Violent proponents for the idea that "bad behavior" warrants punishment. Along similar lines, Wes Craven originally envisioned A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger as a child molester as well as a child murderer. According to the book Screams & Nightmares: The Films of Wes Craven by Brian J.

‘Freddy vs. Jason’ Misses the Franchise’s Nuance Close No one can deem Freddy Krueger a feminist icon after The Bathtub Scene in the first A Nightmare on Elm Street. Or when he taunts “I’m your boyfriend now, Nancy,” and turns Nancy's landline phone into a licking tongue. Combine this canonical moment with Wes Craven's original intent, and it's murky ground. Nevertheless, this is where the behavior of a serial killer troll diverges from active, concentrated misogyny.
‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ Isn’t Perfect, but It’s Progressive Close The Freddy and Lori scenario in Freddy vs. Jason isn't even a mildly creative dream. Pull the dialogue, and just from the setting and cinematography angles, it's staged to evoke rape. He keeps her pinned to a wooden floor while he slices her skin. As she's crying and bleeding, the camera framing emphasizes her half-covered breasts while Freddy leers above them.
Even when other women replace Nancy as the protagonist, her spirit lives on. Young girls are almost unanimously responsible for defeating Freddy, and with flair — whether that's martial arts or mental ingenuity. Out of A Nightmare on Elm Street's many virtues, this was my clarion call. It's cathartic for Lori to behead Freddy at the end of Freddy vs. Jason, but we didn't need to be here in the first place.
