Horst in Translation ([email protected]) This is an 8-minute short film written and directed by the very prolific Chris R. Notarile. It includes Freddy Krueger as the main character, but also several other very popular scary guys from famous horror movies. Quite a challenger for Freddy to stand up to all of them will he succeed? In any case this is not the end, even if the title says otherwise. Notarile made a couple more short films in the last 5 years and many of them included Freddy Krueger, mostly in his life before turning into a super-villain. I personally am not the greatest horror film fan or Freddy Krueger fan under the sun, but I still had a good time watching it and I can see why some people consider Notarile a hero in terms of fan-made movies. All in all, a good watch. Thumbs up.

BrandonsNDP Most Fan-films are very bore and lacks creative control; however, Chris and his creative mind combine all of the best and most iconic legends of horror into one short. Let's start off with the story itself. This is a great continuation from the first part which, in my opinion should have been all one movie instead of two a part series. The story continues directly right where the first part ends. The idea of having Jason, Michael and Leatherface working as Pinheads drones is great since all other those icons have there own personality and adding Pinhead as the leader of hell is a brilliant idea in of itself. With the acting to all the icons, I find the Freddy character, should have talked less and gave more action to his character. With him being the only icon that has a mouth and can speak, he should have talked a little less. On to Pinhead (actor), in my option, should have darker vocals since he is like the devil in a character made for horror films. The Directing, staging and blocking are pretty good when it comes to this part; furthermore, in my option, the first part might have been better in staging and blocking when it comes to having multiple characters on screen. For the settings; however, are very unique. I love the idea when Freddy gets knocked into the characters locations are great to see. During the Friday the 13th settings, has the best setting out of all three of them since the heavy rain gives it an eerie atmosphere to work with. My less favorite has to be the Leatherface settings only because it looks to unrealistic and does not really look like a Texas landscape. Whereas Jason and Mikes settings can really be any place that looks like the Myers house or a camp really. All in All i gave this fan-film 7 out of 10 because of the acting, settings and comparison of part 1 to part 2. The concept and story are great but without believable settings, they do not work well, in my option.

scottgeiter First thing I want to say chris Notarile has the talent And he does it again what a brilliant short I absolutey Love it you have ( Freddy ) ( Michael ) ( Jason ) and ( Leatherface ) Last but not least ( Pinhead ) picture them all in the same room Enough said now Roberto Lombardi had a major task To play Freddy with his style well guess what he nailed it Fantastic job Jason was brilliant , Michael myers brilliant , leatherface brilliant , pinhead was brilliant and yes even the voice of pinhead was brilliant All in all a must see and a surprise at the end So go ahead take a look gruesome won't steer you wrong Grab some popcorn and let it rip Fun , fun , fun

DDPhilly For an early effort made at the start of his career in 2004, Chris R. Notarile managed to make an enjoyable, interesting and well made short film called "The Nightmare Ends on Halloween". The fact that it was shot on home video is further proof of how good it was and showed promise of the talented filmmaker that Notarile would become.The only drawback to the original film was that, at that time, a suitable pool of good actors wasn't available to Mr. Notarile.Fast forward seven years and the sequel "The Nightmare Ends on Halloween II" not only outshines, but buries the first film. The evidence is the fact that the ending of the original film has been completely re shot for Part II and then leads directly into the battle! Compare the two versions of this scene. It's obvious Part II is far superior! The first thing you notice is how professional everything is. Superior lighting, camera work, editing and direction. The story is less talk and all action from the start! Action fans will love the fight scenes and horror fans will appreciate Notarile's attention to detail both in characters and story.Regarding the acting - OMG what an improvement! Hector De La Rosa, Anthony Palmisano, Josh Rothman and Jerry Todisco don't even have dialogue, but they totally nail the essence of Jason, Michael and Leatherface. Kevin Lennon completely embodies Pinhead (with fantastic Pinhead voice by Notarile) and Roberto Lombardi is absolutely perfect as Freddy Krueger! Lombardi plays Freddy more as a homage instead of flat out copying Robert Englund, while portraying the character his way! This film and "Krueger (A Tale from Elm Street) are proof that Notarile and Lombardi can handle this material and the fans seem to agree!
