I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. Sydney is a pretty likable protagonist, I think a lot of it really works, and the two killer twist is good (also agree that the two tropey guys being the killers is a plus). For some reason, that garage door death really got to me the first time - not sure why, it was just particularly brutal to me.
A few years back I watched this one for the first time and had a lot of fun with it. I didn't find it the least bit scary, but spent most of it just laughing my ass off. Particularly the sequence where Freddy is dragging his claws along two opposite walls, and they just made his arms look like stretched-out accordions. The dream stuff was a fun idea though, and I definitely get why someone would find it scary back when it came out (or if I'd seen it when I was younger).
I'm someone who outright dislikes this movie. Maybe I'd have felt differently if it hadn't been built up so much to me, but watching it I was just grossed out, not scared. I love horror movies, and gore doesn't tend to bother me too much, but basically none of this movie worked for me.
Tippi Headren did get actual live birds thrown at her during some of those sequences (and evidently some of those scratches are real). Alfred Hitchcock was not a great guy, unfortunately.
For me some of the most horrifying sequences of this movie were: When the boy was turning into a scarecrow (him trying to scream while his mouth was filling up with straw was...gah!), and when the monster in the Red Room finally cornered Auggie. The Jangly Man was very scary as well, and honestly I really liked the ending too.
Ooh, thanks. Definitely want to check these out.

It's hard to say which I liked better, though I do agree more Kyoko definitely pushes the Uo episodes a bit ahead. They're both great though, and in these I really loved how supportive Hana-chan's family was.
I cannot even compute with that logic. One of the things I was most looking forward to in this anime was how the manga fleshes out all the characters.
