#4 Nightmare On Elm Street

The second film of the drive-in night was the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street. This film also was pretty bad. Being that it starred the guy in the photo above who played John Connor in "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" I was really hoping that the Freddy Krueger that came to kill him in his dreams would be a Terminator with blades on his hand. That would have been pretty sweet.
Other key items about this film:
1) Have the cast seemed to be rejects from the Twilight series
2) both this film and The Losers (the other half of the double-feature) had members of the film The Watchmen
3)Film lacked Terminators
4)Film lacked gratuitous nudity (no one knows how to make a horror film anymore
5)Johnny Depp did not cameo

#3 The Losers

Well this movie is dumb. However it was made better by the fact that it was seen as a part of a double-feature at the Drive-In. It's hard to ask for more in a drive in film. It was loud and things exploded. I guess all it was missing was out-of-place gratuitous nudity.

#2 Shutter Island

I am way behind on this. I actually saw this quite a while ago. All in all it wa sa decent film. I was a little confused why 1) it was promoted as a horror/ghost movie, and 2) why it was never mentioned that it was based on a novel by Dennis LeHane. The latter would have been enough for me to see it. I love his novels, and previous films made from his books (Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone) were big successes.
The film had some good twists and turns, but to veteran film goers weren't big surprises. However the acting and filming were great. It's certainly worth checking out.
