Actor Max Thieriot talked about the plot and tone of the new Wes Craven movie, '25/8' and whether this may be return to Freddy Krueger territory for Craven.

"A little bit," Thieriot told them. "It's kind of different though. We have one week left but he hired a completely new crew this time, so that was really different for him, because he usually stuck to the same DP and a lot of the same people.
Completely new crew, but it's a little bit like Freddy Krueger-ish, but it's more like a thriller than horror. I feel Nightmare on Elm Street is cool because it's very smart. It's not just killing. It has a whole back story and this craziness going on, and I think 25/8 has that, too. It's basically about this kid and his life and when he's born, his dad was a serial killer who had multiple personalities and basically, as people start dying in the movie, I start getting multiple personalities, too, because I inherited it from my dad. It's kind of like this crazy plot but the whole time, people are just switching in and out of personalities. You're not really sure who's killing who and it's very cool

I like the sound of it I have to say.

..if done right it could be really good

It's a twist on the usual serial killer scenario........I like the whole multiple personalities storyline so we're never exactly sure which personality is the killer........it could be very good, with lots of twists and turns

Yep I agree babe and if anyone can make a success out of this it is Craven...who although has had some red herrings as also had some great horrors to his name too like Elm St and Scream which were great for their times.
