Natty Knocks Trailer: Robert Englund Joins Forces with a Bone-Chilling New Beast – Prepare for a Terrifying Thrill Ride!

Robert Englund, known for his iconic role as Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street, stars in the new trailer for Natty Knocks. The horror film reunites Englund with his Phantom of the Opera director, Dwight H. Little. Englund, a veteran character actor with a career dating back to the 1970s, recently received recognition with the retrospective documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story. Despite it being twenty years since his last portrayal of Freddy Krueger, Englund remains active in the horror genre and embraces his status as the successor to horror legends Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee, and Vincent Price. Natty Knocks marks Englund's latest venture into horror, with Little once again taking the helm as director. The film has just released its first trailer, as reported by Bloody Disgusting.

As observed in the video, Englund's role in this movie as a psychiatrist of one of the young characters does not require him to wear any prosthetic makeup. However, while Englund does not unleash any mayhem in Natty Knocks, the trailer vividly portrays a gruesome and bloody film that draws clear inspiration from 1980s horror.

Natty Knocks Features Several Famous Horror Figures

Natty Knocks is a thrilling tale of survival, where a small-town babysitter and the children under her care find themselves in a deadly struggle against a notorious serial killer named Abner Honeywell. The movie's connection to the Halloween franchise is not a coincidence, as Natty Knocks director Little has previously directed a film in that iconic series - Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, released in 1988. However, the Halloween connection goes even deeper in Natty Knocks, as it features the talented Danielle Harris, who starred in Halloween 4. Joining Harris in the cast is Bill Moseley, a familiar face to hardcore horror enthusiasts, known for his role as Chop Top in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, among other notable horror performances.

The familiarity of the plot in Natty Knocks, similar to many other horror films, may not be a deterrent for fans as it features renowned horror actors such as Englund, Harris, and Moseley. Englund enthusiasts, in particular, might be intrigued by the opportunity to witness his reunion with Phantom director Little, who previously collaborated with Englund on the television series Freddy's Nightmares. Natty Knocks is set to be released on July 21, 2023.
