Wes Craven is green-lit to to direct “25/8,” a thriller not horror film like his “Nightmare on Elm Street.”
Craven wrote the script. His first original script since 1994 film, “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.”
Craven told Daily Variety that “25/8″ is more of a thriller movie than a slasher movie. The story evolves around a young kid with a very dark past and his family. Craven introduces a signature villain.  A serial killer purportedly died 15 years ago. Comes back to kill seven kids who were born that fateful night.
I know Craven says this is a thriller, but sound like a horror flick to me. Perhaps, I scare easily.
Production starts in April.

A sort of undead serial killer who attacks teenagers. Sounds a lot like Freddy Kruger.

Yeah. I know what you mean. I guess, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Thriller or not, let’s just hope it’s not PG-13 like Red Eye!

Yes, I am sure it will be R-rated because even though Craven says “Thriller,” it sounds “horror” a bit.
