A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET REVIEW: A New, New Nightmare?
Posted on 30 July 2010 by Abidoon
YourGeekNews.com for more! Jackie Earle Haley dons Englund’s signature fedora, claws and stylish Christmas sweater to terrorize the dreams of the sexy teenagers of Elm Street. The only problem is that this Nightmare reboot seems more pre-occupied with being a shot-for-shot remake of Wes Craven’s original than it is at just being a good scary movie. The result is a bit bland, leaving us wondering if this movie is made for people who LOVE the original so much they’ll watch any Freddy? Or is it for people who have no idea how scary Freddy should be?
If people stop paying for this kind of crap, they’ll stop making it.
When is hollywood gonna learn that remakes suck. go see the orignal. Don’t bother with remakes.
I wanna see it, just to see it, im a fan of the originals n horror. Must say im dissapointed to hear a lot of it is shot-for-shot remake. Bit of a cop out, keep the bits you like, loose the ones you don’t, then change the story. But hey, if it makes some money, we might see a sequel that might take it a new fun direction. Its a credit to the legend of Freddy Krueger and that he is in the realms of Dracula n Frankenstein!
