Everyones_A_Critic Successful on Almost Every Level, and Thrilling 'till the End

    In the months leading up to the release of the 2010 version of Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street, the question running through most people's minds has been simple: Why? Why remake the classic slasher film from 1984 that was beaten to death by ceaseless sequels and a ...

Daemon A Poorly Constructed Nightmare

    Title - Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Director - Samuel Bayer Country - United States Trailer Spoilers ahoy as it were although honestly I'm not sure anyone would care nor do I feel it would do all that much to increase or decrease your relative enjoyment of the ...

Mistress_Redhead One Two Freddys..... well not Freddy!

Remakes, you either love em or you hate em. They have their place, a way to drawn in a new class of viewer, granted a class that ignores the talent of the original work and thinks that the newer version is canon but still… a class of sorts. I for ...

SeanVC A True Nightmare

  On the night of May 7, after months of hype, posters, and trailers, I finally sat down to watch the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.   With legendary music video director Samuel Bayer at the helm and starring cult favorite Jackie Earle Haley, most were able to ...

markh117 Stick with the original

Nightmare on Elm Street A remake of the seminal Wes Craven film from the 80’s that spawned so many bad sequels, but the original remains one of the best horror films ever made.  The story follows Freddy Krueger (Jackie Earle Haley) a burnt man in a stripy jumper and a ...

arrowfan237 Great flick

The perfect way to reinvent Freddy for today's youth. I have always loved how this man can reinvent the greta horror movies and make them into something I could relate to. They had the perfect man to play Freddy and it was all around just a great flick. You should ...

MasterPr0phet Decent Remake

  Surprisingly good remake, or rather, "re-imagining" of the 1984 horror classic. Jackie Earle Haley does a fine job here stepping into the role of Robert Englund, and although Englund will always have a place in my heart for making that role what it is, Haley is good on his ...

Rourkey Honestly? Better than I expected.

At some point last year it suddenly clicked in my head that i really enjoy classic horror movies. I don't know what it was that triggered it but all of a sudden i had a huge craving to watch all these films that i had completely missed out on. So i bought ...

kariyanine Film Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

It is funny for me, a lifelong horror fan, to think that there are people out there who consider themselves fans of the horror genre but have never experienced Freddy Krueger but it is true. There is an entire generation of horror fans that have never seen A Nightmare on ...

When I write this review, I'll be coming at it as a casual fan of Nightmare on Elm Street. When I say a casual fan, I mean someone who's  a horror fan and has seen the original Nightmare on Elm Street and enjoyed it, but none of the sequels (although I've seen ...

EpicSteve Krueger is scary again, but does the same trick.

The original Nightmare on Elm Street is one of my all-time favorite movies. Freddy's evil and witty personality was a breath of fresh air from the mute Myers and Voorhees. Remakes like Amityville Horror, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13 have mixed feelings among the horror community. I thought ...

wubzu Review from a newcomer to the series.

THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW BEWARE!!! So I've never seen a full Nightmare On Elm Street movie, only really seen parts of them (probably because of my age, 16) and just my lack of an interest in seeing them.  What made me want to see this remake is ...

Shaunage I have seen worse movies this year...

Of course by 'worse movies' I mean that I have seen Cop Out.  I must admit to only having seen New Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason before watching this. I don't have the background to recognise how close this is to the original and am only vaguely familiar with Freddy ...
