Horror movies - 35 years of remakes - (52 movies items)

" Directed by: Samuel Bayer With: Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Kellan Lutz, Clancy Brown Was the original - A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - worth a look? Even though I'm not really a fan, I still thoroughly enjoyed it and it is a must see for any decent horror fan (Hell.... I even have a box-set with the first 7 movies!). Will I ever watch this remake? Even if Jackie Earle Haley was actually a pretty cool choice to portray Freddy, a part from that, I still t"

50 Most Hated Movies Ever Made (51 movies items)

"The Movie: Michael Bay-produced remake of the Wes Craven classic, with Jackie Earle Haley donning Robert Englund's razor-blade gloves. Why It Was Hated: The very words 'Michael Bay horror remake' can trigger a Pavlovian response amongst fanboys, but this one scored worse than most for ditching the dark humour of Englund's portrayal for a dour, brutal reimaging.

My Top 20 Horror Movies (20 movies items)

" I've never seen the original (can't wait to) but this remake I'm sure is alot better. Chucking out the cartoonish Freddy we know from the classics and replacing him with an even freakier dude was a wise choice, but I REALLY love the new backstory.

Remakes that sucked (46 movies items)

"For starters, Robert Englund IS Freddy Krueger. I have great respect for Jackie Erle Haley as a character actor but his portrayal of Freddy lacks the charm, the witt and yes the unique brand of caustic dark humor that the original Freddy had. And again this is a case of a good story ruined by the missuse of special effects. "
