Standard slasher flick low on creativity
Three, four, but it's something to abhor,
Five, six, you should not mess with the classics,
Seven, eight, Michael Bay's movies are dead weight,
Nine, ten, don't watch horror remakes again."

" A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 2010 American supernatural slasher film directed by Samuel Bayer (in his feature directorial debut), written by Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer, and starring Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker, and Kellan Lutz. Produced by Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes, it is a remake of Wes Craven's 1984 film of the same name, as well as the ninth overall installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. The film brings back hor"
Not the worst remake, but still pointless...
“I wasn't expecting the remake to Nightmare on Elm Street to be as good as the classic original, but I was expecting a decent enough film. As a remake and on its own terms, this Nightmare on Elm Street is a mess. Is it the worst remake out there? Not quite, Psycho and Wicker Man were worse. But it is among the most pointless, at least to me. This time round, the story is over-simplistic, the characters shallow and dull and the script jumbled. And apart from one, the acting is terrible, especially from Kyle Gallner. The editing in general could've been tighter while the effects lack clarity and distract from the atmosphere rather than enhance it. Speaking of the atmosphere, it seemed bland here, the nail-biting suspense and build ups seem very subdued and I don't think I remember being shock” read more
" 5 confirmed deaths 3 male 2 female Running time: 95 mins. Number of kills: 5 Kills per minute: 19 mins Freddy’s final dream: Sliced in half. Favourite death? Kim Flowes, who died the same way as Tina. Coolest death: Dean, who had his throat slashed. Lamest death: Freddy Krueger, oddly enough. Because as a human, he burned to death, and it was done before. Survivors: Nancy Holbrook and Quentin Smith Note: This was the final A Nightmare on Elm Street film, solo or otherwise. For now."
"Rated. R Why it’s rated: Gore, Graphic violence, profanity, and nudity."

"4.2. HBO Todella ruma ja tylsä remake on juurikin sellainen, kuin mielikuva turhista remakeista on. Tunnelmaa ei käytännössä ole. On vain äänekkäitä ääniä ja hyppypelottelua, joihin myös oletettu jännite täysin perustuu. Ja rumaa CGI:tä sekä oksennusfiltteriä. Oli joku semionnistunut veriroiskekin jossain. Teknisellä puolella osoittaa valtavaa kyvyttömyyttä elokuvakerrontaan. Esimerkiksi kohtauksessa, jossa kaksi hahmoa halaavat niin pitkään, kuin ihmiset yleensä halaava"
“You can't even fairly call the 2010 remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" a divisive film. It is, in fact, largely hated or just outright purposely forgotten about in the horror community. When it does crop up in conversation it is mostly referred to with tones of derision or dismissiveness before the subject is promptly changed but are things really all as bad as everyone would have you think? As usual, no. Don't get me wrong, the remake is far from a perfect film. It is hobbled by a variety of issues that are worthy of criticism. More often than not these are hyperfocused on in reviews and much of its strengths are cast aside.
Nostalgia is a son of a bitch, I've found and, in the case of a Freddy movie, any self-respecting horror fan will tell you that no one can be Freddy sav” read more

“I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Rooney Mara and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though apparently everybody pretty much hated the damned thing when it was released, to be honest, I thought it was actually not bad at all. At least, it was watchable which is rather unique for a modern horror remake delivered by Platinum Dunes. One of the biggest critics about this movie was the fact that it was way too similar to the original version but it didn’t bother me, in the contrary, I thought that it was rather faithful and the mood was decent enough. I also enjoyed the fact that they kept focusing on one character who would turn out to be Freddy’s next victim. It was actually pretty neat because, as” read more
