Just okay

Horror today, can't do what horror did in the past. Trying to remake classics, and trying to put their own perspectives in the movies. Nightmare on Elm Street is the next to get a remake. With a good pick of Freddy I was a little intrigued, but not quite.

We all know the story, don't fall alseep, or Freddy will get you. Well they keep it the same, but it rarely develops until the end. For half the movie, kids are just dying, of course we knew that would happen, but there was no story, just kids dying, I don't want to see that unless there's some story behind it. The screenplay was very very weak, almost made the actors look back.

Which brings me to the acting. I liked Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy, he is a very underatted actor. He did a great job, selling the almost corny screenplay, for Freddy at least. Rooney Mara almost saved the movie for me. Finall seeing her in a lead role, was nice. She was really good, and is becoming one of my favorites, I can't wait to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. The supporters were decent, usually most of these have terrible acting, there were some decent parts.

So we got another remake, that just wasn't that great at all. It wasn't all of a terrible movie, but it had so much potentional to be a decent film.
