About this movie

Nancy, Kris, Quentin, Jesse and Dean all live on Elm Street. At night, they're all having the same dream--of the same man, wearing a tattered red and green striped sweater, a beaten fedora half-concealing a disfigured face and a gardener's glove with knives for fingers. And they're all hearing the same frightening voice...One by one, he terrorizes them within the curved walls of their dreams, where the rules are his, and the only way out is to wake up. But when one of their number dies a violent death, they soon realize that what happens in their dreams happens for real, and the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. Functioning on little to no sleep, the four surviving friends struggle to understand why them, why now, and what their parents aren't telling them. Buried in their past is a debt that has just come due, and to save themselves, they will have to plunge themselves into the mind of the most twisted nightmare of all... Freddy Krueger.

I walked out of the theater without finishing the movie. For 1 Freddy is not a child molester. For 2 its no wonder Wes Craven didn't have anything to do with this movie. It was awful and any true die hard Freddy fan would agree with me. He didn't even look like Freddy. Worst remake ever I give it -500 stars! For those of you who agree with him being a sick baby rapist you're just as sick as the one who came up with the idea. Never in any of the original Freddy films did they ever say he molested the kids.

It is a great remake, as it gives you a fresh story with some classic scenes. The complaints I have are that the scene with Freddy coming through the wall, paying homage to the first movie, looked crappier than the original. I especially like the redesigning and casting of the new Freddy. Both are astounding, as they made the makeup look like how an actual burn victim looks. Jackie Haley was an amazing choice as Krueger, besides the late Robert Englund. Overall a good reeboot.

Doesn't even compare to the 1984 original of Wes Craven's A Nightmare On Elm Street. The young actors did fine, but Jackie Earle Haley's Freddy Krueger was terrible. Robert Englund did a much better job that goes without saying. If you're going to make a reproduction of a movie then do it you don't have to rewrite the whole thing. I would minus stars if I could.
