Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) by Titusprime — 08 Feb 2011

I am actually very surprised by the mainstream critique of this film. Especially from the critic that also gave it its highest score. His single 3 word statement tells me he didnt watch it, or really wasn't in the mood and shouldnt have watched it.

I grew up during the Jason and Freddie era. I was terrified as a child and amused as a teenager. The first movie I ever went to at night without my parents and instead with my friends was Friday the 13th part 3 in 3-d.

So I believe I understand the attachment and fondness our generation has for these films very well. With that said I thought that Jackie Earle Haley brought depth to Freddie that was hair raising.

It gave me the shivers and I was scared all over again. So dont believe the critics just because they gave an opinion. Take my advice and be confident that you wont be wasting your time with this film.

Then form your own opinion.
