Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) by Tylerl — 02 May 2010
Not bad, for a horror remake. Got REALLY excited for this after Friday the 13th. That being said, here I go. Acting: people were ok. Couple cringe worth lines/ moments of acting. But all in all it was acceptable.
NOBODY stands out from the victim side though. JEH SHOULD have stolen the show. The bits you see of him are pretty good. Not amazing, but pretty damn good. If he was given enough screen time to develop maybe he wouldve been considered great.
But there wasnt enough of him to judge whether or not he was great or not. Plot: Pretty generic. Teens try to servive supernatural being that the adults refuse to acknowledge despite blatant evidence ( ie one victim gets pretty much ripped apart in a jail cell infront of a fellow prisoner AND a security camera.
) Honestly. I wouldnt say im dissapointed. I got what I came for. But for what it couldve been its not quite up to the level that I think the FT13th remake was. Also. Why did they turn Kruger into Vorhees.
What separated Kruger from the other killers is that his kills were VERY over the top with themes and ironic twists. In this one, people get stabbed to death. and from what I can remember, there was only 1 quip.
I also find it disapointing how an attempt at referecing two kills from the original NOES movie result in two people dying in the SAME way as the original characters. Very unoriginal. Pretty much, not anywhear enough ties to the original.
and where there is, it feels copied, rather than referenced. Id recomend seeing it. But dont expect a classic.
