Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) by Aaronm — 04 May 2010
Don't go see in theatres and don't even bother to rent this one. There is nothing refreshing about this new Nightmare on Elm Street. Creators need to realize the joy of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies is the nightmares themselves and the characters own beliefs that they can defeat Freddy at his own game.
Instead, this movie goes the "I have amnesia" route and tries to set up Nightmare on Elm Street as a mystery that everyone already knows the answers to! What a waste! And Jackie Earle Haley plays Freddy the same way throughout the entire movie - very disappointing - and the movie just seems distant.
Distant to its audience, distant to its fans, and even fans with amnesia are left with nothing to appreciate with this remake.
