Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) by Zman6495 — 21 Jul 2013
No. The remake is not as good as the original movie. However, I did still enjoy it. Haley's performance as Krueger is by far the best part of this remake. The other actors, while they didn't strike me as really bad, seemed boring in comparison to the original.
The most notable being Nancy, who in the original was strong and very well-developed, where as here she is kind of boring and not really the main focus until 30-40 minutes into the movie. A lot of the classic scenes are re-imagined here, but almost all of them lack the appeal that they had in the original.
One thing that does need to be mentioned is the ridiculous amount of jump scares. There are over 30 jump scares in a 90 minute movie. Where as some of them are well done, it feels stale after the first few times.
Overall, if you really like Freddy and you want to see him in action, check this movie out. Otherwise, stick with the original.
