Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) by Robertobrien — 06 Aug 2015

Drink every time there's a plot hole, lazy jumpscare and an actor giving a 1-note performance, and by the 45 minute mark, you'll be proper haggard.

This sure did give me nightmares. Nightmares about how they could've done so much with this story, thanks to modern technology, but did nothing with it. I was at least expecting to be impressed with the dream sequences, but even that was uninteresting. The lack of inspiration and creativity leaves me dumbfounded. The script and actors seem so bored with themselves, and it certainly transcends onto the audience.

I would rather sit in a theatre for 95 minutes, leaning over with my mouth wide open, drooling onto the floor to see how much saliva would pile up. A much more interesting event than watching this excuse for a horror film.

If your movie's only saving grace is an actress from Gossip Girl, you know your movie is a huge waste of thought. This is only getting a 2 because of Katie Cassidy, and high production values. Well made, terribly written.
