A Nightmare On Elm Street

The remake. The useless Michael Bay produces yet another iconic horror remake with his Platinum Dunes company. The teaser trailer has been released as of a few hours ago. It's coming April 2010.

Freddy's voice is absolutely awful and so is his look. He looks like Gunter Von Hagen. They should have stuck with Robert Englund; there's only one Krueger.

Frankly it looks much better than the original, which may have been good at the time but is a crockful of the brown stuff for anyone watching it now. Horror fanboys and movie buffs won't like it because they don't like anything that isn't poorly made and 30 years old but personally I can't see how they could possibly make it worse than the original

Another example of the MTV generation.

Never really cared for this film tbh. However will watch the original tonight if I get bored.

Another example of the MTV generation.

Is that an attempt to belittle my opinion? I certainly do apologise for wanting to watch a film that looks good

[Misawa]

No, it shows that you that you are part of the MTV generation of flashy editing and short attention spans, rather than storytelling.

[FlyingJesus]

A keen interest in aesthetics has nothing to with a short attention span or a dislike for the story. Your view kind of reminds me of Dawson Leery (from Dawson's Creek) who immediately gets offensive and judgemental when someone disagrees with his film taste. You can hardly generalise my entire taste by a comment on one old film

[Misawa]

It's not my taste, it's yours. Part of the group who like the shallowness of remakes.

[FlyingJesus]

You're entirely right, I often go about searching for remakes of old films just to comment on how they're better than the originals simply for the looks. My original post actually suggested that I'd prefer this one simply because the old one was so terrible, so your comments (where you clearly know me better than I know myself) are entirely void and based on assumptions.

Thanks for backing up my point Dawson

The original A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most famous horror films of all time. You can't call a film "terrible" just because you didn't like it - it's as idiotic as when you said that just because you don't like Jaws, that it is a "badly made" film. There's a wide difference between disliking a film and stating that it's badly made. For someone who doesn't know film, Jaws is one of the easiest examples to show of a well made film, because it is completely obvious to Joe Average. Your attempt to say that it is a badly made film is buried under an unprecident amount of things, such as Academy Awards, top 10 film lists, and ITV's fourth most watched broadcast in history, to name just a few.
