31 Days of Horror Movie 22

A Nightmare on Elm Street remake
2010
Starz airing

I am not one of those horror fans that automatically hates every remake. I have actually enjoyed most of the modern remakes. This film broke that streak.

I had made the 3 hour drive to the coast. To visit family and friends. Plus I wanted to see this movie in a good theater. After leaving the theater I was pissed. The film was horrible. The only good thing was Jackie Earle Haley. And even then he wasn't that good. The acting was wooden. The FX work was mostly CGI and looked horrible. And the plot was very boring.

This is basically the same film as the original. But with a few small changes. In this one Freddy worked at some school. And you find out he sexually molested some kids. That is why the parents burned him alive. the only other change is for about half of the film you are lead to believe maybe he didn't do it. But it turns out he did.

Now I own every other Nightmare on Elm Street film. This one I have never bought. Maybe if I found the DVD for $5 I might pick it up. But $5 is still too much for this piece of shit.

A Nightmare on Elm Street Remake gets a F-.
