A Nightmare On Elm Street

It's so much better than what I expected. Making
Freddy look more like an actual burn victim is a
good idea, even though the execution certainly
could be improved upon in the next installment.
Also, as far as horror antagonists go, Freddy's
character is demanding (much more so than your
typical Michael Myers / Jason Voorhees style
monsters, for example). So while Haley is no
Robert Englund, he was pretty damn scary, and
deserves credit for that.
The "teens"
in the movie were bad, but I expect that from
literally every slasher movie I sit down and
watch. It doesn't matter when they are being
ripped to shreds by a psychopath like Freddy. But
that's the remake's biggest shortfall: while the
new Freddy is scary enough, I wasn't satisfied
with the carnage level. I want to see Krueger
explode Kyle Gallner's head a la Carlos (that
scene gave me nightmares as a kid).
5/10
A prequel with Englund in it
would be so awesome:
