Remember how great Nightmare on Elm Street? Remember the mystery of Freddy and how the reveal turned out to be rather creepy? Remember all the creepy special effects that, while limited, managed to make the movie even scarier. Well, thanks to the remake done 由 Michael Bay, we can throw all those out the window, because I got for 你 all, not a Nightmare on Elm 街, 街道 classic, but the 2010 remake of the same name, and let me tell you, it sure is a scary movie… For completely different reasons.



Now, while Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 wasn’t really a good movie, it at least had SOMETHING worth salvaging. But, I’m sure there’s something good to be found in this movie, right- No…. No, nothing at all. This movie has nothing to salvage. Everything is bad. So the movie follows a young girl named Nancy, who starts to have dreams of a man with a burnt face, a fedora, and a striped sweater…. It’s obviously Freddy Kruger. I could talk about Freddy but, don’t worry. I’ll get to him in a bit. Anyway, people start dying, and Nancy and the gang have to go on a mystery hunt to stop the evil Freddy and tell him “Stop it”. That sounds pretty silly the way I described it. The remake doesn’t do it any better. The reason why I think the characters in the first movie were 更多 believable than the ones in this one, is probably because (Besides the fact that back then, they had this thing called 表演 talent), is because they were 更多 believable than the ones here. And why… Well…



Alright, so I would put “Spoilers” here, but since I don’t want anyone to watch this movie. So, the characters in this movie all went to the same preschool, like some sort of Tiny Toons bullshit. Oh, and not only did they all go to the same preschool together, but they all went to the same preschool that had a gardner, who just so happened to be Freddy Krueger… I am not making this up, people. This is what they put into the movie. And guess what… It gets SO much worse. So, Nancy was always Kruger’s 最喜爱的 child, which is why she was the only one who didn’t die. Maybe if she was killed, it would save us this movie. As it turns out, Freddy has killed the entire population of children in Springwood. And I mean every last child. Freddy just so happened to kill every last kid in the entire town of Springwood, and yet, no one noticed unless preschooler Nancy just told them. Yeah, that makes sense. The movie also tries to describe how Freddy was killed with no evidence, making 你 think he was just murdered like some wild animal because of this, to make 你 feel sorry for him. Yeah, feel sorry for a crazy child killer 斯莱什 possibly molester. Why not?



Okay, let’s talk about Freddy in this movie. For the beginning of the movie, they tried to keep Freddy’s face hidden… 密码 is “tried”. But, when they gave us a full, easy-to-see reveal… Oh my god… How do I describe it… Well, pretty easily. It’s stupid… awful… a complete disappointment (Not that this movie wasn’t disappointing already), and just a complete waste of time. Freddy’s face reveal is just… awful. This is what 你 wanted a burn victim serial killer to look like? This!? He looks like a kindergartner trying to make one of the Close Encounters of the Third Kind aliens with Playdough. This just looks awful. Also, they tried WAY too hard to make Freddy serious, when that isn’t his character at all. Freddy was a villain who was scary because of the enjoyment he got out of killing. That is what made him scary, but also gave him a sense of black humor. Here, there is no humor… 或者 effort into his character.



Lastly, there’s the special effects. 你 either have gallons and gallons of blood that look like they aren’t actually part of the human body, 或者 你 have a bunch of poorly done CGI that just looks bad. Like the scene where Freddy appears through the wall. In the original, they used velcro to make Freddy 移动 through the wall. It looked 更多 realistic, 更多 effective, and was probably way 更多 cheaper to make. Here, they just use CGI that looks like it was rejected even 由 1970’s B movie standards. It just looks so bad. But the blood isn’t any better. Just like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003, this movie tries to make there be so much blood, in an attempt to make it scary. I’ve 说 before that blood and gore isn’t scary. Mortal Kombat has blood and gore, and that game is actually kinda silly when 你 look at it. Here, the movie is just trying to be bloodier than Sunday. I’ve heard that there was going to be some neat effects on Freddy though. They wanted him to look like a real burn victim instead of…. A blind mind’s recreation of the Cloverfield monster. However, the thing is, the creator’s of the film thought that Freddy would look too scary, so they just scrapped it…. It was too scary for… a horror film…. I want to just swear up a storm right now but… This movie is just so bad, I don’t even have the energy to do so.



What 更多 can do 你 want from me? This movie sucks! It sucks so bad! It gets nothing right from the original, and the things that could have been done right, they completely scrapped it and just made a worse decision. There is nothing redeemable about this movie. It’s all just bad. It’s 安全 to say that I think we may have found the worst movie of October Movie Marathon, and it’s just a badly done remake. There are good horror movie remakes. There are many good remakes. The Fly, The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Nosferatu, The Crazies, Evil Dead. There can be effort put into a remake… This is not one of them. Take care
