For the past couple of years, we've been given many, many remakes of popular horror movies.You have "Halloween", "Friday the 13th", "The Wolf man", and now we have upcoming remakes such as "Child's Play" and "Alien".Now we have what we knew what was going to happen.If "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" could be remade, why not "A Nightmare on Elm Street"? There are many good things to enjoy here.The acting is surprisingly very good.Trust me when I say that you don't have to worry about bad acting by some of the characters.That's another pro.Almost every character in this movie kept me interested.The death scenes really keep the effectiveness afloat.It's much bloodier and violent than the other Krueger movies, so brace yourself.My number one reason why I loved this movie was Freddy.I know Robert Englund was excellent as Freddy, but Jackie Earl Haley really steals the show from every character in the entire movie.He portrays Freddy as more of a disturbed and disturbing character then Robert portrayed him as a scary villain that could also be a little funny.Alright, I've been reading some very negative reviews by users on IMDb and even from film critics like Roger Ebert, who gave it a one star rating.This was not a guilty pleasure for me.I am not ashamed that I sincerely enjoyed this movie for the new Springwood slasher and inventive death scenes.If there's any remake out there to see, this is one of them.
