It’s pretty hard to accept that some of your favourite movies are going to be remade by a Hollywood shitout of ideas and lacking a set of balls. Sometimes it’s even harder to accept that the “rebooters” may have done a decent job.
Hot on the tail of Rob Zombie’s not to awful stab at the first 2 Halloween remakes, comes Samuel Bayer’s stab, or slash, at the ultimate kiddie killer flick, A Nightmare on Elm Street.
There’ll be no Robert Englund, which means that there’s likely to be none of the famous Freddy humour on show. They’ve cast Watchmen’s Jackie Earle Haley as Kruger for what is supposed to be a “reimagining”, but from the trailer looks pretty close to a reshoot. Haley, (who actually auditioned for Johnny Depp’s role as Glen in the original) looks the part, possibly even creepier than Englund’s turn as Freddy, but there’s something missing. Freddy may have been a child slayer, but at least he had character!
Other than that, it doesn’t look too bad. What do you think?
