Uses weak scare tactic, "person walks into quiet setting, Freddy jumps out". Rent on DVD if you're in the mood.
Great movie!
the movie doesn't take itself seriously, allowing for some excellent laughs and some atmospheric moments without all the trouble of a logical plot
A cool remake of the original, a spin of a different type of nightmare. Freddie is back for a round of fun and mayham.
Not my cup of tea, but some viewers may enjoy it.
Very interesting story.
Doesn't live up to the original at all! There is little to no character development which made me not feel for any of the victims…not even Nancy. I thought Nancy seemed more like a side part than one of the main parts. Freddy's new look is disapointing however I suppose more realistic. Overall, if you are a horror buff like me and love the original, check it out just for the sake of checking it out and giving it your own thoughts.
It was kind of boring not something I would see again.
don't mess with a classic!
Not bad. Much better than the original in my opinion, what with how it was actually able to make me jump a few times. The one-liners Freddy has are hilarious. It had some gory bits, and a few moments that didnt really make sense - but thats quite common in any horror movie these days. Its your traditional horror movie cast. And overall it wasnt amazing or anything, but it was good enough to watch (maybe even more than once) What did this movie teach me? Apparently, your brain is still awake and functioning for up to 7 minutes after your heart stops. I wonder if thats true.
