DVD Review "NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (Remake)" Score C- 70%

This rather laughable remake of what was the beginning of a horror series is not worth the stock it was filmed on. Trying to remake a movie that was already good for the purposes of rebooting a series with nothing but intentions of trying to cash in on today's youth is not a good idea. I don't understand the business decisions some hollywood companies make these days. Rather than seek out new talent with new ideas (for horror movies) they rehash ideas from 20 years ago. The re-casting of Freddy was not needed, Robert Englund would have done a much better job than Jackie Earl Haley (who is a good actor but here fails). The Voice was comical, the filming and storyline rehashed was just boring for the most part. Where during its time, the original was frightening, this one falls short of any real scares or uneasiness. Skip this one and go rent the original.
