A Nightmare On Elm Street - First teaser online

I'm quite happy for these films to be continually be remade and refranchised, I still enjoy them for what they are. Cheesy, entertaining gore flicks. You know exactly what your gonna get with them and I still love watching them! Saying that the Halloween remakes are crap, thanks Rob Zombie.

Looking forward to this, will probably wait for BR though. I like to properly laugh and joke about the stupid deaths lol.
 
Just got back from this...it's not amazing by any means...however it's a fairly decent remake. A bit overboard with the pedo stuff in this one though.

As for the person who made a comment about the CGI hand in the bath...looked like a real hand to me...didn't come across like CGI at all.

There was something really weird about the way it looked with the bubbles; almost as if the perspective was wrong, or something. The hand didn't appear to be in the same depth of field. If not CGI, then something's very wrong there!

Check the trailer on youtube - its clearly real.

If you watch the original series you'll find that the "pedo stuff" is fully implied.
All they have done in the remake is make it very obvious why the parents killed him.

I'm afraid to say it but the reason for that will be the general intelligence of some cinema goers these days.
When the originals were made it was quite easy for our generation to see what he'd done and why the parents had acted the way they had.
In the remake they appeal to the lowest common denominator, so they have to spell it out so nobody gets confused.

Saying that, the sequence where he does get killed wasn't too bad and left you wondering if maybe he had been wrongly accused.

I've watched the originals many times and in the sequels the paedophile aspect is clearly implied. However it's left a little ambiguous in the original movie whether he is a child murderer or molester.

One thing I did like...in my sick little mind...is how freddy says to nancy he's made sure she stays awake so long so that when eventually does fall asleep she'll never wake up. Almost in the sense he can abuse her over and over without killing her and she can never wake from it as she'll be so sleep deprived she falls into a coma.
