This movie is pretty good, but it's not the best Wes Craven movie ever. The story is very new and smart. The acting is pretty decent. The direction is memorable and Wes Craven is great, as always. The visuals are realistic.... Full review

Freddy Krueger is one of the best horror villians in movie history. He kills teenagers in their dreams, because their parents burned him alive. Wes Craven is one of the masters of horror and no one could have played 'Freddy' better... Full review

The reason the older movies failed miserabely was there was way too much comedy and campiness in them.....the director of the new Freddie has the good sense to not repeat the past....turn him into the same old tired Freddie, running around in the dark, spewing un-funny lame one-liner jokes..... ...

However, one stands out from the rest for it's unique storyline taken from real life events and it's compelling cast.....Craven got the idea for his film from newspaper articles from his childhood about studies involving refugees who refused to sleep due to their nightmares.....The film does a great job of exploring that line between dreams and reality....A Nightmare On Elm Street broke this trend by featuring strong characters who were all allowed to grow and change as the film evolved..... ...

In an attempt to appease fans of the original, fellow exec Brad Fuller insists that they are going with a more serious horror tone similar to the original movie, rather than the wisecracking almost self-parody the later movies ended up becoming. If your gonna make your money raping movie history instead of coming up with fresh new ideas at least have the balls to be honest about it. ... Full Review
