Horror fans right now we are currently living in a world where almost every single horror icon that we can think of either has or is about to have a horror remake. Heck even Chucky who was the last hold out for this trend has a remake and so then join me as I review the film that is so bad that it's put it's franchise on ice for a whopping twelve years with the film in question being called simply just "A Nightmare On Elm Street" enjoy.
The plot of this film is Nancy and her friends find themselves being attacked by a serial killer that kills teenagers in their dreams. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad simply because all it is is a retread of the 1984 original only with all of the soul sucked out of it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Rooney Mara as Nancy Holbrook and Jackie Earle Haley as Fred "Freddy" Krueger. Also starring in this film is Kyle Gallner as Quentin Smith , Katie Cassidy as Kris Fowles , Thomas Dekker as Jesse Braun , Kellan Lutz as Dean Russell , Clancy Brown as Alan Smith , Connie Britton as Dr. Gwen Holbrook , Lia Mortensen as Nora Fowles , Kurt Naebig as Mr. Russell , Jennifer Robers as Mrs. Russell and Christian Stolte as Mr. Braun.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this films cast doing their absolutely best to make this films terrible script however this films script gives these actors and actress nothing to work with in terms of their characters personalities and because of that the performances can't be anything more then OK in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the CGI for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Method Studios , Pixomondo and Digiscope. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad with this films CGI being incredibly dated even all the way back in 2010 and not to mention just very unneeded and very unnecessary as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This film is alot more bothered with included half hearted remakes of classic scenes form the 1984 original then it is in telling an actually good story. Since alot of this film is just coping the original film beat for beat and when it's not coping the original film beat for beat it's remaking classic scenes only there done so badly that they come of less of being homages to the original and more as reminders that you could be watching a much better film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
With this film being a remake it does of course remake all of the classic characters from the first film however it does at least change up the names for these characters. However this film makes all of these characters boring with the most boring character being Nancy herself and this is something that shouldn't be the case at all since she's Freddy's arch rival and so she should be the least boring character but nope the makers of this film chose to make her a really dull and boring character and that really does hurt this film quite alot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
The one thing that this film really shouldn't have done and that's turns Freddy Krueger into a you know what. I'm not going to say what it is here but if you've seen this film then you'll know exactly what i'm talking abut and this is a change that I really didn't like since it's a change that really isn't needed at all because it adds nothing to his character and it's a change that was done just for the sake of making a change and not because they were going to do something with that story thread in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this films exact grand total running time even was I do know that for a fact that this film has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty one minuets. Which I will admit is a point into this films favour since the film does have some really good pacing however I would have liked it if this film was a tad bit longer just so they could then flesh out it's characters a bit more which would have worked very well into this films favour in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then since this is a slasher film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this film are in all honesty really good. With this films kills being the best part of this film for the most part in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film is a terrible film and a terrible and a rather pointless remake and because I love this franchise I won this film on DVD but a bad film will always be a bad film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because of the fact Google Images actually has alot of images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always freaking do with our one and true freaking goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.
