So here we have it. Freddy is the last of the remakes from all the major 80’s horror icons. Yes, yes, I know I know….another remake. Will they ever stop with these? Doubtful.
Anyway, they’ve released a trailer for the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” remake. I like the first shots of the parents chasing down Freddy into the abandoned warehouse. I’m also digging the shots of Freddy’s silhoutte in the boiler room. But other than that, I’m not too impressed. The shot in the bathtub is identical to Craven’s original. Are we going to have another remake that carbon copies every scene? With Jackie Earle Haley there is some potential. But I’ll tell you one thing…I’m definitely not digging Freddy’s burnt face. He looks like a cross between Cronenberg’s mask from “Nightbreed” and a cute doll a child might have.
