Since I was little I grew up watching all the old Freddie movies. This version was ok, had the scare and the gore, but for me it just wasn't the same. NO ONE can replace Robert Englund as Freddie in my eyes. Although this one really looked more like and actual burn victim. And I wasn't as convinced since this one was also just as short as the teenagers he was killing, just was'nt menacing enough! But as a horror flick on it's own (forgetting the originals) it was good!
