Still Shaking

I couldn't believe that a grown man like myself couldn't get to sleep last night after watching this. I loved this movie so much and liked the spin/style it took to seperate it from the bad horror movies. Hopefully it will be put with classics like Poltergiest and The Exorcist.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Jump in your seat

This remake definately had jump in your seat moments making Freddy more of the boogie man type character that made him famous compared to the typical one-dimensional movie killers. This Freddy had layers and the story unfolded like a mystery than the original with its clever use of flash-backs. Although it could have been scarier and I would like a word with the casting director as some of the main teens were flat out awful. Although it stayed true to the original Nightmare, this version strayed off just enough to make it successful in its own view and show the many layers of Freddy and the dreaming process. Jackie Earley Hayley was haunting in this version and made a NEW Freddy for the next generation. I do however think they went a bit overboard with the make-up around his eyes and could have given him more flexibility in the face to show more anger. I think Katie Cassidy is a great scream queen in the making especially compared to the rest of the cast that put me to sleep. All in all, I was entertained and surprised in it as it wasn't identical to the original.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
