Wow..While staying true the the basic and (obvious) elements that MAKE Freddy Krueger LIKE THE GLOVE AND THE INFAMOUS SWEATER the writers and director clearly went for a darker and more disturbing story which changes the very essence of the character like when Freddy shouts ( what do you think I did ? I didn't do anything!) Possibly suggesting that he was an innocent man wrongfully killed and through the kids dreams he seeks his revenge rather than being a guilty child murderer continuing his craft in the dreams of children. Will this remake float above the recent fails? or will drop like an anchor? All we can do is wait and be satisfied until judgment day comes April 30th 2010.
