Typical Horror not Epic as it could have been, its 2010....make the movie rich and emotionally driven and then scare the crap out of us. This was way to technical, thus took away from the psychological fear factor. The movie started making you jump to soon and the characters need more development. Freddy is more than a slasher that appears in your dream he is a FEAR that causes you not to sleep (the movie only discussed it). The movie all happened to fast (like a text message) it was dry and lacked the "unique intensity" in Freddy Kruger. I did'nt dig the dry face of Freddy either (personal). Ending was so fast that it was almost in one scene. True Freddy fans will support, new fans will never get the Epic status of a Icon who plays with the psychie of millions of Gen X'ers right before they go to sleep!!! B or 3 starrs.
