A Nightmare on Elm Street Reviews

This Elm Street reeks of a rushed cash-grab, as even the most reliable of clichéd shocks fail to register on the fright-o-meter.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

This flimsy remake is a nightmare and unworthy of your time.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.0/5

Many people have already made the mistake of holding this film up to the original, expecting it to be just as good, but it just isn't. However, taken on its own, it's still an entertaining horror film and an interesting take on the material.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

An homage to Craven's vision that is believably earnest in execution and completely faithful in spirit.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Mara and Gallner make an attractive couple on the lam and Haley, as Freddy Krueger, hams it up to an almost alarming degree.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Haley offers a darker, meaner take on the iconic character.

Full Review | Original Score: C

I did jump a few times, and I liked Haley's dour malevolence, but overall, the new Nightmare on Elm Street is a by-the-numbers bad dream.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

There's really no reason to see this dreadful picture; better to rent the 1984 feature.

Full Review | Original Score: D

Freddy's back -- and he's slicker and more sinister than ever.

Full Review | Original Score: B

For fans of the Nightmare franchise, and slasher films in general, the new version does exactly what you want and not much more.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

This is even less inspired and imaginative than the Friday The 13th reboot and makes Rob Zombie's Halloween films feel like the work of an auteur.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5

For a film about the dangers of falling asleep it tried damn hard to make the audience nod off.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Like many horror fans, I approached viewing the recent remake of the post-slasher classic with extremely low expectations. Not low enough, though!

Full Review | Original Score: 1/10

...it has nothing new to say and works with an original that didn't need remaking.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10

Ultimately, the remake plays out more like the parade of increasingly daft sequels that milked the last drop of blood out of the Krueger franchise.

Haley just ain't no Englund, no matter how much he tries.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

In this outing, however, Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer's screenplay pulls no punches about Freddy's vicious sadism and paedophilia and, seriously, there's no fun in that.

Lo%u0161e odra%u0111ena indigo-kopija originala, od strane ne ba%u0161 iskusnog videospota%u0161a Samuela Bayera

Full Review | Original Score: 2/10

An expectedly worthless horror-movie remake from Michael Bay's production company...
