NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010)
2 out of 5 stars

“you’re in my world now, bitch.” – nancy

OK, next time i decided to give these remakes a chance, someone please slap me or something? jackie earle haley did the iconic role of crazy serial killer of the dream realm, freddy kreuger, some justice as “creeper of the year”, but rooney mara (whom i can’t seem to understand a word she is saying), kate cassidy (david cassidy’s daughter!), and kellan lutz (emmett cullen from twilight!) just don’t cut it... hehe, pardon the pun. :P

so, as you know by now, freddy kreuger is this badly burned boogie man with the razor hands, attacking these poor teenagers in their dreams... this time, the movie starts with a guy named dean (kellan lutz), who dozes off in a town diner, only to fall victim to crazy freddy in his sleep! all of his friends start to talk at his funeral, and as it turns out, nancy (rooney mara), dean, kris (katie cassidy), jesse (the guy from terminator: sarah connor chronicles), quentin (reed garrett from CSI: NY), are all having dreams about freddy killing them in their sleep. kris starts to wig out at school and even at home, and she even has her ex-BF jesse stay with her. BIG mistake because after freddy slices her up in the dream world, jesse looks like he killed her... little do the police know that freddy is killing all the kids of elm st. because of what their parents did to him. extra points for giving freddy a little character depth with the whole child molester angle. but then...lost points for the shitty ending. :/ (EYE-ROLLINGLY BAD)

since when did this become a law & order: SVU reunion? :P i feel like almost all of these kids were on that show as guest stars with the exception of kellan lutz b/c he’s too busy with the twilight movies. (maybe he’ll guest star when those are over...) jackie earle haley did a great job as kreuger, but i have to say... robert englund AKA the ORIGINAL freddy will always be the one that will scare me shitless. :P
