This is a pretty movie. Its apparent from the start, that this remake of the 1984 classic, has a pretty good sized budget to work with. In fact the budget for this incarnation was $35 Million according to Wikipedia. The budget for the Wes Craven original, $1.8 Million. You don't always get a better movie if your budget is huge, look at Avatar. You just get a really pretty movie that looks polished and has flawless special effects. Again, see Avat… read the rest.

The filmmakers decided to take a risky creative decision by reinterpreting Wes Craven's original ideas and retelling the story with a much more realistic tone.
The dream sequences are more symboli…

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) earns a solid **7/10**. While it inevitably lives in the shadow of Wes Craven's 1984 original, this reboot succeeds by leaning into a much darker, meaner tone that respects the grim nature of its premise. Jackie Earle Haley steps into the role of Freddy Krueger with a menacing, gravelly intensity, shedding the campy wisecracks of the later sequels in favor of a genuinely unsettling child-killer vibe. The film boas… read the rest.
