When I was 7 years old, there was a Nightmare on Elm Street marathon being played on T.V. once. I swear, I had to sleep with the lights on for weeks but it was one of my favs growing up as a kid. I just hope that the guy who played Rorschach does as good as a job as Robert Englund.

i totally agree with you!! i've seen most of Freddy movies, and robert englund was thee original freddy!!! hands down! im Might go see it!!

I am an 80s child. This movie was done well for back then and does not need to be " remade" or anything else. I just don't think so. This is getting out of hand with all these remakes of movies. Come On! I can understand remaking cartoons, or tv shows into movies, and i love when they successfully make movies from books. Some stuff.. you just don't need to do anything else too.. Really, you just don't. I'll take my Robert Englund Freddy any day. Freddy was sadistic and we liked him that way thanks.

I think they're trying to make Freddy a hero, cause his original back story was that he was a child molester and the town burned him alive. He was such an evil SOB that he came back to terrorize children again.
The beginning of this trailer kinda makes him into a victim making his killing into a revenge-thing. I don't really like that, cause Freddy isn't really anti-hero, he's a villain! He's supposed to be EVIL.
It also really doesn't help that the kids in this movie aren't as charismatic as Heather Lagenkamp or Johnny Depp, but those are really hard shoes to fill.

Understand what things make nightmares scary.....it's the loss of control, the feeling of helplessness, knowing that something is going to happen and not being able to change it. In the original nightmare, I remember a scene where Freddy was following someone down an alley or something. Forgive as I'm going strictly from memory.....I haven't seen it in literally 20 years. Anyway the shot showed Freddy walking in the middle of the alley pursuing his victim. On initial thought, it made you think "Well I could just run around this guy if I get cornered" But in the next scene, Freddy's in the same position casually sauntering towards the camera however his arms have elongated to a point where he could touch the fence on either side, scraping his nails along as he went . Now why was that scary?? First off that notion you had that you'd be able to run around this guy. Nah Uh. Not gonna happen. Also then the fact of his freakishly long arms and his casual manner kinda made ya feel you were DOOMED. And that was even one of the more memorable scenes. Study what invokes fear. And the others are right, the voice was half the scare. Also when using CGI have the effects sell the scene not the other way around. We can know do so much with it, directors are using it as a broad brush when just a little pencilling would do. Example: Drag Me to Hell... the fly on (in) the sleeping girl scene.....just creepy
