I love the poster its very cool and I just happened to find the pics on Bloodydisgusting.com and I dont know what it is but im not happy with what I can make out from it

Hmm, I find movies like Nightmare in elmstreet, scream, .. Are horror movies from a different time, horror these days is different, and I don't wanna see remakes of classics as these.

Well there is not gonna be a remake of Scream, just to clear thatup. But, as for NOES, I was strongly doubtful at first, but I'm very curious now. I really am kinda anxious to see this now.

This.

Hollywood does need to calm down a bit on the remakes. I'm starting to turn into one of those old fogies who keep saying how Hollywood has destroyed certain films by remaking them. But truth be told, i'm starting to understand how they feel. It's just getting too much now. I still think that the creativity of films in general are getting stronger and stonger when they are not being remade, but if the big wigs forgot about their purses for a sec then maybe 90% instead of 50 of the films that come out will be original.

As bad as this will probably be, I am mildly curious to see what Haley can do with the role...

Oh, I'm curious too now, but I wasn't hoping for a remake

With Haley in the lead role...I don't think it will be bad. I had my doubts cause it wasn't Robert Englund. But after seeing him in makeup.....he looks freakin awesome!!! He's signeed on for two more Nightmare sequels after this one if this is a success, and I have no doubt it will be.

I wouldn't put Scream and Nightmare on Elm Street in the same horror category...

And as for the Nightmare remake: I am skeptical. I won't totally dismiss it, but I am skeptical.

That is how I feel about the new Freddy movie Mischievous im hopeing it will be as awesome as the original movies but I dont know if it will be. Maybe if they cast Robert Englund I would be feeling differently towards it

I do..

The problem isn't necessarily with the casting with Haley, he seems like a decent choice and i'm sure he'll be fine..but it's the fact that they are remaking a great film that came out in 1984.

I agree that there is no need to remake this but im interested in seeing it but im reserverd about the movie butit will be interresting to see it.

I'm sorry, but the whole "Freddy may or may not be the Springwood slasher" thing is bastardizing the character. You can't turn Freddy Krueger, the embodiment of pure evil, into a sympathetic victim who's gruesome crusade against Elm Street's teen's is so rightfully justified.

I loved Freddy where he really was the Springwood Slasher. He just showed when insanity became insane.
