It looks absolutely crap. The trailer started off alright, then got progressively worse. It looks like some glossy Harry Potter film. Yet another film that will cause to me angrily correct people, by constantly saying "no, not the remake, I mean the original." I hate Michael Bay.  :hatred:

If there was ever a reason to protest over a remake, perhaps now is the time.  I mean seriously, they show 4 or 5 things that basically happen in the original (glove in the bath, girl levitating above the bed).  Did they slap one coat of paint on it and call it a day?

This will do well though. Because people are idiots when they group together, thus resulting in sequels.  :bluesad:

I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I'm really, really tired of all these remakes, doesn't a glimmer of originality exist anymore? These don't even like tributes.

I am not a fan of the series in anyway and this movie will change nothing.  I do admit that it seems to have a bit a spooky atmosphere, but everything else doesn't really appeal to me.  I especially didn't like Freddy's voice, wasn't creepy enough.

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

Bah. I was also not much of a fan of the original, especially when Freedy started becoming the comic relief. I was more into the silent killers like Jason and MM when I was younger. However, making a Nightmare flick without Robert Englund is just wrong. I have absolutely no desire to see this movie.  :thumbdown:

It looks like they focused more on making it a blockbuster rather than a horror film.  That's one thing that troubles me about a lot of Hollywood horror these days.  I get the feeling I'm going to see an action flick with the action replaced with "disturbing" imagery. 

I don't know about this one.  When I heard Jackie Earl Haley was going to be Freddy, I thought it wouldn't be too bad, but seeing Michael Bay's name on it... Meh...

That's what we all say. But curiosity always gets the better of us.

You just have to know how bad it is.

I'm not really a fan of Elm Street movies, I only own the 1st one. However, the remakes these days are terrible & pointless of course.

But I know there will be people stupid enough to waste money on this sh*t & it'll be #1 at the Box Office just like the other recent terrible remakes of Halloween & Friday The 13th.  :thumbdown:

Agree with the negative comments to a degree.  I am always game to see if a 'remake' is quality (usually not) so I give the movie an even chance.  Honestly, when can you really trust a trailer to acurately give you an idea as to how good a movie will be??

The scenes such as the the glove in the tub, HAVE to be put in to 'hook' us older gals and gents to go see it...somehow trying to bring us back to when we saw the original.

Some remakes stand on their own.  I KNOW I will be bombarded with my next comment...Halloween(R.Zombie version) was very well done and viseral (in my HUMBLE opinion), however I have read many many comments otherwise by my fellow hardened horror fans.

We will just have to wait and see with NOES...

I agree, I liked RZs Halloween, Haven't seen the second though.

I am a huge Nightmare fan and the new makeup will take some getting used to but I am looking forward to this(even though Micheal Bay is involved :bouncegiggle: ).
