A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)
4/10
I'm sorry but I just can't with this movie, not when better horror remakes/reboots with an insane amount of attention to detail put into them, like Halloween (2018) exist and are worth your while.
Jackie Earle Haley is, admittedly, a good Freddy and played the role well with what he was given in my opinion, and Quentin was a fun character. That's about where the positives end and the rest of my experience with this abhorrent entry begins.
First of all, the movie looks drab, there are shots where I couldn't even tell what I was looking at. Second, the kills are pretty lacking in creativity (the one big reason you watch slashers and something Nightmare 2010 fails at), something I originally didn't like about the first movie either, but at least that one had actual good practical effects and memorable set pieces/scenes.
It's a shame since the realistic approach to Freddy's backstory is something I would have loved to see explored in much more detail.
I could sum it up with one word : mid.
