Is this the worst remake of all time?
Like, what happened here? A remake to be given such a huge budget and near quality cast squanders it to produce quite possibly the worst remake of all time?
- Freddy wasn't scary, and what were they thinking with that horrible voice? He didn't even look terrifying given all the CGI effects we have now vs the 80s. Englund was unsettling and sadistic, this new Freddy is just tormented and a pedophile. Yawn
- None of the characters were likeable or developed. A bunch of random teenagers get killed. Yawn
- Why did they feel the need to recreate deaths from the original frame by frame? And again, they didn't even do them justice, they ended up looking like cheap imitations (and given their budget, they weren't...) All it did was serve as a reminder that the original did it so much better, despite being made 30 years before. Yawn
Terrible, terrible movie.
