What? That was still a thing in 2010?
So this is the 2010 er reboot of the series? I watched all the previous movies last year, but didn’t do this one, because I didn’t know that it existed.
Since it didn’t lead to the franchise taking off again, I’m guessing it bombed? So my expectations are high!
Whoho!
This is gonna be awesome.
This guy has the same makeup artist at the president after the next one in the US.
Well, these digital effects just aren’t as scary are the original practical ones…
Hey! That’s not whatsisname Englund!
Instead of being scary it’s more like “oh this again? really?”
Oh, this is made by a production company specialising in doing uninspired remakes?
Oh, that’s grim. But then they got a hit with The Purge and then A Quiet Place.
OH NO
That’s a nice nightmare library. It’s a kind of confusing movie — it generally looks pretty good, but it seems like it doesn’t have any energy or enthusiasm?
Yeah, it had a pretty solid budget (and didn’t lose money!?).
Allegedly making this was such a miserable experience that Rooney Mara almost quit acting.
So in this version, the parents killed Freddie just on a vague suspicion? That sucks. I mean, Freddie being eeeevil is the whole fun of these movies.
Oh, now people can be having “micronaps” while being seemingly awake so that Freddie can appear at any moment, whether they’re awake or not? That kinda fucks up the logic even further. When it’s just randomness it’s just *rolls eyes*.
The guy playing Freddie is giving like zero percent. He’s barely delivering his lines (and those lines suck). It’s like he’s trying to make sure that he’s never going to have to get that makeup done ever again.
I was bored out of my skull watching this, so it’s really a ⚀ movie. But I did like the sets and the general look? So let’s go with:
A Nightmare On Elm Street. Samuel Bayer. 2010. ⚁
