A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) 7/10

Starring : Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy
Director : Samuel Bayer
Running Time : 96 mins

A number of young people in the Elm Street area have been having the same nightmare about a hideously burned man with a glove covered in razor sharp knives, so when teenagers start to drop like flies, teen Nancy Holbrook (Mara) starts to suspect that perhaps there is more to the dreams than first meets the eye.

Although nowhere near as good as the originals, this is a reasonable remake of the 80s classic. Sadly the attempt to double bluff the viewer by, at one stage, trying to make Krueger more of a sympathetic character only leds to point out how similar this movie is to the original.
