Rivals The Hitcher for the worst Platinum Dunes remake.

This one is meh ... but Rooney Mara was really good in it.

I agree it's not as good as Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre but I still enjoyed it.  Haley is a good Freddy but obviously no one will replace Englund.

I thought she was really horrible here. Vapid and unable to convey emotion.

Atrocious, lifeless, soulless, greatest hits compilations garbage. Though I've come to expect nothing else from PD. A rare breed of terrible. A lot of Nightmare movies suck but they were at least watchable, this is just deplorable.

This was a huge let down.  One of the worst horror reboots I've seen. I would honestly say it's worse than Rob Zombie's Halloween, although miles better than Rob's Halloween 2. I want Robert Englund back as Freddy please.

It takes a bit too long for Jessica to get killed ...

Yeah I didn't really like this one too much.  I found it weird that even some of the effects seemed worse than the original.  They took away any "specialness" of some of the original kills and just made them bland.

 

Haley was fine and i wouldn't mind seeing him as Freddy again, but the movie just was not creepy or scary.  It was dumbed down to just bad jump scares.

I was disappointed with this. Rooney Mara was terrible as the lead. She gave me nothing. Katie Cassidy should have been the lead.

Coming from someone who didn't watch the original, this remake was just terrible

[RobinHood26]

Fucking Terrible

a decent reboot but nothing special. I guess for people who experienced the original will always miss Englund. There is only 1 Freddy....though Haley did a pretty decent job.

Not as horrible as people say IMO. Haley is genuinely good

I liked it the first time I watched it. Probably because, visually, it's really stunning. But I watched it again yesterday on Blu-ray and, even though I still admire its visuals, the movie is just not entertaining. I respect the filmmakers for what they tried to do, but it didn't work.
