NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

This week's movie is going to actually give me nightmares.  Not because Nightmare on Elm Street was that scary but because it sucked that much.  Once again our favorite burned up bad guy with the ugly green and red sweater is back.  Well, kind of.  Robert Englund is NOT Freddy.  The guy who was in the terrible Watchmen movie that played Rorschach played him and used the same Watchmen voice.  Once again Freddy is haunting the dreams of high school kids whose parents taught him a lesson a long long time ago.  Here's the problem I had with the movie.  In the original Freddy was a child killer, in this one he's more of a sexual predator.  Which really grosses me out.  Freddy was the one bad guy from the movies that sometimes you wanted to root for espeically taking on puke kids.  But now you have to root for the good guys in the movie to kill the pedophile.  Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooo much for fucking up a GREAT horror movie.  Sure the last few Elm streets weren't the best movies in the world but I would rather see Freddy taking on Jaws while he was on a spaceship than have to see another one of these remade Freddy movies.  I not only HATED this movie, I FUCKING HATED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
