Well, I just checked out the trailer for the new A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, and I already hate it. Showing once again that Hollywood has no original ideas anymore, they are taking this classic horror film and making it more, “modern”. Here it is, if you haven’t seen it yet.
That might not be bad if it wasn’t A Nightmare on Elm Street, but for such an epic movie series that was a huge part of my childhood, I am disappointed. What is my biggest complaint?
Where is Robert England?! – I might sound like an irrational fan boy, but you can’t have Freddy Krueger without Robert England. Want proof? Just look at the side by side comparison:
The new Freddy looks more like the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, than a scary movie villain.
The only thing that would be more sacrilegious would be if you had an Evil Dead movie, without Bruce Campbell playing the role of Ash.
Now, I could mention the fact that Michael Bay has something to do with this (what, is Freddy going to blow people up with multiple pointless explosions?) but I think I hit the nail on the head with my biggest complaint, thus far.
Thank you Hollywood for taking a childhood memory, and ruining it yet again.
