This remake of “A Nightmare On Elm Street” definitely keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. While it topped box offices all weekend, Freddy fans around the world have reunited to see if this remake matches up to the original.
Many years ago, there was a janitor named Freddy Krueger, who was very fond of a group of children. When the children’s parents discovered slashes and wounds on their children, they quickly blamed Freddy. After locking him in an abandoned building, the parents burned the building down, hoping to be rid of Freddy forever.
What they didn’t realize was that Freddy would be back to make sure the children never forgot him and to finish what he had started. The children are now in high school, and they all have one thing in common. They keep having dreams with a burned man and sharp claws who tries to kill them.
They slowly come to realize that when Freddy kills them in their dreams, Freddy kills them in real life, too. The battle to stay awake begins, and the children must dig in Freddy’s past to figure out who he was, what he wants and how to stop him.
While the original movie portrayed Freddy as a scarier and more in-depth character, the remake succeeds in creating a horror plot that scares its audience. People were constantly jumping out of their seats due to all the twists and suspense, and many audience members screamed during startling moments.
Freddy’s face is vivid enough to stay fresh on the mind for days, and the clinking of his claws together is horrifying enough to cause goose bumps. This movie is definitely worth seeing.
