Following in the footsteps of Halloween and Friday the 13th, we soon got to see Freddy Krueger be remade and updated for today's audience.
This remake keeps a lot of the old scenes from the original film, though delivers them in a new way and sometimes with a small twist to make it it's own. I had thought for sure that like Halloween, and Friday the 13th, that this one would also have a prologue of sorts. It did in it's own way, but nowhere near as lengthy as the former two.
The characters are fairly close to the first film, it's actually been a while since I've seen it so I can't really recall who's who. However. I do know that this time around Freddy is.....different. In some ways they improved him, largely dialogue wise and with his story. However they also dropped the ball on him visually, mostly in the face area. He's so....smooth on one side. The cover art actually makes him look scarier than in the movie itself.
In the end it's a pretty good remake, especially when compared to others *coughs* The Fog *coughs* Yet it still has areas which could have been improved upon. Definately worth a watch if you are a horor fan.
