A Nightmare on Elm Street

The classic horror movie, "A Nightmare on Elm Street", was recently re-done to a more modern movie. This movie has been a huge topic and it has been the spur of many conversations lately. The producers brought back a horror movie from a couple years back to a more new and improved movie. This movie is about a group of teenagers who are all stalked by Freddie Krueger. They all try to protect eachother and keep eachother safe.
Many people enjoyed the movie, but others thought that the originial movie was much better. "More 'inspired' by the 1984 classic than a straight carbon copy, this Nightmare makes the material its own and as a result becomes one of 2010's most unexpected delights," wrote Bill Bibron in a movie review. He liked the movie because he loves horrors, and he thought that it was great! He thinks that the movie is good for teens who want to get scared. He said that the it was one of the few re-imaged movies that actually succeeded. On the other hand, Michael Rechtshaffen wrote "...the back-to-the-beginning approach unimaginatively goes through the motions, offering scant justification for its boring existence, at least from an artistic point of view." He wasn't fund of the movie because he simply thought that a great movie like this could not have been re-made.
In the movie, there is a girl named Nancy that keeps having scary dreams about a man named Freddie Krueger. Her boyfriend got attacked and many of her friends got attacked and killed, so she was left with very little people. She tells her mom how she has been having scary dreams about meeting this man and him coming after her. Nancy began to do research about how her and all of her friends were related because they were all dying at the same time. Her mom told her that they all went to preschool together and there was a gardener named Fred Krueger. He hurt Nancy and all of her friends. Her mom tells her that Nancy was Fred's favorite, but Nancy didn't believe her and proeeded to find info about Krueger. He found out that she has been trying to get information abou thim and he started to try to find her and kill her too. He stalked her and tried murdering her, and that is as far as I am going to to go because otherwise I will ruin the end. I saw this movie with one of my friends and I personally liked it. I didn't watch much of it because I was too scared and was covering my eyes. In general the movie was very well done. I couldn't tell you whether or not I liked the first one better because I have never seen it. I'm sure it was better because it was the original.
