A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Movie Review | Local Movie Review

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Movie Review Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

There is a bloody tradition in the street of Elm. Once you hit puberty, consider your poor self to be the latest target of a burnt pedophile named Fred. Yup, Freddy Krueger is back. And this time, he might have throat cancer, but with a long list of teenagers to kill, I’m sure that’s the least of his worries.

Having seen so many movies of its kind, I have reason to believe that teens are the favorite choice of heroes in slasher films because (1) they are dumb as rocks and (2) they don’t require deep characterization and heavy dialogue. The writers of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” may have applied this thought a little too much.
