    I was never a fan of this franchise. I thought the first movie was a bit more clever than the slasher films being mass produced at the time, but it degraded quickly to meet the standard of all slasher series.

    Personally, I don't mind a remake here and there. Some movies were made before their time and tend to benefit from being redone. This particular peice of crap isn't an example of that, but hey....

    First clear look at Frederick's face. It's a toy, but you get the idea. Sideshow makes amazingly accurate sculpts....

    It's probably true dude. With the gargantuan finacial investment movie studios make in these films they are looking to maximize their profit any way they can. The Pg-13 rating lets the movie be accessable to a wider audience therefore, more money.

    He doesn't really look menancing. Let's hope Freddy is a nasty basturd in this remake or its doomed to fail.

    Well, imo, what made freddy stand out from all the other psychos of his time is that he had personality. He wasn't just this silent guy in a mask (Jason, Myers) going around and hacking people up. Not for nothing but he could be really funny at times and that is a dimension the others just don't have.

    Here's to hoping they don't screw it up too badly.

    Bleh. I heard they were going to go with a more realistic () look, as in what a burn victim would actually look like. I want Kruger to look like Kruger please.

    I'm not a huge fan of the series, but he looks like Kruger to me. Striped shirt, fucked up face, hat, and glove. I would say it looks like him...

    Yeah & no...it's the eyes & the nose & the mouth.



    Realize it's not a huge difference, & they got all the other aspects right, but I just don't like it

    Yeah, but didn't Englund's Kruger also change from movie to movie?

    I'll put it this way....at least the essentials are there. It could be worse. They could've done something as drastic as changing shambling zombies to runners in a remake of Dawn of the Dead.

    A bit. They played with the make up a little but it stayed essentially the same.

    True. It's just a bit jarring. Maybe it'll look better on screen or grow on me or something. Just the initial impression that struck me was "bleh".

    I can understand that. Maybe the performance will make up for it. Haley is a great actor, so i bet he's got something up his sleeve to bring to the table.
