Nightmare on Elm Street Movie review

Nightmare on Elm Street Movie review



Cast: Rooney Mara, Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner
Direction: Samuel Bayer
Genre: Horror/ Slasher


A college going group of friends are stalked and killed by a man (Freddy) who has a burnt disfigured face and knives as fingers only in their dreams! What seems surreal in the beginning seems like an ugly truth later on as one by one Freddy begins his killing spree. The youngsters can only survive provided they don’t sleep!

A remake of the old horror film by the same name, Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) pretty much has all the ingredients intact, needed in the making of a decent horror film. Samuel Bayer manages to grip you with fear every time Freddy appears on screen as he speaks in a frightening voice and then scratches his metallic knife-fingers into walls and then his human victims. The sound effects, dark picturisation and mystery involved too keep you on the edge of your seat.

However the film somewhere seems formulaic in its treatment after a while and there is where lies its fault. The killings become predictable after a while and the suspense quotient keeps dropping as the film progresses.

I know what you did last summer, The Ring are way better films in this genre, although Nightmare on Elm Street is not an unintentional horror comedy like The Final Destination either.

If you swear by horror slasher films and don’t mind seeing another conventional film of the genre, this one’s a decent one time watch.
