A Nightmare on Elm Street [2010] (DVD) Reviews

I didn't expect much from a remake of the infamous Nightmare On Elm Street but was interested to watch it regardless. As expected, I didn't think much of it, despite hearing that it was, as remakes go, not too bad. I thought it lacked the edge and authenticity that gave the original its creepy atmosphere, where the modern 'effects' only ...  Read the complete review

So through his Platinum Dunes production company, he and his minions have taken other peoples horror films and re-made them. So in recent years ...  Read the complete review

This one's in cinemas at the moment. This is a strange film to remake. Previous successful remakes have been of films that not that many people have actually seen. Texas Chainsaw, Hills Have Eyes or Dawn of the Dead are well known names, but how many American teens will have seen them? But Nightmare on Elm Street? Come on - ...  Read the complete review
