Rated R
My Rating: 3 out of 5 claws
Expectation: I expected this movie to suck a little. Most remakes are not so good. Critics were tearing this one up before it hit theaters. The previews made this movie look darker than the original. First, I was upset. Then, I was curious. I wasn't expecting much. I just hoped to be entertained.
Date Watched: April 30, 2010
Review: I liked this better than I thought I would. I was afraid of it being too much like the original or too far from it. It is safe to say that this was a different expression on the same story. It was dark, but not quite as gory as I expected. I was disappointed in the lack of creativity the original Freddie had oodles of. But, I liked it well enough. Very loud at times in the theater. A few jumpy scenes. Watch it with a date.
Who would I recommend this movie to? I would recommend this to horror fans that aren't afraid of a remake. Imagine the same story with a different storyteller.
Would I watch this movie again? Eh. Maybe or not. It was good, but I don't feel a reason to watch it again.
* This movie gets an Arbie Award for Stripiest Sweater in a Sequel
