Editorial
I figured this would be an entertaining remake if nothing else, I was wrong. Dead wrong. There was a much richer mysterious element to the original film and to my surprise, much more creative. The biggest question is of course is, which Freddy Krueger is the greater actor, new Freddy ( Jackie Haley) or the original Freddy ( Robert Englund)? Robert Englund brought us a believably creepy and demented sadistic killer where Jackie looked and acted like a pedophile. There were a handful of lines I enjoyed such as the 'body dying but brain living on' speech, but the rest seemed like plagiarized, recycled and poorly delivered lines stolen from all the Nightmare films. so I believe that Robert Englund was the way better actor for the Freddy role.
