this really looks like something from x-files not nightmare... MAN BRING BACK THE ORIGINALS AND QUIT FUCKING AROUND WITH OUR MEMORIES HOLLYWOOD!!!!!

yeah, the second was like a parody of the first.

The first Evil Dead was scary shit, while the second is more like a horror-comedy

Oh yes I forgot that term, good call.

it is horror.......but torture though.

Wouldn't Evil Dead be comedy horror? Or just in comedy perhaps? In terms of like a movie rental stores genre sections lol. And isn't Saw thriller/suspense?

Just admit it Vis that you have a huge man crush on Cary Elwes lol.

The original "SAW" was indeed written well, but it was also my least favorite of the series. lmfao.

and P.S. Aficionado, in slashers they had very good dialouge {not a lot of them}, for example Halloween {original} had good dialouge while a shit load had lots and lots of terrible dialouge.

What about Evil Dead...how can u forget about that?

The original Saw was written well.

You know I think the last smart horror movie we Americans panned out was "The Exorcist," and even that was based off of a novel. :|

"but we all know the acting will suck balls and the dialouge will be terrible"

Pretty much every American slasher movie has had horrible dialogue and bad acting, even your precious originals, so what's your point? Did you just miss that entire conversation we were having below you about the absences of smart horror movies in this country?

Toys? TOYS? TOYS?!?!?!

I agree tall guy, I actually like it too. Maybe it's because I'm not really that big of a Freddy fan, I'd like to see a fresh take on it. At least we will have options now. Usually if a movie is terrible, no one talks about it more than a week or so lol, well, in horror films anyway. Only a select few people actually watch horror films and love it. Girls like scary movies, not really horror movies themselves, so you can rule most of them out. Guys who like horrors are the ones who are going to decide this movie's fate. Yeah sure the girl you bring with you will be "scared" but you'll be pissed off haha. I'm going in with neutral expectations since I only like some horror films. It's just me, so don't yell at me here, but I just can't watch most horror films, they are so fucking cheezy that I feel like my intelligence is being poked at with a stick lol. No offense to you guys at all, that's merely my humble opinion on why I can't watch most horror films.

Very unsettling. I kinda like this new look. Need to see another trailer.

this remake is gonna suck, although it looks grittier and more darker than the original, but we all know the acting will suck balls and the dialouge will be terrible, only Jackie Earl Haley as Freddy will be worth a while, im sick of this fucking remakes WHERE'S ORIGINALITY PEOPLE?!?!?

We don't have to because we remake all those movies, err lol

Good question.

i mean seriously, is it too much to ask for a well-written horror movie? there's well-written horror coming out of korea, france, spain, fucking norway... why not the u.s.?

indeed. so what i propose is that we enjoy the makeup/fx and focus on complaining about the half-ass job that platinum dunes usually puts into the writing and directing of the slop that they feed us.

Isn't that the way it is with most slasher films (including the originals) anyway, err? lol.

err is correct.

i don't think the problem with the film is going to be jackey earle haley or his makeup, i think its gonna be the fact that it will be mostly about annoying little fucker teens speaking poorly written dialogue and acting out a poorly-conceived and trite storyline. of course im just guessing here. but still id bet dollars to donuts (mmmm, donuts) that freddy will be the only cool part of the movie.

i dont want realism in a nightmare film... after all it is about a movie that INVADES through dreams... it looks more like an alien then a burn victim to me anyhow. still want to see the film, but the makeup is a real big turnoff.

Now he looks like a real burn victim.

this is not this same anymore :( but I wonder how the film will look like

Freddy Krueger is a burn victim who wears a fedora and Christmas sweater...Check. Check. And check. What are you complaining about? Y'all just have remake fever.

Cool. The new looks will take some getting used to, but Aficionado's got a point. It is just a toy. lmfao.

wow
terrible-looking
