Roger Qbert Reviews "A Nightmare on Elm Street" Remake

Roger Qbert Reviews “A Nightmare on Elm Street” Remake

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve never actually seen any of the original Nightmare on Elm Street films.

But even if you’ve never seen any of the originals, you know the drill: [...]

A Nightmare on Elm Street

A Nightmare on Elm Street

The remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street isn’t particularly scary or tense, definitely not original, and almost completely absent of character depth and plot; but it looks pretty good, doesn’t dilly dally , and gets a fun (outside a couple of eye rolling one liners) turn by Jackie Earl Haley as Krueger.

Shutter Island

DiCaprio plays Teddy Daniels, a U.S. Marshall sent to Shutter Island to investigate the disappearance of one of the inmates [...]

Awesome Trailer for ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ Remake!

Yes, I really said it, it looks awesome! I’m not a big fan of remakes, but I think the production values look top notch, and the story even intrigues me. Jackie Earle Haley will be playing Freddy this time around, and he seems perfect for the role of the villain. There are a few things [...]
