ReviewsTime - [D]irected by vide-auteur Samuel Bayer and written by Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer, [NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET] is what I'd call a fine copy.The new Nightmare is a straight, shiny, honorable remake., Entertainment Weekly - It's not every day that one of our rogues' gallery of iconic psycho killers gets to be played by a creepy and fascinating actor û [Jackie Earle] Haley knows how to make his own toxic sullenness show through the makeup, and he gives Freddy a touch of gravitas., The Guardian - [A} film in which the teens are screaming and the blood is flowing; a steel-jawed little man-trap tucked just beneath the duvet. Anything less would be a dereliction of duty.
