Franchise Discussion: A Nightmare on Elm Street

[all4gore]

I'm a huge fan of the Nightmare series, but a remake is no good. Everybody is doing them, and it's really starting to get annoying. Just go make a shitty sequel...no expects much from a sequel, and it really doesn't have to live up to anything. If they do a remake, then it has to live up to the original, and they never do. So I actually hope this film never happens....along with the Hellraiser remake.

freddys one of my favoritesssss.

1s the best but out of the rest the 3rd comes in 2nd.

Theres so many things wrong with this I dont even know where to start.

I really enjoyed the first one (I actually re-watched it last night) as a legitimate horror movie. I enjoyed the rest of the series as classic 80's slasher camp. New Nightmare introduced a darker, scarier Freddy that I really liked and made him the monster he always should have been.

If they remake it (given the current trend I don't know why they wouldn't) I'd like to see it taken back to the feel of a proper horror movie, rather than a horror comedy.

As mediocre as the remakes were I would compare "old" Leatherface versus remake Leatherface. Updated and much more intimidating, thats what I would like to see done with Freddy.

Yeah if they do this and add something new to the remake, I won't really have a problem.

There are some good remakes out there, there is just more bad ones.

Is Robert Englund going to be Freddy? I don't know if the remake would work for me if he isn't. Who else could be Freddy?

I dont have any suggestions, but with Englund's consent it could be kind of cool to see someone else in the role.
