Add some dialogue. Make some jokes. Make a viewer relate. Then scare the hell out of them :D

I didnt like what Freddy become...his one liners wasnt funny...thats correct...

..its a real danger for a movie to become "Independence Day" (1996) or "Armageddon" (1998) if you try to put all the genres in one movie( a lovestory, action sekvense, little comedy, some tragedy and a happy ending)........
its more interesting to focus on characteres that not are funny ....and not have a lovestory going on ....maybe he/her have some mental problems or something...and its nearly almost TO MUCH dialogue in movies (in genral)...people dont talk all the time...but on screen they do......why dont directors dare to have less dialogue and more style ?
