A Nightmare on Elm Street anticipation thread.

[EmmanuelZorg]

A thread for anyone who's looking forward to the promising reboot of the Elm Street series! i've been a fan of this series since i was a kid and this should make Freddy creepy again instead of comical.

Jackie Earl Haley might be a good replacement for Englund and this looks quite fancy.

Well, Craven already made Freddy creepy again in the superior New Nightmare, superior to the previous 5 movies of course, I don't know about this new one.

I'm not exactly on the edge of my seat for this one, but i'll certainly give it a chance to prove itself to me.

It actually looks more slick than I expected, but saying that my expectations aren't really up there.

I'll check it out if it's on TV.
