Watch The New Nightmare On Elm Street 2010

By Kimberley Stewart

When you are looking for some of the finest in film remakes, it seems as though Hollywood has really been on point over the last few years. While it might be a case to suggest that they have run out of good ideas, it might also be safe to say that some of these classics needed a bit of a facelift for the new millennium. One great example of this would be "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010".

You should understand first that there are no numbers of the year in the title, however this is often put at the end so that it can be distinguished from the film of 1984. There are a few different things that this article is setting out to accomplish, the first of which will be to give you some key plot points. The second of these would be to draw some parallels between this film and the original release.

You should realize that this film has a lot of different reasons that you might want to watch it. There are plenty of new faces that help to reinvent classic characters and still this movie has a deep rooted commitment to stay true to form with the rest of the Elm Street series. This article will get started with the synopsis of the plot, but you should be mindful as this synopsis might divulge smaller spoilers about the film.

The film opens on a diner in Springwood. It isn't long until you get your first look at Freddy Krueger and what he can do in this film. You also get your first stint of paranoia as Dean, the man encountering Freddy at that time has a chance to explain everything to his girlfriend, Kris. He tells her that someone in his dreams is trying to kill him and she watches him die right before her eyes.

Soon the panic sets in among the groups, and there are so many theories about what actually happened that it becomes difficult to see who is being affected by Dean's death. Soon, everyone who is having separate conversations with each other realize that the same man is haunting their dreams, Freddy Krueger.

Soon the body count begins to rise and no one seems to have an answer to how to stop the madman in their dreams with the knives. Through a little history lesson from their dreams coupled with a discovery made by Nancy coming out of one, both Quentin and Nancy decide to propose one final stand against a man that haunted them as children, and aims to kill them today.

There are all kinds of scenes that parallel the original, and they fit seamlessly into this release. One of the most noteworthy things to keep in mind about this new release would be the replacement of Robert Englund, the original and only Freddy Krueger. The re-imagining is masterfully constructed by Jackie Earle Haley portraying the same Freddy Krueger we have all grown to fear, but with a new look and some new lines.

Learning about A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 is not difficult, and if you are a horror fan you should certainly check it out. While there might be more to consider than what is listed here, this should give you a little more insight into one of the best horror remakes in quite some time. - 40726
