Samuel Bayer directed legendary music videos like Nirvana's "Smell's Like Teen Spirit." Back when MTV actually played videos, his work heralded the grunge movement and a gritty visual style for the genre. It took nearly 20 years for him to make the leap to film. Bayer's first feature is a doozy, the remake ofA Nightmare on Elm Street.
Children of the '80s grew up with Freddy Krueger. The 1984 Wes Craven movie spawned seven sequels (if you countFreddy Vs. Jason, which most count in both series.)...
Freddy vs. Jason sucked but the original Freddy is still awesome, maybe if I see the remake I might change my mind but given the history of remakes like OMG THIS IS SO THE AWESOME!!!! I doubt it.

If you thought Freddy vs Jason sucked, going out and seeing this remake would definetly be a waste of your time.
As far as remakes good, it was one of the better. I didn't enjoy the "plot twist" of making Freddy into an obvious pedofile, not just a butcher. I also didn't enjoy the actor who played the notorious Freddy Krueger. Robert Englund made the character into what he is today. No one can replace him, even if it is for a new generation.
