Horror fanatic Duncan checks out the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Does the new Freddy Krueger cut the mustard?
It was perfect, and a joy to share the sheer terror with another generation.
You suffer a slow and painful demise and witness one of the most awful films of recent times.
The anger and shock prove too much, your head explodes.
Okay, so maybe your head doesnt literally explode, but everything else is true.
The remake is amazing for one main reason: it actually fails to make Freddy Krueger scary.
We know they can do better, so do they, but no one seems to care.
Here the group of teens are all so damn miserable that you think theyd welcome death.
Sadly, theres more.
Out with the drama, in with the unintentional laughs.
The director cant even copy the scenes out of the original correctly.
I imagine the director is terrible at hide and seek, shouting, Im right behind this door!
Youll never guess where I am!
I checked and all seven are available in a boxset from play.com for 12.99.
Thats less than the price of two cinema tickets.
