It seems like new trailer for the remake of the 1984 Nightmare on Elm Street, has gone insane on MySpace, at least according to Mashable.com.
As for the trailer itself. Looks great, dare I say, horror buff and all.
This does not ooze cheesy remake. Instead, it appears to stay truthful to the original dark, serious, downright scary. Glad to see it's not another of the MTV-style, catch phrase, throwaway sequels of the late 80s. The trailer itself is very good, a lot of detail and also the idea of exploring the Freddy Krueger back-story that is only alluded to in the original is creative. That is, the alleged child molester is hunted and ultimately burned in a boiler room by vigilante parents from the neighbourhood featuring the famous, and not exactly unique, Elm St.
And we all know Freddy is kind of like the roach that wont die and he always gets the last laugh as he stalks teens in their dreams in his trademark red and green striped shirt and bladed power glove.
