I didn't know they were doing yet another re-make of a movie.

You know. I am not a fan of horror movies. But for some reason I really like the elm street series, halloween and phantasm.

Though having said that I would love to cut trailers for horror movies for a living.

anyway, Is it just me or do all the young actors come off as kids, like young kids even though there not. Are they all to dolled up looking or something? i cant put my finger on it.

It just seems that teenagers and young adults looked older or something in the 80s when all the teen movies and horror movies were made.

The movie actually looks good, but there is just something about the actors that is a turn off to me.

Hollywood needs new writers. All they are doing is remakes or copying other movies.

Let Zombie have a crack at it. The Halloween remakes are great, well the first one was, have yet to see the second.

The Halloween remakes are HORRIBBBLEEEE. Zombie sucks. The Friday 13th remake was HORRIBBBLEEEE. I was going to give Nightmare a chance but I don't know about that trailer. Seems too word for word on the original and Freddy just looks like a burn victim now vs a monster. Not sure how I feel about that.

Heard about this a couple months ago. I'm a huge fan of the original " A Nightmare on Elm Street ". I always thought Freddy was the scariest out of all the killers (Michael Myers, Jason, etc.)

As for the trailer, I thought it was pretty good. I guess since it's not Robert Englund playing Freddy, they decided to change the makeup of his face. I'm definitely excited and I'll check it out, when it hit theaters.

I like that he actually looks like a burn victim now.

Yeah, Hollywood has become one giant cover band, rehashing the old hits, like the greying old dudes you see in local bars, dragging out Ded Zeppelin tunes. BOOORING!

**** 'em, they suck anyway.

I think some remakes are pretty cool. Its always good to see an old movie get the advantage of modern tech.

Of course, the old movie was usually good despite not having it which means it was the parts of the movie you can't reproduce.

And judging from the preview, I'd say there's probably gonna be a good 20 minutes of dramatic buildup before every freddy appearance.

Awesome, when did Rorschach get that cool glove?

Trailer doesn't look that good but I will probably go see it though.

I thought they could have made the theme song a little bit more scarier to get you hyped to see it.

You're being kind.

Halloween is one of my favorite scary movies and Zombie's blew chunks.

Zombie's ridiculous. He's a Xerox machine for movies, just making copies of what others have done, even when he was making his own stuff. He figured he could mash the best elements of his favorite 70's horror flicks into one and call it his own.

Such a waste of perfectly good art form. There hasn't been a horror film worth it's weight in celluloid in well over 10 years, and probable 20.

It was an abomination that they ever let him get his hands on the Halloween films.

QFT!

Halloween is one of my favorite films of all time. I actually liked Devils Rejects...But i'll never forgive Zombie for what he did to Halloween. Utter trash.

Trash is a good word.

House of 1000 Corpses has a strange hold on me for some reason.

Sid was the only good thing about House of 1000 corpses...but really it was a rip off of texas chainsaw massacre.

I just don't get all of these remakes of the horror classics.

I think the only remake that has been decent in years was the Dawn of the Dead remake.

that even got stupid with the killing machine bus.

I did like house and devils rejects though.

Apparently, they used CGI to blur out his face in the trailer. He's suppose to look like this.

You've got to be kidding me right? Right? The original Halloween movie is, IMO of course, the best horror movie ever. It was just about as perfect as one of those movies can be and Zombie came along, with a pretty near perfect template, and completely, totally, and utterly ruined it. Zombie deserves to be beaten senseless for his terrible remake of that classic.

The Halloween remakes are HORRIBBBLEEEE. Zombie sucks. The Friday 13th remake was HORRIBBBLEEEE. I was going to give Nightmare a chance but I don't know about that trailer.

I'm thinking I'll likely see the remake. I've seen the Halloween remake, the Friday the 13th remake, and so I'll likely see this one as well. It will no doubt, however, be as big a let down as those other two were.

Which I really don't get. You've got a template. yes you don't want to make the movie word for word the same. You're updating it and what not but when they just completely change things around and just obviously updated it with the express reason of being able to get more graphic sex scenes in the movie or just being more violent then it's a huge waste of time. Those two movies were just garbage compared to their originals which were actually really quality, classic, horror movies, IMO.

I did like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake only because I didn't feel like they went out of their way to completely change the thing up but did the whole updating it and adapting it in some ways thing. I thought that one worked rather nicely.

Heard about this a couple months ago. I'm a huge fan of the original " A Nightmare on Elm Street ". I always thought Freddy was the scariest out of all the killers (Michael Myers, Jason, etc.)

I don't like the look on the trailer, personally. I know you've got to change it, to make it more fresh, which I'm cool with but that trailer just didn't look cool in regards to his look.

House of 1000 corpses was crap. An absolutely terrible knock off of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. his remake of Halloween, as I said above, was garbage. The Devils Rejects I find oddly well done. I'm not really sure why cause when I first watched it I thought...man this is terrible. But the more I thought about it afterwards the more I kind of dug the movie. So that's his one movie thus far that I'm ok with. The rest of his work is just trash.
