A Nightmare on Elm Street

Samuel Bayer

2010

A group of teens discovers that the only way to escape the clutches of Freddy Krueger is to not fall asleep, which is easier said than done when you're being stalked by a murderous dream demon with knives for fingers. Oh, and did I mention they made Freddy look like a discount Halloween costume?

Guess the perspective of the following positive and negative comments provided by AI.

Answer at bottom!

+ In this new adaptation of the classic horror franchise, the intense performances and updated visuals make for a thrilling and romantic nightmare come to life.

- Despite the beautiful and talented cast, the lack of originality and suspense left my heart feeling empty and unfulfilled.

Now some haikus and midjourney art…

A not that bad Fred

Stinky acting in the start

Got bad feeling here

Swapping of the lead

Cost a lot of momentum

Mother Daughter Hi

Lean heavily in

Backstory as always now

Throwaway question

Darker in control

One boy speaks for all victims

And assuming wrong

Practical special effect

Destroy CGI

It’s serviceable

Not the worst of the series

Freddy Lives Again

Nine Points of View

The Optimist

A very dramatic remake that leans too heavily into backstory and bad acting. Freddy was the redeeming factor.

The Mystic

Don’t let sleeping dogs lie, demand the truth.

The Hyperbolist

Worst CGI reproduction of a practical effect ever!

The Dualist

OK movie, by following the original’s story fairly close it guarantees it will be passable even with its flaws.

The Trickster

Please remake the original Nightmare on Elm Street with a different Freddy and slightly altered story on an annual basis.

The Skeptic

Why are Freddy’s claws causing sparks on the metal? He’s not moving his fingers that fast… or do I not understand how sparks and fire work?

The Rationalist

Childhood amnesia solves a lot for this movie, I guess.

The Empath

Dog dies in a dream, but I had to see so it counts.

The Overthinker

By adding an emphasis on backstory, and making the parents less of alcoholic messes, a lot of the more meaningful symbolisms were lost in favor of a timely emphasis on the questioning victim’s memory.

Estimated Budget - $35,000,000
