Right on. I think neither the original or the remake are that remarkable -- the original has a more interesting story behind it, since no one thought it was going to be popular, and getting it made seemed a bit hard, but eh. The remake was honestly more entertaining, if for all the wrong reasons. And like I explained with previous "landmark" horror movies like LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (I'd probably give it a 3/10 -- one part bumbling cop show, one part girls pissing themselves so parents get revenge em, no part entertainng to watch) and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (maaaaaaaaaybe a 5/10; cool atmosphere, no music whee!, WAY too long, gets by only on backwoods atmosphere since there's no substance)...... uh.. I rate films on entertainment only, not how "important" they are or any other factors.
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET remake, as a film, is a 0/10. As a device to entertain me, it's a lot better.
