Watch A Nightmare on Elm Street For Free

Load of rubbish!!

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The spectre of a dead child rapist haunts the children of the parents who murdered him, stalking and killing them in their dreams. Jackie Earle Harley is great as Freddy Krueger despite the terrible make up that was used on his face and his more serious perfomance as Freddy even tho it's nowhere near as good as Robert's is still really good. The rest of the cast with the exception of Kyle Gallner was a mixed back especially Mara's and Cassidy's as for Dekker and Lutz? Their perfomances were Terrible. The film has some nice scares and a nice origin for Krueger's twisted past but it's also a remake with some terrible over the top kills (like the Ending) and some awful cgi (like the one with the wall). Overall it's better than most of the previous films but it's nowhere near as good as the first or Dream Warriors and New Nightmare. (5.5/10)

I don't get it. How did the kids fall asleep while doing important things like swimming or walking? At a funeral? Why would Freddy all of a sudden be a killer when he was simply a child molester before? If he was coming back to haunt them and didn't kill anyone before, why would he kill anyone now? Wouldn't he just feel them up a bit? And how did the parents make the kids forget everything? Yet, almost all of them live in the exact same neighborhood where they grew up? All of these horrible plot holes and convenient tactics just scream lazy writing. Don't they workshop this stuff before they submit it for finals? They broke their own rules repeatedly with the whole hallucination/micro sleep stuff they did, by taking stuff out of the dreams, and on top of that, the kids did weird things that normal kids probably would or wouldn't do. For example, the kids knew the parents knew about Freddy eventually, but why did none of them mention the said dreams they were having? Poorly written characters and dialogue on top of this crap sundae; where the teenagers would solo it out instead of staying together to keep each other awake, and a lack of empathy towards the victims, as they were mostly boring cannon fodder for Freddy's claws. None of the characters interacted all that much, and they didn't seem to care all that much when the others died.Also, the cliche usage of jump scares, the wooden acting, the boring protagonist and antagonist, and the complete copycat massacre scenes of the first film. I guess it's hard to be original in Hollywood.

This is not fun. This is despicable. Haley was given an impossible task of filling the clawed-gloves of Englund, and, sure enough, he just can't pull it off. His Freddy is WAY too dark, removing any mystery in his historical subtext, making him charmless and cruel. It's visually kind of interesting, and the teen performers may be the best of the series…but that's not nearly enough to justify this cynical nightmare.

This comes with a caveat: I've never seen any of the original Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I've never been a huge fan of the horror genre. I'm not opposed to the occasional horror movie, I'm just not a fanatic like some people are.Viewing it through that lens - as someone who had no preconceived notions of what it should be and who doesn't watch a ton of horror to begin with - I thought it was great. The action was nicely spaced throughout the movie, keeping the tension up without the deaths feeling too forced. It was not B movie buckets o' blood, but it didn't shy away from gore either. All in all, it looked very well produced. It was polished, entertaining and several times I found myself annoyed or sad because of what was going on in the movie. If you can draw me in enough for me to start feeling emotions for the characters, I think you've succeeded in making a good movie.I give it a 7/10 because it's not one of my favorite movies ever, but I'd certainly watch it again and recommend it to friends.
