Review
This film is...I don't know, what's the word for bad? This film tries to be scary, but it actually makes you bored. The acting is predictably standard (Except for Haley, who does try to act his best), as this film doesnot much scare factor. The makeup looks awkward on Freddy, making him look like melted cheese. With the original Freddy (From what I've seen), he actually looks like a burn victim. Here, he looks like he got into a cheese fight. It's predictable with it's attempts at scares, it has a predictable end scene, and it just bores you. It's not fun to watch, even though Haley tries his best, but in the end, it's a predictable stale horror film that makes you want to watch the original.
Overall, I give it 4 out of 10 stars.
