I say let them give it a try!!…Worst case scenario is that they do a terrible job. We will always have the original Nightmare series to fall back on and if they happen to come up with something good, we might all be saying thanks for breathing new life into an iconic horror franchise. Even if you are dead set against this remake whether it turns out good or bad, nobody’s forcing you to buy a damn ticket when it comes out.

I heard it was Billy Bob Thornton, which I’d be strangely okay with, as long as he could bring out the sinister red-neck edge in classic Billy Bob fashion (Sling Blade, anyone?). That would be the only redeeming quality of this remake. Fuck the recycled, new-millenium pop culture.

ugh. I am so sick of horror movie remakes/reboots/rewhatevers. Unfortunately, I watch them all anyway…it makes me sad and depressed. But I can’t help myself.

Of course, since there’s no Robert Englund, I say, “why bother?”
