A brand new full trailer has been released for Platinum Dunes’ remake of the iconic horror franchise, A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The movie stars Jackie Earle Haley and tells the story of a man who is falsely accused of being a pedophile and burned alive by a mob of angry parents. Unfortunately for all of us, after his body is engulfed in accusing fires, his tormented soul remains and begins to kill children as they sleep and dream.
The new trailer gives us a much better look at the new Freddy Krueger and the trippy, hellish nightmare worlds that we can expect to see. It does appear that they’ve decided to use a lot of stuff from older movies instead of creating a completely unique new Nightmare world. That paired with the difficult-to-warm-up-to appearance change of Freddy himself has fans a little worried about how the final product will play; but for now, this is fans of the franchise’s best peek yet!

Official Plot Synopsis
I’ve really been trying to keep an open mind but, wow… this looks like shit. With all of its franchise plagiarism, mediocre TV actors (several of whom I’m ashamed to say I’ve seen in other stuff) and a freakish Freddy, this trailer makes the comically bad “Freddy Vs. Jason” look like high-concept art. And THAT’S just pathetic. I think there’s a special spit in hell reserved for Michael Bay. At least, I hope there is.
