Welcome to 2010, Freddy Krueger. You were scarier in 1984
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]
Too many more remakes as dull and bland as A Nightmare on Elm Street could kill off horror movies for good
by Rene Rodriguez [Miami Herald ]
the story's a bit slavishly faithful, but overall, it's a worthy Freddy follow-up
Review rate : B+
by Luke Y. Thompson [E! Online ]
the new Nightmare on Elm Street is a by-the-numbers bad dream that plays a little too much like a corporately ordered rerun
Review rate : B-
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]
New technology is a good excuse for remaking films these days but surprisingly this Nightmare really isn't even as technically effective as Wes Craven's 26 year old original
by Pete Hammond [Boxoffice Magazine ]
like any number of scary television series

It's not terrible. It's just . . . superfluous
by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]
It's moderately entertaining and instantly forgettable
by A.O. Scott [NY Times ]
It's a movie that starts slowly, and only starts moving us to the edge of our seat in the third act, adequate for a horror picture, but no more
by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel ]
In the end, your last fever dream about failing to study for an exam was probably scarier
by Robert Abele [LA Times ]

If all you're looking for are cheap scares, you'll find a few minor jolts and a decent - though not interesting or unusual - amount of gore
by Elizabeth Weitzman [NY Daily News ]
almost completely redundant
by Jeff Shannon [Seattle Times ]
A Nightmare on Elm Street is somnambulant enough without having to watch characters yawn and rub their eyes while trying to not doze
Review rate : C-
by Steve Persall [St. Petersburg Times ]
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" looks good recycling "greatest hits" moments but fails to capture the excitement of the original
by Colin Covert [Minneapolis Star Tribune ]
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" isn't a nightmare so much as it is a series of missed opportunities
by Jeff Vice [Deseret News ]
