Dammit, I came here hoping for news of a sequel
But I do love my Freddy movies. I know guys who rave about Jason or Mikey but I just find that they aren't scary. They tromp around and murder you. Meh. But Freddy is another thing all together. He takes your soul after he rips apart your psyche. It's not just a "I'm in your head ooga booga" thing, it's I'm going to **** you up with your deepest darkest fears, your hopes and dreams.
That is what makes him a great villain.
I enjoyed the remake even though I found they were heavy handed with the pedophile part of the character. I liked it better in the older movies where they gave you enough that you could fill in the blanks and get what he did to the kids but they didn't shove it in your face.
I'm still hoping for a sequel. The Halloween remake got a sequel and I thought the first was pretty terrible. Maybe some day...
