This movie is undoubtedly is shot more seriously than the original OR any of its sequels!

I dunno know about that but this movie could had a better screenplay
You killed Captain Clown, YOU KILLED CAPTAIN CLOWN-The Joker on Batman TAS
I hate the original film and even I think that it craps all over this terrible remake.

is the original post having a giraffe?
shareUhh no its not better than the original; The original was miles better than this remake.
Heather Langenkamp acts circles around Rooney Mara (theres nor real comparisons there at all)
Robert Englund was is and always will be Kruger (although Jackie Earl Haley was pretty damn creepy)
the remake was fairly good and pretty entertaining, but it doesnt even compare with its classic predecessor.
As far as the sequels are concerned, i loved them too (my personal favorite of them all is Dream Warriors but thats me)
dream warriors classic but the first one goes first
r.i.p corey haim
I liked both.
As much as I liked Robert Englund (and I do feel very disloyal for writing this) but I preferred JEH's deeper, slightly gravelly voice. The voice made for much of the creepy effect Freddy gave, whereas RE sounds too shrill, like a clown.
And holy crap the last scene with the mirror scared the bejesus out of me!
Nowadays it's jump scares and loud music that can be considered scary, and this is what other people think is serious.
Have you ever seen Halloween, the original, it wasn't always jump scares its more of a Psychological thriller/slasher. The same with the original Texas Chainsaw Masacre, or go watch Daria Argento Flicks. But if you were referring to it's shooting technique I don't know what to say.
I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

Original Halloween is boring as hell. The remake is even worse (not due to it being boring)
shareI just watched this and thought it was on par with the original, it certainly wasn't a bad movie. I'm a fan of the orginal NOES and I really don't see how a person could like one and not the other because it's the same material. Both films were dark, serious and disturbing, and both Englund and Haley were scary. I actually found Haley to be creepier in a lot of ways, his look alone is scarier. Englund's Krueger at least looked like a normal human in the face despite the burns, but Haley looked far more gruesome. Bottom line this is a very worthy remake of a iconic horror film and it's better than all the crappy NOES 80s sequels by far with the exception of Dream Warriors.
shareI don't think it HAS to be better than or even on par with the original, it just has to be better than the majority of horror crap they're churning out these days. As far as post-2000 horror movies go, I though this was slightly better than average.
Rooney Mara is definitely more talented than Heather Langenkamp and she's even prettier. That was one area where this surpassed the original.

You've gotta be kidding Heather is waaaaaayyyyyy hotter than plain Jane looking Rooney Mara. If that's what passes for good looking today. Please take me back........
