There was a joy that Robert Englund's Freddy got out of toying with his victims that really set the tone of his Freddy beautifully. He was playing with his food, and got an almost childlike delight out of it. The audience could share in his joy. Shifting the tone to make it all sexual in nature just made it too skeezy. You can't root for that.

"You guys, that was me, Kylie."
First laugh of the day.

I was born in the 80's so the original wins no contest. The remake shouldn't even be in same conversation. You can't reinvent the wheel. Cast is amazing. I'm actually gonna be meeting Robert Englund and the entire freddy 3 cast in November, so stoked

Freddy from “Freddy Got Fingered” is ten times scarier than the great value version of Freddy from the Elm Street remake

Yes!!! Katie Cassidy was a real missed opportunity!!! I was really disappointed (but not surprised) that her Character got killed off but she was a real shining moment of the first 1/3 of the remake.

Honestly this is one of the few remakes I don’t go back to, but holy hell Jackie Earle Haley was a menacing Freddy, also that was some good spanish

I love the original. I also like the remake. I actually like the overtness of CM. It gives the revenge aspect a little more grounding as to why he goes after the kids instead of the parents that killed him. The Freddy Wall scene is much better in the original. In the remake, I wish they actually followed through with "Freddy was innocent" angle they started going down. The situation of falsely accused teachers by preschool kids was an actual case in California. I think they just couldn't figure out how to end it if they went that direction. So, it became a plot thread just hung there.

I was about 12 when they announced the 2010 remake, and I was so upset at the time that Robert Englund wasn't playing Freddy I actually made a Youtube video complaining about it 😭 I'm 25 now and can finally appreciate Jackie Earl Haley's performance, still not a fan of the movie tho, the OG will always be the best in my eyes

I just feel like Kylie really embodied the physicality I look for in a Freddy. Is that controversial?

Lol "Somebody named David Warner"...Adorable.

@richardmark9161 3 years ago

My God! David Warner as Freddy Krueger would’ve been brilliant. Don’t get me wrong I love Robert Englund as Freddy but just a thought of David Warner is amazing.

Even though I'm not a fan of the remake, I enjoy seeing someone at least be able to defend it and the video was well made!

Loved this intro, you killed it!🤙

@gem_n_i 3 years ago

The music from the original is by far one of the greatest horror themes of all time. From the dirty synth dives to the iconic nursery rhyme it listening to it is goose bump city.

@corybourrier9722 3 years ago

Again with the kick ass intro 😎 , stoked for this one!

@Micahbell2838 3 years ago

I think it’s very cool to look at the remakes, even when they’re not very popular.

@boshjambro 3 years ago

Robert Englund also mentioned that James Cagney influenced Freddy as well. Cagney was an actor in the 1930s who did a lot of crime /gangster films. Cagney had a whole swagger to him that Englund wanted to bring to Krueger.

Probably a bit lost on new -ish audiences but this film came out right after the recession and the housing bubble burst. I remember going into theaters to watch it and they had all those big "McMansion" style house glory shots in it, juxtaposed to hearing how everyone was losing their houses in the past couple of months. This is also juxtaposed to the original, which had shots in poor urban areas, including some that were supposedly gang-ridden in Italy. No one really talked about it back then, but I immediately took note that it was yet another thing presumably stroking audiences the wrong way.

Also thanks for all the Heather/Nancy love! She's so wildly under appreciated!!
