7, 8, better stay up late.

And here it is. The inevitable, presumably final, trailer for the Nightmare on Elm Street remake/reboot/reimagining by Michael Bay and co. Enjoy...



My first thoughts? I honestly think this looks potentially really cool, but I'm a very forgiving audience. Certain points made me jump, I was creeped out, scared, excited, and I like the look of most of what I see. The nitpicking fan boy in me is still unsure of Jackie Earle Haley's portrayal of Freddy Kreuger, in particular the voice, but the iconography of the character is heavy. I don't mind the repeated scenes from the original Wes Craven film but hope it's not a CGI overload. Yeah, I'm looking forward to hopefully, miraculously getting to the cinema soon when this is released, my fanboy sense is tingling.

One, two, Freddy's coming for you...

And now to the huge news of the day (for me anyway). The first trailer has appeared for the much talked about re-do of A Nightmare on Elm Street, and you can watch it in all it's glory below, if you are so inclined...



I know I'm a sucker but this looks awesome. Iconography and creepy moments from the known classic, mental new pace and cool new moments, a great actor in the legendary role. The one let down is the abysmal looking make up. Still though this filled me with giddy glee, roll on next year.
