FAIL! Disappointment! says Kelly O:
There is NOTHING scary about this 2010 remakeâexcuse me, âreboot,â oops, I mean âcontemporary reimaginingââof the original Wes Craven classic. NUTHHH-THING. I watched it in a full-to-the-brim crowded theater, and not one person gasped, jumped, or even made a single solitary reactionary peep. Itâs 95 minutes of total garbage. Director Samuel Bayer should be ashamed of himself. And thatâs hard for me to say, because heâs the same Samuel Bayer who once directed a little music video for a band called Nirvanaâa video for a little song called âSmells Like Teen Spirit.â That video changed everythingâmuch like A Nightmare on Elm Street changed everything for every horror film that followed it in the late â80s and early â90s.
