A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Remake Review | Don’t Press Play Podcast
In this episode of Don’t Press Play, Alex dives deep into the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Once a horror classic from Wes Craven, this reboot tried to bring Freddy Krueger into the modern era - but ended up as one of the most hated remakes in horror history.
Alex breaks down why the characters feel flat and disjointed, why Rooney Mara’s Nancy falls completely flat, and why Freddy’s darker backstory makes the film uncomfortable rather than scary. From bad CGI walls to baked-potato Freddy, this remake fails to capture the magic, practical effects, and heart of the original 1984 film. Should you watch A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)? Absolutely not. We pressed play, so you don’t have to.
