  I "got lucky"* in 1984 after catching NOES at the theater.
  
  So i seriously doubt, er, that any "remake", can um, live up to that?

  The original Nightmare on Elm Street was a masterpiece; one of the best horror films of all time, and arguably Wes Craven's last great film. While I might be seeing this remake- it doesn't look like a Saw/Hostel film or the Halloween remake so it probably won't be all that unpleasant- what does concern me is that we see the lynching, whereas in the original, we only found out the origin story later on in the film. I much prefer the sense of mystery that was created by the earlier film. Anyway, while it's not on my 'films to see' list, I probably will see this film.

  I don't find Bay to be as offensive as many other people seem to (I loved The Rock), however I do find it funny that he would produce a horror film. He has never directed a horror film, and as such, his producing of one really surprises me.
