A Nightmare on Elm Street Trailer 2 in HD

Pro: It's a well edited, with a sleek look and some great sound design and music.

Con: All the young actors are far too pretty for there own good and are making me feel insecure about myself.

Pro: Freddy is one of my favourite slasher villains, and he's being played by a terrific actor in Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children, Watchmen).

Con: Produced by Michael Bay and directed by a first time director. The production studio is Platinum Dunes, who are known for butchering horror remakes.

Pro: The imagery in the dream sequences looks pretty cool and scary.

Con: "Who are you?"/"Remember me?" as an exchange makes absolutely no sense.

Pro: We get to watch all the young pretty people die, which is reaffirming...I suppose.

Con: Did I mention Michael Bay?

A Nightmare on Elm Street will be in theatres in the US from April 30th and in Australia from May 20th
