This movie is a perfect example of soul-less corporate nitwits sitting around and hatching a hollow excuse to drain the pockets of stupid teenagers. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the script probably took a few hours to write. The movie has no cohesion, no flow, no pacing, no plot. Some special effects like the morphing look professional, but that's the only professional thing about this movie. Full of stupid cliches designed to relate to teenage audiences (raves, slang, plastic surgery references, pointless shots of smoking and drinking, etc.). This makes the original Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the Thirteenth series look like masterpieces of American cinema. Of course I *knew* it would be a bad movie, but I thought it would be bad in an enjoyable way or at least entertaining in parts. But it's not enjoyable. It's depressing to think that American audiences are being fed this kind of drek (and giving it fairly good ratings, by the looks of IMDB's polls!). So slapped-together, so hokey, so empty of any atmosphere or scares or anything worthwhile to redeem its existence. If you see this movie and don't think it's AWFUL, you seriously have something wrong with you. Seriously. Robert Englund (the actor who plays Freddy) shouldn't have sunk so low as to accept the role in this movie--he couldn't have needed the money *that* badly. All in all, I think this movie represents the inevitable extinction of the human race.
