Personally I’m not all that excited or even interested in yet another reiteration/reboot/remake/ of The Nightmare on Elm Street series; especially being directed by a first time film maker who’s only made hard rock music videos up until this point. But I’m not completely against it either. I have to admit that I’m at least intrigued about what they might be able to do with the story and of course how Jackie Earle Haley will come across as the new Mr. Krueger. That’s partly why I’m posting this new clip from Yahoo! movies.

It finally gives us a better peak at what we can expect Freddy to to look like; though alas it doesn’t give us his voice. In some ways I do sort of like the idea that Freddy is now somehow able to enter reality. On the other hand it’s kind of a cop out isn’t it? I mean isn’t the whole point trying to stay awake so Freddy won’t get you? Now if he can enter reality, the gimmick is gone. Still, if it allows for some more interesting kills or visceral sequences, it could work.

What do you guys think? Worth a trip to the multiplex or a total and complete waste of time? Or worse yet, blasphemous? Check out the new clip under the seats…
