There was huge trend starting in 00s to remake old slasher films and bring them to an emo audiences of teenagers who liked Slipknot and Marilyn Manson. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Ghost Ship (Death Ship) and even House of Wax. A Nightmare On Elm Street is either a reboot or remake depending on which way you look at it. It was universally panned by critics and slasher fans alike, but it's not that bad.

Coming out in 2010 it has a clinical, cold, dark look to it which seems to still be a popular aesthetic choice seen in films like Us (2019) , maybe it became popular with films like The Cell (2000) and In Dreams (1999). I personally preferred the neon dayglo of 80s slashers and the "blue light" effect of 90s horrors like Necronomicon (1993) and Two Evil Eyes (1990).

The deaths in A Nightmare On Elm Street are gory enough, but lack the humour and outrageousness of even the first A Nightmare On Elm Street. The acting is decent enough, with the teens not being annoying or boring and Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger is a fine choice; but he is nowhere near as imposing as Robert Englund or as funny. In a nutshell it's just a bit "meh" like a lot of 00s slashers "Cherry Falls", "Jason X" and "The Pool (2001)" . Had it not carried the Freddy brand I believe it would have had a fairer roasting by critics. It's not a must see, but it's perfectly acceptable as a popcorn horror.
