There are some things that simply CANNOT be improved upon. NO ONE can do Freddy like Robert!!!! This remake is a lame money-grab attempt....don't watch it.....

Billy's Nightmare:  1272 days ago

I do not think that Billy Bob-a-dob Thornton Heath in South, London (ENGLAND) is suitable for the part. One-two buckle my show, three-four show Billy the door (and then help him out of it). Fans of the Nightmares movies know damn well who the Nightmares movies are based on and Billy Bob is a demi-friend of this mans (bad news). What is the (acting) World coming to? Let's go back to the quality that movies once were (sorry Billy-Simon, but you would not get a look in) then everone will be happy. Yes to more Nightmares productions but NO to Billy-Simon-Bob Thornstuckinsomeone'ssideton.

killer pad wasn't that bad, it was about some kids that buy an apartment that is a portal to hell. a bit of a stretch, but if you know what you're getting into it's not half bad :)

Replacing Robert Englund with Billy Bob is going to be more painful to watch than seeing Vince Vaughn replacing Anthony Perkins in Psycho. Oh god, I just threw up in my mouth.... There's only one Freddy and no one will ever compare to Robert!!
