1, 2, Freddy's coming for you… again!
We're diving deep into the controversial 2010 remake of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” for its (almost unbelievable) 15th anniversary! Was Samuel Bayer's vision truly a nightmare, or an unfairly maligned attempt to resurrect the horror icon created by Wes Craven? We dissect the script rewrites from Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer, Jackie Earle Haley's take on Freddy Krueger, and the performances of Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker, and Kellan Lutz. Joining in for this discussion after a long absence is our boy Donnie (@thedonnierequel on Instagram), who was one of the first guests of Back To The Blockbuster who helped turn it into what it is today. It’s a dream having him back but is this remake a nightmare worthy of horror praise or is it a bad dream we’d all like to forget? Listen in to find out!
