One... Two... Freddy's Coming For You...

It looks pretty neat, judging by the trailer. Bay's taking a few artistic liberties in order to justify having 90% of his budget devoted to special effects. It could be good. Then again, it could be terrible - no one could replace Robert Englund.

Freddy's an interesting villain; when he scares people in theaters, their first instinct is that sleeping will make the horror go away. But not for Freddy!

Oh good it's Michael Bay producing Freddie Kreuger, now I can get EVERYTHING that makes me shit my pants in terror all in one movie.

EDIT: Seriously I'm a little hopeful that Bay will terrible it up hard enough that it curbs my literally lifelong fear of Krueger for a couple of years, like Freddy vs. Jason.

I normally don't watch horror movies. But I did sit through Freddy vs Jason. Might give this a shot.

Yeah... he also directed the Texas Chainsaw remake, and that was pretty terrible.

It's not like I had much of a choice at the time.

So has Bay ever done anything good or is he like some kind of Tim Burton and only his recent movies are terrible.

Michael Bay has made 1. terrible movies and 2. somewhat enjoyably terrible movies. It is pretty much 1. Transformers / Transformers 2 / The Island / Pearl Harbor / Armageddon vs 2. The Rock / Bad Boys / Bad Boys 2

All of them, all of them and all of them.

Depends on what you think of Playboy videos.

That's more a drinking game than a resume.
