I've seen pretty much every good horror movie that exists and believe the remake simply didn't receive good ratings because Robert England wasn't in it.
For many Freddy Krueger is England.
Yeah, I can see that. It'd be like Back to the Future without Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd.
However, I saw this deep fake video where Tom Holland's face is imposed over MJF's and Robert Downey Jr's on Christopher Lloyd's. If and only if these two were cast would I entertain a remake, otherwise I'd boycott it-lol. I don't have to worry though, one of the Zemeckis brothers owns the final rights to the films and he basically said as long as those rights are in his possession, it'll never happen.
