A close-up look at the new Freddy Krueger
When the trailer for the new NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET premiered a few months back, we were left wondering just how gruesome the new Freddy Krueger would look. The trailer teased us with a few shadowy shots, but nothing really to confirm what I'd read about the redesign being much more realistic.
Now, Shock Till You Drop has for us our first good look at Jackie Earle Haley's Krueger. The picture comes to us courtesy of a collectible figurine, so we still don't know what it will look like on film, but it's still exactly what I was expecting: disgusting and awesome.
It had never occurred to me until now that I'm seeing the new Freddy that the old one didn't really look like a burn victim. At least not the ones you see The Discovery Channel. The fire eats away your defining features when you experience a tragedy like that and this new Freddy definitely captures that look. Personally, I dig how disturbing and realistic it is, but I'm sure people are gonna be divided. What do you guys think?
