Why would they make this aimed for PG-13? That'd have to be a lame horror movie.

Why would you aim for a PG-13 rating in a Nightmare on Elm Street movie? A franchise that was built upon over the top gory creative frightening death scenes?

Gore and violence make good horror movies now. Good to know ratings make everything.
I just want a decent movie. Other horror movies have proven that you can do something great with minimal gore. I could give a f*** less about the rating.

Would The Hangover sold more tickets if it was a PG-13 movie with PG-13 rated humor? |

They are going for PG-13 because all these horror remakes are being aimed at teens. I highly doubt it will get a PG-13. Usually when critics voice in what a movie will be rated before it actually they are wrong. Everyone thought Grindhouse was going to be NC-17 and it didn't even come close.
I honestly thought the trailer looked pretty good. I believe they are going for a much scarier Freddy which would be great. Nothing against Robert Eunglunt but in most of the older movies they wrote freddy as kind of a joke who danced around and wouldn't scare a fly. The last movie New Nightmare which sucked was probably the best adaption of the character which is what I hope they went for here.

The Friday the 13th remake was Rated-R, and that made good money. The Saw movies are Rated-R, and they make good money. Paranormal Activity is Rated-R, and that's making good money. The Final Destination movies are Rated-R, and they made good money. Zombieland was Rated-R, and it made good money. I highly doubt the Nightmare on Elm Street remake will be rated PG-13. Everyone thought the new Halloween and Friday 13th would suck too. A lot of people did think the Halloween remake sucked. The Friday the 13th remake, however, was met with a lot of praise. |

Why remake a classic horror film?  This has nothing to do with: 1 ) A fresh look on an old idea 2 ) Trying to capture what the story REALLY was trying to say 3 ) The fans of the series It's about money. If they REALLY cared about the original movie or the fans of it, make a f***ing sequel. They don't care. They're gonna get paid no matter how it turns out. |

I could give a f*** less about the rating. It's more about staying true to the original. If this was a fresh, new, original movie then no one would be complaining about the rating because they would not know what to expect. But this is A Nightmare On Elm Street, in which the original had, well, this: Amongst other things. Now tell me how a PG-13 rating can do something like that justice. |

This guy's review had terrible, terrible grammar, and he really said a con to the movie was a token Asian guy in a webcam.
I think I'll withhold judgment on this one until I see it. I'm pretty sure this is an early cut for test audiences, and I'm sure they can edit and put scenes back in to make the film better.

I could give a f*** less about the rating. Nightmare on Elm Street has pretty much always been dependent on gore though. Doing a PG-13 Nightmare is as absurd as a PG-13 SAW. |

Unfortunatly it DOESN'T work when you have an established franchise that is ran off the R-Rating and you alienate fans by lowering it. Still, I'll wait until more than one guy says this. |

It didn't work for Terminator Salvation. PG-13 only works for four quandrant movies (Transformers, Pirates, Spidey, hopefully Avatar). It doesn't really benefit things that are supposed to be R (i.e. horror films). |
