A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Jackie Earle Haley plays Freddy Krueger in another remake of a 1980s slasher film that isn’t as scary or fun as the original. Nominated for an Oscar as a pedophile in “Little Children,” the creepy, little Haley is now being typecast as one.

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)

Virginia Madsen violates a real estate rule: If the rent on a house, which used to be a funeral home where séances were held, is too good to be true, don’t move in. The film’s grisly images aren’t enough to outweigh every horror movie cliché.
