Summary Although Michael Bay is primarily known as a director of big-budget, action-heavy blockbusters, the Los Angeles-born director has also established himself as a major name in horror thanks to his Platinum Dunes production studio. In the early 21st century, Bay and Platinum Dunes set out to remake and reimagine several iconic horror franchises, starting a divisive trend that would see most major IPs receiving updates that many perceived as unnecessary.
While some Platinum Dunes horror movies offered radical and interesting reinterpretations of the source material, the final of the studio's remakes failed in almost every way. In premise and story, A Nightmare on Elm Street was broadly similar to the celebrated Wes Craven original – centering around a supernatural slasher villain who stalks teenagers in their dreams. This basic set-up, however, is where the similarities end.
The strength of the original movie lies in Rutger Hauer's mesmerizing, psychotic performance as the titular antagonist.
