The guy is a total hack who just keeps regurgitating the same poorly written junk over and over, I would put him about half a step above Ewe..err Uwe Boll.

He's going to appear as your absolute worst fear on the grandest scale. A guy frightened by bugs might get stung to death by a billion insect-Freddies. A person into fantasy RPGs might die via fire-breathing dragon-Freddie (or unexpectedly be slain by the princess-Freddie he just rescued from the dragon-Freddie). One of the things that most disappointed me about the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street was that it was essentially such a point by point remake. I mean, if there was any excuse to go hog-ass insane with CGI, it's in a movie about a demon that kills people in their dreams.
