After the successful re-imagining of Halloween and the pending opening weekend for the remade Friday the 13th (which is actually Part 2 *spoiler alert* the Mom was the killer in the first one!) everyone seems to be cashing in on bringing back mediocre serial kilers for another 20 movies or so.

Freddy Krueger is the latest victim, and has just been given his director. The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz Blog reports Samuel Bayer, the man responsible for Nirvana's award-winning "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video will be bringing you the latest installment of everybody's favorite dream-invading bad guy.

I don't know how comfortable I feel with a music video director making the leap to film, but then I stepped back and realized that this film is just another in the line of horrible slasher remakes that keep popping up. And it's kinda hard to mess up a slasher flick. Start creepy music, think killer is there but WAIT it's just a cat, turn around and get hit with an axe. It's pretty formulaic. Which leaves me with one hope, and that is that Hollywood decides to remake Child's Play, but this time he gets trapped in an Elmo doll. Kids will never see Sesame Street the same way...
