Rated R for strong bloody horror violence, disturbing images, terror and language, the remake told the tale of teenagers Nancy, Quentin, Kris, Jesse, and Dean who are all neighborhood friends that begin having the same dream of a horribly disfigured man who wears a tattered sweater and a glove made of knives. The man (Jackie Earle Haley) terrorizes them in their dreams, and the only escape is to wake up. But when one of their own dies violently, the friends realize that what happens in the dream world is real, and the only way to stay alive is to stay awake.

Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller produced. It starred Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker, Kellan Lutz, and Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger.
