The narrator, James, reviews the 2010 remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and compares it to the original. He criticizes the remake for not being as good as the original, citing poor CGI, a lack of originality, and a darker, more sinister tone that doesn't quite work.
The movie follows Nancy (Rooney Mara) and her friends as they are haunted by Freddy Krueger (Jackie Earle Haley), a child molester who was burned alive by a mob of parents and now seeks revenge on their children in their dreams.
James counts the kills in the movie, which include Dean's gruesome death by self-inflicted throat slashing, Jesse's death by Freddy's finger knives, and Nancy's mother's death by Freddy's finger knives through the back of her head.
In the end, James awards the "Golden Chainsaw" to the kill of Dean, citing its brutality and effectiveness in making him squeamish. He also gives Freddy the "Machete for Lamest Killer" award, citing his unoriginal and unimpressive kills.
The movie ends with Nancy, the final girl, killing Freddy by slitting his throat with a paper trimmer. James concludes that the remake did not live up to the original and that Freddy's kills were not as impressive as they could have been.
