Accurate. But much better than Elm Street. About on par with Goonies for quality IMO. I'm so happy there's an R-rated movie starring kids that's doing well at the box office. And one with personality, no less!

Curry looks quaint and bland by comparison. Skarsgard injects so much life, menace, and weirdness into the character. He is vivid, tangible, playful but never light, and he looms large. He is an unforgettable presence. Curry was inspired casting, and he played the part well, but the character was not as uniquely realized or imaginatively crafted as he is here. Really, it's a credit to both Skarsgard and the filmmakers.

Oh absolutely. I don't love the movie, but that performance is undeniable.

But is it on par with the greatness that is Maximum Overdrive?
