The slasher genre has seen iconic killers be invented and reinvented time and again. Michael Myers was a character that knew about reinvention all too well, considering how many times his story was rebooted over the decades. However, Jason Voorhees was another character that had his story rebooted in an era when slashers were reborn in the 21st century. 2003's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre started a new trend that has continued over a decade later, where slashers are given more grounded or gritty origins. But of all of these, one of the riskiest remakes came with 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street.
