They should not make a sequel to the remake of a Nightmare on Elm Street. Honestly, that idea does not make any sense because the film was so terrible. I agree there were some things I liked such as the darker tone and some of the psychological explanations of what was going on. Other than those, the film was absolutely terrible. First, the acting was terrible, including Jackie Earle Haley (He just was not Freddy). Second, thye plot was uninteresting and as you mentioned there was virtually no character development. Honestly, it would take all day to break down what was wrong with this film (no offense). As far as sequels go, I agree that many of them are terrible and should never have been made. Some exceptions being John Carpenter's The Thing, Thirteen Ghosts, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (which I actually thought was relaltively good, not a master piece, but good), and The Haunting. The worst remake of all time would have to be The Friday the 13th film, unlike Rob Zombie's Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street (where there were interesting ideas that wered poorly executed, making these films terrible) this film had absolutely nothing redeeming. As far as originals, I thought the original The Last House on the Left was disturbing, but still pretty good, although I would agree the remake was terrible. I enjoyed the original Carrie a lot, there were many great things about it. I especially liked how De Palma gave a more negative ending to it than in King's book. As for It, I have always thought that was a terribly overrated film and am glad to see that there are a number of people who agree with me.
