Dark,Gritty,And Highly Entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2016)

This movie is great,as I forgot my problems with the film(which were nitpicks anyway)I'll just talk about how good it is.It has great atmosphere,the tone is actually very serious.The characters are all well developed,and well acted.I love the score,and the effects are great.The kills are awesome,and I didn't hate the ending as much as others did.I like the fact that as the movie goes on,Nancy,the final girl of the movie gets more and more paranoid.But the biggest pro,the concept,and Freddy Krueger himself,just so original and very different than the typical slasher villain.A Nightmare On Elm Street is a fantastic smart,gritty movie that manages to be fun at the same time.
