A Nightmare on Elm Street

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2011)

A Nightmare on Elm Street is probably Craven's most gritty film that went all out on some frightening bizarre scenes and borderline outrageous storyline. However, the movie works well, so much that Freddy Krueger has become a widely known killer villain. The introduction of Freddy was nearly perfect showcasing a great character. The supporting cast around Krueger was subpar but its easy to overlook. The pacing is great being fast in the beginning, releasing tension in the middle leading up to a great ending. The music is solid, atmosphere could have been a little better but overall a terrific movie in A Nightmare on Elm Street. A must see for horror fans.
