Pretty Good

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2014)

The film starts out on the footsteps of a man gathering tools and building some kind of glove.
Tina Grey has a nightmare and awakens with slashes similar to the glove of someone in the dream, but she dismisses this and her conversations with her friends the next day (who had similar dreams). That night, Tina's parents are out of town and she and her friends have a small party where they once again share their dreams and how similar they were. That night Tina is killed in her dream and for real, but her boyfriend Rod is accused because he was the only one present. Rod is eventually arrested and strangled in prison, again in his dreams and reality. Eventually Glen dies too, but Nancy is able to defeat Freddy by pulling him into reality and using booby traps around the house and saying she isn't afraid of him.
In a lot of ways this movie is very cheap, but it's effect on my youth and mass culture is hard to deny. Between Freud and this movie, I don't think conversations of dreams on the bus would have been so popular without it.
There are a lot of good, frightening scenes in the nightmares. I think they do a good job with the industrial imagery. It's a little bland for my modern special FX taste, but I enjoyed the 80s touch.
I wouldn't recommend this unless your a horror fan, in which case it's quite good.
