One of the best horror movies of all time.

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2008)

Nightmare On Elm Street was a wonderful movie! A catchy, creative script executed great with a good director and good actors, it succeeded expectations. I tried watching it with my friends, but they hated it because of the "magic" used by Freddy. But I didn't mind it, it was a bit corny, but it made him more scary. Freddy is a chilling character. He's probably one of the most creative and scary characters ever, and I thought they used him perfectly. They didn't show him too much, but just enough to make you wide-eyed every time he appears. The actors aren't wonderful, but they do an exceptional job. The only acting that bothered me was Heather Langenkamp's work on Nancy. I don't know why, she just kind of bothered me.
The ending was kind of dumb and corny. But it kind of worked as a cliffhanger, although they didn't use that cliffhanger at all ever again.
Anyways, one of the best horror movies of all time in my opinion. 9/10.
