The perfect horror! What a classic!

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2018)

Thanks to Wes Craven's vision of the ultimate villain, he created one of the greatest horror films ever. Robert England portrayed antagonist Freddy Krueger so convincingly that this menacing character was bound to give us nightmares for years to come. In a time before CGI was so commonly used, the visual and special effects were incredible, perfectly conveying the nightmare world of the victims. The idea of a ruthless killer killing teenagers in their sleep is scary enough; now add blades for fingers, a constant foreboding atmosphere, scary music and suspense and a classic is born. Constantly nominated as one of the best horror films.
