Eehh... Overrated? Yes mr.Craven I'm afraid so.

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2000)

Since I've now drawn everybody's attention to this comment, I might aswell explain it all. This was not a bad movie. But it wasn't really a that kind of masterpiece. In a horror-way it's a true piece of art, but as a movie it won't rank high up on my list.
Sure, I enjoyed it's originality, and Craven's highly entertaining directing and with holy Robert Englund (ye, I know, he's swedish, but he's a classic) as mr. FREDDY KRUEGER, one of the coolest and creepiest characters in a movie.
But the movie fails in being so filled with plastic acting, with the notable exception of Depp. He's always good. It's also a little bore that the same things happens all the time, and in the end it wasn't scary. Maybe I just had to high expectations.
Well, It was a good movie, and in the horrogenre it's a classic. I will keep it in my film-collection, but it will just be because of the importance of it.
6.5/10
