The "Jaws" of Horror movies

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2012)

When I was much younger, Nightmare On Elm Street was the first horror film I ever saw and to this day it terrifies me.
The concept is so horrible, and so unique and and it is made so freaking realistic with the incredible acting from the cast and the sheer screen presence of Robert Englund as Freddy. A truly brilliant creation. This is the REAL Nightmare movie. Forget the sequels. They showed too much of Freddy. Here he is seen as a menacing figure cloaked in shadow. No terrible quips or one liners before he kills. Just death straight up. Some truly excellent and inventive death scenes as well.. An absolute must see for any horror fan and a masterpiece of suspense cinema.
