Awesome Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2015)

Wes Craven died recently, and I was shocked that, not only had he died, but I'd never even seen one of his films! So, I watched his two most iconic films, "Scream" and this film. If I had to choose a favorite, it'd probably be "Scream", but I still adored this film, even though it has a few flaws.
The main flaw, in my opinion, is that, when a character dies at the beginning of the film and Nancy goes to school, nobody's talking about it or acknowledging it in any way at all. I mean, a student at this school is found brutally killed and nobody seems to really care? I mean, in "Scream" the school made a pretty big deal at the murder of another student.
It also seemed to get a little goofy when Nancy set up booby traps and they attacked Freddy. However, the film does seem to have a little bit of humorous and, as I've heard, the other films in the franchise have way more gags. However, what DOES work in the film? Practically everything else! The whole film has that classic 80s feel, which is always really enjoyable, the dream sequences are wonderfully surreal and weird, and I was constantly engaged throughout the film. It was a really fun, entertaining, interesting, and creative horror film.
If you're a big horror fan, than you've probably already seen the film, and if you haven't, than you totally should! It is definitely one of the absolute best horror films I've seen, and I believe, personally, that all of the hype that this film has gotten is very well deserved. Way to go, Wes Craven!
