The ultimate movie, an underated classic.

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2001)

Without doubt, the best movie of all time. Forget your Godfathers and your Citizen Kanes; this is simply the best concept of all time. Wes Craven deserves a Knighthood for creativity for coming up with the dream-stalker plot and Robert Englund should be the highest paid actor in Hollywood for his performances throughout the series. We all know that Nightmare lacks a little in presentation and acting, but Craven's resourcesfulness is phenominal. This is a premier example of slick movie-making, everything that is here is a necesity to the growth of the film. Just imagine Nightmare with the budget and studio backing of something like Armageddon or Titanic; people would have been terrified for years to come and we might have actually seen some decent sequels.
I have no wish to rant for pages on everything that is brilliant about this movie, there isn't space. But, I advise everyone who does not rate this movie to rent or buy it, forget Scream and watch it again. Give it a chance as a classic movie, not just "some dumb slasher 'pic". and
