Dream On

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2015)

Well, I've been a fan of horror movies for a long time, but for some unknown unreason, I've postponed my watch on this classic until yesterday, when I finally got to see it. I must say I'm really surprised with such good project; everything in here works well. There is a great and creepy story, in which the neighborhood kids start dreaming with a dead psycho, who tries killing them during their sleep. Along with such original and creepy story, we have a professional directing that warily does its job; there are tense songs in the very scenes they are required. Also, this film never manages to get boring, considering that spectator easily gets involved in the thread. The acting is, on the other hand, sometimes a little shallow; in some scenes it was evident that the cast was overacting, especially in the scenes related to Tina and her mother. However, out of the horror classics I've seen, "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is the one that surprised me the most, beating films like "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween", reason why I strongly congratulate Wes Craven and everyone involved in this, for such achievement. Thumbs up!
