I think there's more in this movie than it seems...

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2001)

First of all:I like this movie a lot.It's a great horror movie:shocking and very tense.The atmosphere is great and the movie is one of the most original horror flicks in recent history. Freddy Krueger has become an horror icon like there are but few. But like I said:there's more to this movie than seems at first sight. I don't know whether or not Craven intended it,but it looks like an allegory for teen angst. Freddy is the angst,only affecting the teenagers in the movie.Their parents don't understand/believe the situation,although they had problems with Freddy themselves in the past. The only one who can remove the fear/angst is the teenager herself,believing in herself. This might sound silly,but it sounds nice if you think about it.
