A classic...

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2003)

This is the one that started it all. Freddy Kruger will always be the most interesting horror movie character, over Jason or Michael Mysers simply because of how innovative and creative he is with his kills. You can't help but like Freddy because he's so cool. He represents a welcomed change from the straight up, 'see someone, kill them' mantra that both Myers and Jason share. Seeing A Nightmare on Elm Street after all these years, it's still effective. One of the best low budget horror films, starting the phenomenon of the iconic Freddy Kruger.
