A deftly original and scary horror film.

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2001)

Nightmare On Elm Street is the first horror film I ever saw and to this day it terrifies me. The concept is so unique and and it is made so damn realistic with the incredible acting from the cast and the sheer screen presence of Robert Englund as Freddy. A truly brilliant creation. This is the REAL Nightmare movie. Forget the sequels. They showed too much of Freddy. Here he is seen as a menacing figure cloaked in shadow. No terrible quips or one liners before he kills. Just death straight up. Some truly excellent and inventive death scenes as well.. An absoloute must see for any horror fan and a masterpiece of suspence cinema. Just hope to God they don't remake it.
