Way Ahead of its Time!!!

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2013)

This movie is a rare masterpiece that was way ahead of its time, everything from the special effects to the music composition. I can't think of a better original horror film to date.
Lets start with the special effects, the effects used on Freddy's face are incredible. The realistic look of it and the acting from Robert Englund has made this a truly terrifying character for all audiences through the generations.
The film follows the story of Nancy Thompson, a high school student who gets stalked in her dreams by a murderer, Freddy Krueger. Freddy is out to kill her and her neighborhood friends while they sleep. It has a great twist ending that leaves you hanging for more. This movie spawned many sequels and a remake as well.
The acting in this movie portrays the real terror that the characters would be feeling. We are introduced to Johnny Depp for the first time in this movie, he plays the friend and neighbor of the main character, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp). It also features Ronee Blakley as Nancy's mum and Amanda Wyss as Nancy's friend.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves horror/thriller or even scarier classics. 9/10
