a true horror classic

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2000)

One of the greatest slasher horrors of all time, A Nightmare on Elm Street is a genuine film masterpiece by Wes Craven. Filled with startling special effects and heart-pounding suspense, A Nightmare on Elm Street gives you a feeling of adrenaline. The acting is not so great, yet Johnny Depp (his first film) gives a great performance.
***SPOILER****Freddy Kruger, a terryfying child murderer, was killed in a burning warehouse where he took his victims. Now, he comes to a group of teenagers in their dreams. However, if he kills you in your dream, you'll be dead in real life.***END OF SPOILER*** Freddy, as the series progresses, becomes more and more smart-ass. Yet in this film he is pure evil.
I recommend this film to anybody who loves horror. A true great classic. Wes Craven at his best.
