...he had knives for fingers...

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2002)

This is not really the best horror film ever made, but still decent. Wes Craven tried to make it be more than it was. He did not want to admit that all he was making was a low budget horror flick. Robert Englund instead played Freddy Kruger, the child murderer who became a favorite of many horror fans around the world.
The film was delayed for so long because many producers believed that the plot was unbelievable as a killer who kills people in their dreams IS pretty unbelievable. But, it was Craven's idea, not mine. I will admit that it was a good horror movie, but it was very bloody and graphic.
See this if you like horror movies or if you liked FRIDAY THE 13TH.
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET gets 3/5.
