As horror giants go, Elm Street is fairly camp today. But a genre classic nonetheless

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2020)

The story is well known at this stage. Wes Craven's 1984 classic introduced the infamous Freddy Krueger and also a very young Johnny Depp. Many sequels were spawned; majority of which are surprisingly decent. Robert Englund will be forever known for his performance which brought Krueger to life. There are a few plot holes but the story is just so interesting that you don't really take much notice, and the ending is truly a classic.
