Horrific, Good Idea, All Around A Great Horror Film.

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2003)

To tell you the truth i am really sad about horror films. i watch almost any horror film that is on t.v so i think i am a fair judge of good horror films.
I personaly think the nightmare on elm street films are all classic horror films(Freddys Revenge being an exception) and i dont think im alone having the idea that the first is by far the best. Heather Langenkamp fits her role superbly as does Johnny Depp and they both put good performances. in my opinion Wes Craven is one of the best horror directors ever and the was another stroke of horror genius. Freddy Krueger is a pretty scary bad guy there is no question about that, and i think Robert Englund does just what Craven wanted him to do, put on a great voice and also pulls off some of the comedic lines perfectly. The idea is great and i think that is what makes it better than the others it is an original idea cause the others were said to just be trying to build on the sucsess of the first films idea and to be fair Dream Warriors did that well. But all around i think nightmare on elm street is by far one of the greatest horror films ever made.

9/10
