Start of my obsession with slasher films

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2019)

This film, in my opinion, is one of the greatest slasher films in the horror genre. It has a unique idea and storyline. Inventive killings and a great cast. The mixture of humour and cruelty blend well in a film which makes the 90 mins seem like half an hour. The character of Freddy Krueger is so unique and so original, he has become an icon of the 80's. Enough gushing, but this film is amazing.
When killings start in a small town in teenagers sleep, they try and figure out who this mysterious killer is. When questioning parents the truth comes out, resulting in a killing rampage of revenge.
