Oh Boy! A five-fingered slasher!

Rating: 7/10 (27 February 2006)

While Jason Voorhes a Neanderthal, Freddy Krueger(Robert Englund) is a total nutshell in the making. Unlike Friday the 13th, "A Nightmare on Elm Street" gives a whole new meaning of slasher films. Some of the scenes got some getting use to at times, I like the part where Johnny Depp's character gets electrocuted in his water-bed. I know electricity and water don't mix, but in a nightmare like this one, it gives a whole new meaning that you don't get electrocutes in baths and pools, but in a water-bed? Get real! Heather Langenkemp role as Nancy will always forever be memorable. The phone scene where my brother tells me was creepy, Freddy's tongue trying to reach Nancy? That'll make anyone's skin crawl. But boy can she fight back! The Freddy Krueger nursery rhyme is the most annoying thing in the movie, if you not careful, you might as well meet your end to him. I liked the movie quite a bit, the latter sequels a lot more exciting though. Enjoy the movie, while you still can! HAHAHAHA!!! Rating 3 out of 5 stars.
