not so much a nightmare as a dream

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2004)

this has got to be craven's best ever horror work. don't get me wrong, i loved scream but it was too funny to be scary, this was terror at its most terrific. everything about this movie had enough potential to give anyone nightmares for a long time.
robert englund as usual is fantastic, he is flawless as the most infamous, evil horror villain ever. amanda wyss and heather langenkamp are also spectacular and even johhny depp was gd.
the death scenes were amazing, and so were all the nightmare sequences especially the one were nancy is running through the town and freddy chases here home, that was hilariously scary.
my only query, or problem, is the unnecessary ending, it left the film open to pointless sequels and it just made no sense.
but over all, it is fantastic
