A Horror Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2015)

Wes Cravens stands as one of the best horror movie directors of all time. And with good reason. The man knows what he is doing. A Nightmare on Elm Street proves this point. The idea of a man that attacks us when we are most vulnerable (dreams) is terrifying to say the least and oozes with originality. One of the things I love about this movie is that it has many thought provoking ideas which are not usual in horror/slasher movies. Also if you're a fan of gore and cool, 80's bloody props, you are likely to really enjoy this movie. A must watch for any horror fan, A Nightmare on Elm Street is an incredibly entertaining movie that not only has creepy visuals, but actually engages the brain.
