A Very Original Horror Classic.

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2003)

As a child, my older brother would always scare me with stories of Freddy Krueger. You see i was at that age where my parents wouldnt allow me to watch anything like A Nightmare on Elm Street because they didnt want me waking up in the middle of the night and asking to sleep in there bed. He would tell me the history of Mr. Krueger and that if i went to sleep he would get me in my dreams. The thought of this at that age really scared me. A few years later, i was a little older and i was home alone. I took my brothers copy of ANOES and watched. I was extremely scared. Freddy was a great horror villian. I just saw this movie recently, me being much older then i was the last time i saw it and more mature. This was a good movie. Now, not so scary, but definitly a classic and it was very original. It was also very entertaining and really made you think about your dreams. This movie does live on as a class, although it was almost killed by the all of the horrible sequels, you were no long entertained and or scared while watching freddy, you were suppost to be laughing because freddy went from being a horror monster to the next Jim Carrey. Please avoid all of the sequels besides Wes Craven's New Nightmare and watch this. A Classic.
