The initiation of Freddy

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2006)

When people think of icons for horror movies someone is bound to always include freddy on the list. After watching Friday The Thirteenth Part 1 and finding out jasons mother was the killer, i was totally peeved. However 2 weeks ago TV2 in N.Z screened this bad boy. This movie is a classic and is as another reviewer said genre defining. It created a slew of sequels and the awesome freddy vs jason movie. This movie is actually really good for its time and even today its better than most of the horros being released. The first half i found to be quite suspenseful and the mere fact that freddy comes back at the end to kill Nancys mother was brilliant, also loved the way the car was being controlled by freddy at the end. If you like movies where the monster is in your head then watch this, its great, its pretty tame compared to freddy vs jason but is still throughly enjoyable. I could go on about how gr8 this is but ill stop and just say: If your into horror thats good watch this, If not watch something else.
