A decent horror movie, but not amazing like many reviews would make you think. (MILD SPOILERS)

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2014)

A nightmare on elm street has scares, and some interesting concepts, both of which are very memorable. The problem with this film really was the I thought the part with (SPOILER) what's-his-name going to jail.(END SPOILER) It didn't fit in a horror film, and did not have very much relevance in the film. This really put a damper in the excitement, I thought. The other thing that wasn't so great was the acting. There were many cheesy lines, and the acting wasn't great either- not horrible, but it not great. Other than that, this movie delivers. It's scary, creative, and appropriately weird. So I would recommend this to anyone who's a fan of Wes Craven, or 1980s horror films. A Nightmare on Elm Street is a classic horror flick, even if it's not as good as it is said to be. I give it 7.4/10 (three and a half stars).
