Great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2004)

Hard to believe, this movie is still this good and scary after all of these years. This is a movie about a teenage girl named Nancy, who is getting haunted in her dreams at night by a mythical creature named Freddy Krueger (Who can hate the guy? Seriously, he's a movie icon.), who is getting revenge for being killed by the townspeople in the forties. The reason to this, is because Freddy Krueger used to kidnap and kill children, and was not put in jail for lack of evidence.
Everyone is working hard in this film. The two people who shine the most though, are John Saxson and Heather Langenkamp. Both seemed like they were having fun in their roles. Let's not forget Robert Englund, for his fantastic performance as Freddy.
The gore isn't what people will truly expect. Sometimes, the gore and deaths are funny, in a Dead-Alive kind of way. But other times, the scenes are amazingly scary, and the fact that Nancy's PARENTS were two of the mob that killed people, make this a shock. Nancy's alcoholic mother is a creep in the film, and is sometimes weirder than Freddy. Don't forget about Johnny Depp getting sucked into the bed! Rating: **** (out of ****.)
