Actually, THE horror movie of the 80's

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2001)

I must admit, I AM a really horror movie fan. But a lot of these films are just crap. Wes Craven directed some really bad movies, but some of them are good, especially ANOES Part I and the Scream Trilogy. The actual vote for this horror-masterpiece is 6.9. Sorry, no, this film is far better, I would give it 9.5 You don't have to watch the sequels, but the first one gives you an idea how a really good horror film COULD be. The name Wes Craven stands, in my opinion, not for SCREAM, but for FREDDY KRUEGER, one of the best and most famous film murders ever. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET made me feel really frighten. The story keep you awake, imagine Freddy would visit YOU during your dreams... I don't think, Robert Englund is a superb actor, but anyway he is the perfect choice for this role. You can't be a true horror film fan without watching this film: Just watch this cult movie.
