Real Genre classic

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2002)

I have a few things to say about Nightmare on elm street.
1.Its badly acted
2.The script is awful
But having said that its better then just about all the sequels apart from new nightmare and possibly number 3.
Craven had already had some other movies but this is usually the one he is remembered for.
Robert Englund really steals the movie as Freddy who in this one is always in the darkness and only has a few of the one liners which popped up all throughout most of the sequels...mostly in the awful nightmare on elm street 4.
I like to watch this movie again and again...though not as good as some other movies from this genre it has inspired movies such as Candyman.
4 out of 5
