Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2012)

This film is Amazing and in my opinion is the best out of the elm street films,most of the other elm street films are lame and will never compare to this one.This film has it all it has the creepiness the horror the blood and gore and the atmosphere not to mention its very well acted! which none of the sequels were.I Don't like part 2 or part 5 or part 6.Part 3 and part 4 are okay and I Like Wes Cravens new nightmare,i didn't mind that one and that's probably because Freddy was a total BadAss in that movie and he was very menacing!. But the original movie was still the best one and it will always be my favourite one and i don't think that will ever change.it just seemed to me that none of the sequels had what this film had,they didn't have the same creepy atmosphere that this film had and they didn't have the same intensity that this film had either so i just couldn't get into the sequels as much as i got into this one.this film was so terrifying i felt like i was actually in it! and none of the others did that for me but this film had everything!. I thought The lead girl played by Heather Langenkamp was very likable and i wanted her to win against Freddy and i found myself cheering for her throughout the whole movie.With the sequels i couldn't seem to do that with the main Characters and that's why i think this one is the best out of the lot. The only sequel that came close to being as scary as the first film is Wes Cravens New Nightmare and I'd Say it's My Second favourite elm street film.
the Original Elm street film has a lot of fun and creepy moments in it like there's a nightmare scene at one point in the movie when Heather sees a dead person in a body bag standing in her school Hallway calling her name and later there is another scene where the dead person in the body-bag gets dragged away leaving a huge trail of blood behind. that was one of the creepiest scenes in the whole movie! and there was another creepy scene in the film when she sees the dead person in the body bag again only this time she sees cockroaches coming out of its mouth! and she sees them under the body bag!. that's what's so good about this film you have tons of creepy moments instead of lame jump scares like you have in the sequels and this film was also very suspenseful and entertaining and i thought the ending was pretty good too when Heather fights with Freddy and she sets a bunch of bobby traps for him and he falls victim to all of them and then she overpowers Freddy and takes him down!.The film had a great pace and a great build up to the ending and the fight between Freddy and Heather at the end of the movie was cool and well edited and Heather was a BadAss! in this movie! she kicked Freddy's Ass! and i quite liked the twist at the end of the movie too it was a twist that surprised me so i thought it was a good twist. All in all this was a great film with great acting and great Characters and it was by far the creepiest and best film in the series!. This is one of the best horror films iv'e ever seen!.
