A Nightmare on Elm Street: The King of Horror Films

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2010)

I am proud to say that A Nightmare on Elm Street is not only my favorite horror film, but my favorite film of all genres. What I love about this film is how deep it is. You really have to watch this film a few times to pick up on the deeper meaning of the film.
The effects are practical and perfect for its time. The score is unsettling and plain awesome. The script is solid. The acting is good. (There are a few scenes where Amanda and Heather fall flat, but the majority of their screen time is flawless). The direction is fantastic.
This is just the perfect horror film that is actually scary and not reliant on jump scares.
Any horror fan is sure to love it.
