A nightmare all right!

Rating: Null/10 (4 November 2001)

This is a classic for so many reasons. It has suspense and horror. The story is unique and the killer himself is scary. In the sequels he is a real idiot with a book full of annoying wisecracks. In this he is scary and evil. The killings are good and the nightmares are interesting enough. The movie just hasn't got the atmosphere that scares me though. No dark woods or abandoned houses. It just has a boiler room and some bad dreams. Even though this doesn't really affect it I still enjoyed the movie. Johnny Depp makes a great first performance and Heather Langenkamp is good. 6.5 out of 10. I still prefer Jason to Freddy.
