One of the most scariest n atmospheric movies of all time.

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2017)

I first saw this in the late 80s on a VHS. Used to own the entire franchise of this film on the VHS. Now a proud owner of this franchise n the remake on dvds. Revisited it recently on a DVD. This movie is one of the most atmospheric and scariest movies of all time. One of my all time fav horror film. It is one of the best work of writer/director Wes Craven's career. A dead psycho in a sweater, with razorblades for fingers is stalking kids in their sleep. He is able to murder the kids in their sleep. Thats scary enuff. Robert Englund is justifiably terrifying as Freddy, hes subtle and more quietly menacing. Veteran actor John Saxon n Ronee Blakley did well in their performances. Its also worth noting that this was Johnny Depps acting debut and he gets one of the films most enjoyable death sequence. The movie is not boring at all. The tension n suspense is adequate. This movie introduced us to one of the most memorable horror villains.
