Not my favorite horror film but a good film.

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2009)

A nightmare on Elm street is a good horror film. I don't like it as much as Halloween, but I still think it's a great film. Hey, it's Johnny Depp's first film. So it can't be a bad movie... no i'm only kidding. At a time, I used to think it was horrifying. Now I don't have a problem with the Scream trilogy. But I don't think that being chased by the Ghostfaced guy is that big of a deal. Freddy Krueger is just gross. At times annoying. If he were chasing you and saying something to you then you just want to say"Shut the hell up you crazy bastard"! and walk away. Freddy really is gross. In the first film, he cuts open his stomach and all of this green stuff comes out and he cuts off his finger. He laughs about both. Okay, we know that a group of people joined together to set you on fire because you were a child molester, but it doesn't me you have to kill the teens. Kill the adults. They did it. Freddy Krueger is a scary character, but he's done some nasty things. Like rape a chick with tongues. But that was another movie. The original Nightmare on Elm street is a classic. They had to make a sequel though. Wes Craven directed both A Nightmare on Elm Street and New Nightmare. Those were the only two good Freddy movies. The rest sucked. That's the case with most horror sequels.
The Plot: Many teenagers are being brutally murdered but people don't know how. It turns out that a guy named Freddy Krueger is murdering these teenagers in their sleep.
