More creative than the average horror flick.

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2005)

OK, Ronee Blakely's acting is more like something out of an Ed Wood movie, but "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is truly a horror classic. Specifically, it's more creative than most of them, due to the fact that Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) has to go inside peoples' dreams to kill them. His blade-fingers are like a character in and of themselves. This is one movie that no horror-fetishist can afford to miss. One day, I think that we're all going to look back on these horror classics like we nowadays look back on the sci-fi/horror flicks of the '50s and early '60s. Just try and go to sleep after watching this movie.
