A Nightmare On Elm Street

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2019)

Wes Craven's classic "A Nightmare On Elm Street" is an iconic and beloved horror film for a reason. The film opens up showing the audience a brief glimpse of Freddy Krueger, the now beloved horror movie icon portrayed sadistically by Robert Englund. The next we see him terrorize teenage Tina (Amanda Wyss). The film centers around Tina's best friend Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) who soon watches in terror as her friends fall victim to the evil maniac lurking in their dreams.
Everything about this film is brilliant and it is no wonder it is often cited as a favorite among movie fans. The film is nothing like the sequels to follow in that it is a dark film and not although there are a few funny moments, it is a straight up horror movie. This film has and will continue to be considered one of the top films of its genre.
