JWB's Nightmare on Elm Street 1984 review

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2016)

Greetings Fanboys and Fangirls everywhere, Halloween is coming close, A time where monsters come out to scary the innocent, a time where Legendary Monsters like Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankinstain return to our media, A time... of Nightmares for he has returned, to murder us in our dreams, a being who refers himself as the Dream Master, A being who would make Jack the Ripper look like on old man... His Name... is Freddy Krueger, He first appeared in a Movie called A Nightmare on Elm Street Released in 1984 and Directed by the Guy who made SCREEM, Wes Craven From the history in this This was one of New Lines first ever successful movie they ever had involvement with, And this is the same movie company that did The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit Trilogy, The Mask, And the Blade Trilogy (Before Marvel got the rights of the Character back) and lets not forget that The 80's in some perspective the Year where Horror movies where taking over the cinema's along side Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, even some Horror movie that where... Frighteningly bad, I'm not sure what was going on there but I'm sure the people where into horror despite of the Ratings.
The Stars of this is Heather Langenkamp as Nancy Thompson (Much to my surprise and I never noticed She was Moto in Star Trek: Into Darkness) Glen Lantz was played by Pirates of the Carabian star himself Johnny Depp (And get this This was his First ever Movie he stared in, That's right Nightmare on Elm Street was the Beginning of Johnny Depp's Movie Star life) John Saxon as Lt. Don Thompson which in my opinion has done a very good job at his role, although trying to hide that fact that Freddy is killing people in there Dreams But I'll get to that later on, Ronee Blakley as Marge Thompson, Who in my opinion is more of a complete wreck, Hell Throughout the film she struggles with Nancy's growing instability from lack of sleep and adds locks to the doors and bars to the windows to try to keep Nancy in and the supposedly at-large killer out, turning to alcohol to deal with the stress, (Which doesn't help) and who is playing Freddy Krueger in this, Why it's non other then Robert Englund himself, Looking at his Wiki file he's done a lot after, He was the Riddler in 2005's The Batman show, He played Vulture in The Spectacular Spider-Man show and Felix Faust in Justice League.
Funny enough I never watched any of the Nightmare movies until I got the Blu-Rays in 2014, And I was like this after watching the first movie Wes Craven & Robert Englund, You Mad son's of Bitch's, Not only did you create a Timeless Horror Movie Classic, But this movie Revalutionazed the Horror marketing, This idea originated from a real event of someone Having a nightmare that he was being chased by some maniac, and when he went to sleep, He died the morning after. And Let me tell you about the origin of Freddy, Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger (a.k.a. The Springwood Slasher) is a child killer responsible for the kidnapping and murder of several children before he is eventually captured. Due to a legal technicality he is released without charge and the parents of the murdered children take the law into their own hands, burning him alive. After his death, Freddy gains the ability to infiltrate and control dreams and uses it to stalk and murder the remaining children of Elm Street. Despite being defeated several times, Freddy repeatedly resurrects himself and continues trying to kill children. Now the fact of some lunatic Murdering people in dreams is pretty terrifying when you put it that way, You can say that this movie is perfect for Halloween, Later on Freddy's movies would go into of Horror comedy, Freddy having his own T.V. Show that resembles The Twilight Zone Freddy vs Jason which put's Freddy against Jason and then there's the Remake in 2010, I will cover them later on but in the mean time, I better have Khadgar put anti-Dream Hacker wards around the place so not Dream-Psycho-Path kills me in my sleep.
I give this move 10 out of 10
