A True Classic

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2005)

I was still young when I watched this movie for the first time, probably too young in my opinion. This is without a doubt the scariest idea any movie director as ever come up with, and all due to a great crew and cast, such as the great Wes, or the ever supporting Robert Shaye. It is such a great idea, mostly because of the psychological effect it tends to have on people. It is when we are unguarded and helpless (like in a dream) that we feel most desperate and we can feel the true nature of fear. A note to the cast of course, with such great actors like Robert Englund (they couldn't have chosen a better Freddy), the debut of Johnny Depp or even the under rated Heather Langenkamp. This truly is the scariest movie made and any other sequel (except for the new nightmare) is somewhat low (especially the fourth and the fifth).
