One of the quintessential and classic horror films of the 80's and one in which not only inspired multiple sequels but terrified legions of film viewers for generations to come. The original being the most terrifying of the entire series, and one in which made Freddy Kruger an icon in the horror genre and a staple in the modern era. Gory, terrifying and imaginative is some of the words that comes to mind when one discusses this film. Its nightmare sequences are truly frightening as the tension builds to an almost unbearable point. The pacing of this film is methodical and Robert Englund taking on his most famous of roles does a fantastic job portraying the evil Freddy Kruger. Wes Craven also makes a name for himself with one of the truly most frightening and gory films of its generation. What can easily cross over into the hokey manages to stay the course and truly terrify the viewer, showing that all attached to this film did there best to maintain not only the films credibility but maintain its terror soaked tension.
