I enjoyed it... surprisingly

Rating: 7/10 (29 August 2009)

OK I don't usually like slasher films. I feel like there all the same. Its always 4 teenagers, two girls, two boys. Two of them have sex, 3 of them die. That kinda was the case in this film but A Nightmare On Elm Street has something else to it that makes it better than most slasher films. The main thing is that it has a brilliant storyline and thats what makes films scary and thats whats made The Omen such a good film. Although it doesn't seem realistic it is slightly believable.
I must say the acting was pretty terrible in this film. And the last scene when the woman gets pulled into the house by Freddy is probably the worst effects I have seen in a while.
Its a shame that they had to ruin this film with a stupid amount of sequels and the abysmal Freddy Vs. Jason. But the original is a great movie and I recommend anyone to watch this film. 8/10
