A Horror Classic

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2001)

Wes Craven's Nightmare on Elm Street is a classic of the horror genre. A tale of a demon who haunts the teens of Elm Street, stalking and slaughtering them in their dreams. If you die in the dream you die for real. Imaginative and creepy psychological slasher flick with great performances from the leads. Before Freddy became a standup comedian he lurked in the shadows and was actually scary. Very cool slashings(very inventive on the part of Craven) and an atmospheric and surreal setting make you overlook the bad ending in this horror classic. A must for all genre fans. Check it out!!!
