introduces a new iconic villain

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 2016)

as far as horror films goes,this is one of the best in modern times.the premise is unique,as far as I know.but I could be wrong on that count.the acting is good,the dialogue fairly well written.i don't think it's award winning or anything.it has a villain that is instantly iconic.the characters are all sympathetic,so you are invested in what happen to them.of course,like in most horror films,most of the characters will be killed,but you don't who will go first.Johny Depp has his screen but here,and he still managed to get work in the industry and became a huge star,so I guess this movie wasn't a career killer.if you haven't seen it,i won't give anything away.i will simply say that it is not as graphically bloody(except for one scene)as most horror films made today.for me,A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 7/10
