One Of Craven & Horror's Best!

Rating: 7/10 (27 February 2012)

Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Ronee Blakely, Amanda Wyss, Jsu Garcia and Johnny Depp star in Wes Craven's 1984 horror film. Teenage girl, Nancy Thompson (Langenkamp) and her friends are having nightmares about a mysterious fiend with creepy razors on his right hand stalking them. When her friends become murdered by him, Nancy learns he's a child-murderer named, Freddy Krueger (Englund) who was burned by an angry mob of parents avenging the tortured kids of Elm Street and now wants revenge by haunting their kids in their dreams. Soon, Nancy starts her own battle with Freddy before she becomes his next victim. Wyss plays Nancy's best friend, Tina Gray who is the first to fall victim to Freddy, Garcia plays Nancy's other friend, Rod Lane who is falsely accused of murdering Tina, Depp plays Nancy's boyfriend, Glen Lantz in his film debut, Blakely plays Nancy's mother, Marge and Saxon plays Nancy's father, Donald who is a police lieutenant. This 80's classic is definitely one of Craven & horror's best, Englund and Langenkamp are terrific and who can forget Charles Bernstein's excellent score. I highly recommend this.
