Still a Great Film and Still Wes Craven's Best Film

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2010)

When Nancy and her friends have terrible nightmares about a Burned, scarred man in a tattered, red & black shirt with a Hat and Finger Knives, hell starts breaking loose on who's going to believe them (Well more like Nancy). If Freddy Krueger kills you, there is no coming back. You die for real, it's reality.
I really love how Wes Craven was able to keep the action so packed into one with this film. Besides other greats like Scream & The Hills Have Eyes, they don't come close to the capacity of scares that A Nightmare on Elm Street has. I think Wes did an excellent job on this film. I just loved the entire concept of the film.
I think the dreams idea was very good. There are many things that I found well done with this film - The acting was beautiful as most of the characters where putting out there emotion whether they didn't believe in Krueger or not. The Design on the Boiler room was great, I mean I love how maze like it looked, how you had stairs and then if someone walked and Krueger jumps out from behind. I mean the Boiler room scenes where great. And as usual the music was weirdly awesome.
I don't mind the new Remake (Which In fact I found my 2nd fav Remake) though it will never live up to the Original. 9/10
