When Fred used to be Darker and Scary

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2008)

This is the movie that got me into the genre. Wes Craven proves he is a great director and writer by bringing a new icon into the genre. In the early 80's all the slasher were Hallowee or Friday the 13th Rip offs, but Wes Craven brought something new to the table. He added the supernatural element and a lot of bloody creative killings. All the characters are great in this movie. Robert Englund plays a very scary Fred Krueger (When Freddy used to be scary), Heather Langenkamp does a great job as the scream queen of the movie and the rest are great too (Johnny Deep, Nick Corri, Amanda Wyss and John Saxon).
This is when Freddy used to be scary so don't miss this classic!!!
