What ever you do...don't fall asleep watching this!

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2000)

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET has to be one of the classic horror films of its time. And personally, it's one of my favorites. Enter Freddy Krueger, a mysterious man who creeps in and out of the shadows of our dreams. He can make sleep for us one of the most horrifying events ever. But it will be okay once we finally wake up right? Well...not if he can help it. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET adds a whole new fear to dreaming. It puts one question in people's minds: "What happens if we die in our dreams?" NIGHTMARE faces that fear and introduces a new type of "boogey-man" that can, in numerous ways, lead us to our demise. What makes Freddy Krueger different from Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, or Leatherface? Freddy has no limitations. In our dreams, practically anything can happen. Freddy can take our worst fears and make them a reality in our sleep. And, in a sense, Freddy Krueger is now a real character. (How many of you have dreamed of Freddy after seeing this movie? I have.) That's what makes NIGHTMARE a classic horror film.
