maxmages Actually, I hate horror movies. This movie is very interesting and has given a new twist to everything I despise of horror movies.It's finally a movie with its own stories that stands for itself, that acting is good and understandable despite the clearly much older actor than the characters (that goes for all), broken ones are good and I was the dark atmosphere who pervades all the movie.But I like this here in the dark literally pat tapping most of the time, I hate it when movies are just dark because we watch movies I want to see what happens in most parts of the movie play during the day or are so lit up that you even scenen at night recognize enough I also like the fact that we end up with little to know about Freddy that gives the whole a mystery touch and one is willing to work with the protagonists to find out more.I also like the fact that people really fight against Freddy and do not just run away that one sees far too rarely. There are some parts in film that you do not know if Freddy is real or not, or if you are in a dream or not that is very good for the movie experience (Why do horror movies of the 21st century all have the same ideas and horror movies and films of that time are unique and different? One would think that today where more time has passed and there is more technology people would have more ideas?)The practical effects are all really good except at the end of the film Passau's a picture in because you can clearly see it's a doll and it gets laughable, even though it's not even a second, it's a big deal the last second of the movie is.I probably will not believe that, but I found the film to be 0% scary but at least incredibly interesting and exciting.Unlike many other horror movies and you really swear the danger here and you're excited and want to see people win, this movie is really exciting, interesting, had a good sorry, great acting and I also like Freddy Kruger's voice in places really funny.

elijahbutler-40119 Before the 80s, horror movies were very dark and original and they each had their own concepts and sub genres in horror. But when this movie came out, that changed EVERYTHING! Wes Craven has created one of the most iconic slashers in all movie history, ''Freddy Krueger'' played by the legendary Robert Englund and he is STILL known as one of the greatest to this day! This is a horror movie that knew what it was! It had likable characters, a VERY clever plot, great acting, and a very scary villain! I would actually consider A Nightmare on Elm Street the greatest slasher movie since Halloween! Nancy played by Heather Langenkamp was very good in this movie! I thought her character was very strong and was actually one of the few people in this movie who was ACTUALLY concerned about all these nightmares her and her friends are experiencing. Johnny Depp was also very good in this movie, considering that this was his FIRST movie he ever made, which lead him to a big career in the future and all of the other actors were good in this movie as well. A Nightmare on Elm Street REALLY surprised me when I watched it for the 1st time and as a horror fan, this is DEFINITELY one of my all time favorites! And as a low budget horror movie, this movie STILL works to this day! Some of the certain effects they used to make Freddy come to life in this film were very intense and scary and are still scary today! Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street is definitely a must watch for any horror fan and it is definitely a living masterpiece and of the best of the slashers and horror alone and of course I'm gonna give A Nightmare on Elm Street a 10/10!

DG_Boy Saw this in a DVD.Really this is a very terrific film and a little different from others.The story is good.And this theory is awesome that whenever a person sleep he comes in his or her dream and kills.This is very terrifying guys.The direction was awesome from Wes craven.The screenplay was nice.The dialouges were good.The acting were good from all.So if you are looking for a good horror film with mystery and killings then surely watch this one.Coz it has some terrific horror and killing scenes with a mystery in it.

Ilikehorrormovies This is a really good flick. yeah sure they're some pointless sequel but this one stands the best like bigger than the remake. The characters are well develop. The acting convince me that Freddy could be real. This movie is actually worth watching like watch this before you watch the remake; (I haven't watch the remake for a long time) anyways good film recommend it.
