Gripping story with well-crafted characters

There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

OK so I know this is classic but still I was not expecting it to be good. But I was wrong and this one just rocks. Freddy is a terrifying psycho whom you wont want anywhere near you ever, especially not in your dreams. Ladies were hot and acting was good enough and Freddy was the best. So if you still haven't watched this one yet and wanna watch a nice horror movie then just watch it.

As I look down at all the reviews I see mostly 8-10/10s... I can only assume that these reviewers are easily pleased! I have never watched Nightmare On Elm Street until today I thought I had been missing out now I wish I could have 1 hour 30 mins back to spend doing something else. The story was total garbage, very predictable and poorly scripted. The villain I consider weak Freddy is not that scary in comparison to other viallains from other movies! Movie was so boring I really could have fallen asleep.

So after Halloween and Friday The 13th,a new horror film was coming that was unexpectedly become a new horror film that would be going on for years to come,A Nightmare On Elm Street which focuses on the humorous killer Freddy Kruger who begins to haunt young Nancy's dreams unaware,she's get a police officer daddy and also,she's a pretty strong lady and won't take no sh*t from any one. When A Nightamre On Elm Street came out,it was booming,it was the new Halloween/Friday The 13th and as I said,it got another bunch of films and spin offs and a remake. The film is a brilliant classic,the acting was also brilliant especially from Heather Langenkamp who to this day,remains one of my favourite final girls along with Laurie from Halloween and Alice and Ginny from Friday The 13th:Part 1&2. Robert England was the only one in the three big horror franchises that actually appeared on screen and had actual lines,Michael and Jason just killed people and stared at people angrily. Johnny Depp also did a fantastic job in this doing an amazing performance as Nancys brother who was weird to see in this and even reappeared in the sixth Nightmare On Elm which was most likely the worst. A Nightmare On Elm Street is definitely a A+!!

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.
