Review
This is a great film. I must of seen this one about 100 times and it never stops on thrills. Wes Craven is a genius, I couldn't of made it any better, and for those kind of effects, it's like watching something from the 21st century. All and all, it was the best in the series, and best film ever. Go see it right now! Get your coats on and off to Blockbuster! Story
From modern horror master Wes Craven (Scream, Scream 2) comes a timeless shocker that remains the standard bearer for terror.
Nancy (Heather Lagenkamp)is having grisly nightmares. Something monstrous wants to kill her. Meanwhile, her highschool friends, who are having the very same dream, are being slaughtered in their sleep by the hideous fiend of their shared nightmares. When the police ignore her explanation, she herself must confront the killer in his shadowy realm.
Featuring John Saxon (Enter the Dragon) and Johnny Depp in his first starring role as well as mind-bending special effects, this horror classix gave birth to one of the most infamous undead villains in cinematic history. Reportedly named Freddy Krueger after a kid who had bullied him in school, writer-director Craven hatches a shock-fest from hell that "goes straight to the heart of terror" (Seattle Times).
