Summary: Great but not very Scary!
Review: Warning: Spoilers!This is a great Movie. It's not very scary though. This would probably be because It is so well known, and there have been so many send ups, you sort of know what's happening. Also like most Horror movies, you can tell who's going to die and who's going to live. It's music doesn't sound that Original because it's been used so many times after the movie. The Movie's story would've been Original when it was made, but the story is well known today. The Movie stars John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Heather Langenkamp, Amanda Wyss, Jsu Garcia, Johnny Depp, Charles Fleischer, Joseph Whipp, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. The only thing really bad about this Movie was the weak ending. You would have thought Freddy or Nancy would have died. But no, they came up with this lousy it's just a dream and you can't hurt me any more ending. Also the amount of blood used for Glenn's death was far too much! You really should buy this Movie! It's great. My real rating for the Movie would be 6/5 stars!

Summary: Best one of the series
Review: This is by far the best nightmare in the series. The dvd stinks, of course, but the movie is awesome. The movie is simple as this: A nightmare stalker stalks, and kills, people in their dreams. Period. If you have not seen this, you probably don't think that sounds too exciting, do you? Wrong! This movie is packed with action. It is a very creepy and eerie film about a demonic killer, Freddy Krueger, killing people in their dreams. I seem to have already explained enough to you about the movie, so now I will give you my opinion. My opinion: I like this movie a whole lot. This sort of opened new doors to the horror genre, creating not just a slasher movie, but a slasher movie with spice. By that I mean that it was a new sort of slasher movie. Killing people in their nightmares? I couldn't have possibly thought of that! Wes Craven rules! If you are thinking of starting up a Nightmare on Elm Street collection, and you have none of them at all, here are the only ones in the series that are REALLY worth owning: A Nightmare on Elm Street (original)
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors
Wes Cravens New Nightmare
Freddy vs. Jason Or, if you want to TOTALLY experience the Nightmare on Elm Street, simply go to a place that sells dvds and pick up the Nightmare on Elm Street Collection. WARNING: 3 OUT OF 7 OF THE MOVIES SUCK!

Summary: Extremely Creepy
Review: So, as most of you know, I am a huge fan of horror and Freddy and I have to say that this movie has to be one of the best horror out there! ( Besides the Exorcist and Psycho and movies like that! ) Anyways-I saw this over at a friends house when I was 12 and it really freaked me out! Just the feel of a badly burned psychopathic mad man with knives for fingers made me quiver a bit. Now, being 15, it's not a scary but still quite good! The acting in it was good, except for some lines that Heather Langenkamp gave, she put too much emotion in them. But it was one of those movies filled with comic relief and terror. I only have 2 arguments with it...Why didn't Freddy kill more people, and why only the people in Elm Street? And the continous sequels! They all sucked except for New Nightmare and Freddy Vs. Jason! I don't know why critics shun horror movies? But this was one that they should have given more credit to. The plot was well formed ( Child murderer gets off free and the parents burn him to death then he wants to seek revenge forever and always on the teens who still live there. ) and the acting and score was really good. Definitaly better than the Friday series in which the star didn't show up until the 2nd and even then he wasn't the icon he is now! But this is a review for Nightmare on Elm Street, so I'll stay close to home on this one! To finish it up, it was a great horror movie classic and I highly recommend it to almost any other movie out her! Take my advice, I know my movies!!

Summary: **** 1/2
Review: An entertaining and well-crafted horror tale involving four teenagers who experience a shared nightmare about a disfigured child-killer named Freddy, who comes back from the dead to kill them. The plot device of share dreams, where reality and nightmare are difficult to distinguish is a clever and frightening one. The supernatural killer threatens to slaughter the teens while they sleep - playing on everyone's childhood fears about falling asleep and never waking up. So great was this film's popularity that Freddy became a perverse sort of pop star. Supposedly inspired by true events.

Summary: Don't bother.....
Review: (Instead of reviewing a film you probably already know, I stick to DVD special features) Those Extras: Commentary: Interesting chat with Craven, Langenkamp, Saxon, and DP Haitkin. Glaring absence is Englund, which loses major points. Overall: Well, that was fun. The audio commentary is even ripped off from the 1994 laser disc release, so this is just BEGGING for a Special Edition. The 20 year anniversary is next year, so stay tuned. Hell, if New Line can trick-out a DVD like Texas Chainsaw III.....

Summary: 'This is God!'
Review: In 1984 i was only 8 years old. Wes Craven was already a seasoned horror filmmaker and making waves like John Carpenter before him whether positive or negative.
When I am asked what the greatest horror movie of all time is I will always answer ' The Exorcist' but am quick to rebuff 'Now ask me what my favourite horror movie is...' where i will be heard to reply 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'!Why is this so...simple,because it is awesome!
More deserving of a DVD release than any of its sequels put together this is simply one of the most well crafted, atmospheric and imaginative films in the horror genre. The idea that if you die in your dreams then you die in the real world is a belief stemming back through religion and psychology for some time. How afraid are you when you wake up before hitting the ground? You are panting, terrified and it is only amplified by the adrenaline running through your system.'A Nightmare On Elm Street' captures this essence of fear and brings an unwholesome visual embodiment to it in the form of Freddy Krueger(Robert Englund).
Although this movie like all horror movies will not win any awards for acting it never lets itself become as cheesy as its sequels. Sure Jsu Garcia hams it up in a stereotypical fashion as bad boy Rod Lane but he is never in danger of becoming a parody nor is Ronee Blakley as Marge Thompson our hero Nancy's(Heather Langenkamp) alcoholic mum.
Robert Englund brings a bravado to this role that most theatre actors would bring to Richard III if given the chance and it is this performance that drives this fim above all else. Freddy truly has an essence of pure evil about him just like Michael Myers before him. Robert Englund adds dimension to Freddy making him believable no matter the unbelievable premise.Run Nancy run.
Wes Craven shows gusto in his film making unlike later over the top efforts such as Scream 2 & 3.His is a haunting vision of suburban terror that only affects the youth of Elm Street. The scene when they are arriving at the high school and the ghostly children can be seen on the knowle skipping rope and singing the nursery rhyme is one of my all time favourite scenes in any horror movie.
I will not bore you with plot details as other reviews you have read will already devulge that information. I only wished to express to you the long lasting efect that this film has had on me...as freddy himself puts in an alley chase with Tina(Amanda Wyss)'This Is GOD!'

Summary: Interesting concept poorly delivered
Review: I think people are more scared of the IDEA of getting killed in your dreams and not being able to wake up and save yourself than they are of this movie. Because, I gotta tell ya, it wasn't scary. Yeah the idea of seeing one of your freinds being helplessly dragged around the ceiling while cuts start forming on her is unnerving, but really I was just waiting for people to die. This movie didn't suck me in one bit, didn't make me believe anything other than Freddy could very well be the most evil man in the slasher genre. He specifically targeted kids when he was alive, and that creeped me out more than thinking of him as a dream haunter. I don't know. Talks of a prequel are coming to fruition, and I think THAT would be a truly terrifying film. Skip this and go for what I consider to be the scariest film of all time, "Halloween." It's way better than this one.

Review: Oh!!! I hated it not a good or scary movie at all. Wes Craven makes the most terrible movies ever. I regreat for wanting to see it WHAT WAS I THINKING. This isn't scary It's just sick thank goodness freddy's dead. The most terrible thing about it that freddy has a good scense of hummer he's suppose to be evil and he lookes fake to.
