Movie Reviews of A Nightmare on Elm Street
Movie Review: Classic Horror Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this film, along with the rest of the movies in the series. If you've not seen this, then do yourself a favor and go out and buy it. I recommend this 2 disc version over the older single disc dvd. I already own the box set, but I desided to go out and buy this dvd as well...call me crazy. I found myself enjoying the Special Features disc alot. It has alot of things that the single dvd movie I already owned didn't offer.
Summary of A Nightmare on Elm Street
Wes Craven's 1984 horror film is a better movie than it is generally credited for being. Forget the tawdry sequels; this highly original, almost surrealist work stars Robert Englund as a mutilated monster who kills teenagers during their dreams. Craven, who only directed one Elm Street sequel (Wes Craven's New Nightmare), takes the Hitchcockian step of layering in psychological explanations for the terror and then proving them all irrelevant in the face of mindless evil. The horror in the film is emotionally raw, in contrast to the overimaginative set pieces of most of the sequels that followed; and the final scene is as deeply unsettling as anything Luis Bu?uel ever committed to film. --Tom KeoghDigitally remastered, this is the original Nightmare film that started it all. Written and directed by Wes Craven and starring Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, A Nightmare on Elm Street remains an innovative and shocking horror-fantasy.
