A Nightmare On Elm Street (Classic Horror)

A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
Directed by Wes Craven
Starring Robert Englund, Johnny Depp & Heather Langenkamp

Ok ok so I want to mention classic these will majoritly be must buys! and what better way to start it than a film thats getting released this week in another attempt on cashing in on classics altho the remake does look snappy! this original is gonna be a nightmare to top! (oh dear)

So where do i start Wes Craven Horror LEGEND! Johnny Depp earliest lead roll now hollywood superstar and Freddy Krueger possibly in the list of most memorable horror villians EVER. You put all that in a pot of blood and nightmares and you get a legend of a movie.

premise of the movie is this freddy was a child killer and the locals of elm st wanted more than to see him in prison so they toke it upon themselves to burn him alive and bury the body. unfortuanately he is BACK and in the the remaining children of the elm st. dreams! so its up to all the kids to stay awake and think of a plan to get ridd of him but without parents help (because of course no one believes them) this is a hard task for anybody.....

this film is filled with great laughs, great characters, great gore and great actors! ill admit it hasn't aged well so maybe the remake will be a nice homage but lets not forget where all stories start tho

deffinate BUY IT! but avoid most of the sequals 3 aka dream warriors is possibly the best of all of them but even them most dont compare to the original.
