A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) Review

A Nightmare On Elm Street is one of the few slasher movies that can actually really scare the shit out of you. This was Freddy Kruegers first appearance, and the movie is basically a film about a killer that kills you in your dreams. The premise itself is what makes this movie so scary. If you fall asleep you die, and I don´t think there is nothing worse than not being able to sleep.

The film itself was unlike anything ever seen. It was a slasher film and was basically just Freddy killing people, but the kills were just awesome since it all happened in the dream world. In the dream world anything is possible, and the movie is never boring thanks to this. Another cool aspect is that you are never sure when a character is asleep or not. The film keeps you on your toes, becuase you have no idea when Freddy is going to appear. The acting is also great and the film never goes for a too serious tone, which in my opinion not too many horror films can pull off and was the reason why the remake wasn´t as much fun as this.

This movie os just one of the few horror movies that gets everything right, and it keeps the viewer entertained throughout. There is never a dull moment, and it´s awesome to see so many imaginative kills too. A Nightmare On Elm Street is a classic and is a movie that should be seen by everyone. I´m giving A Nightmare On Elm Street a 5/5
