A Nightmare on Elm Street Reviews

If you can make a generation scared to go to bed you did your fucking job as a horror movie. As this is the only good one in this franchise, I loved it. This is proof you don’t need a big budget to make a good movie. Freddy was just scary dude. Plus good cast of characters. 8/10.

Finally watched this classic! Supernatural visual effects were cheesy, but there were a lot of iconic scenes. The most disturbing was the phone scene… Krueger is a pervert

The original Nightmare delivers a terrifying villain and a unique concept that strips away any chance of safety. Freddy is arguably at his best, tearing through the screen into horror icon status. The final few minutes is all that prevents perfection.

Movies like nightmare on elm street remind me how older scary classics just hit different in a better way than most new horror movies cannot

This was so cool and scary now I’m scared to fall asleep

sometimes having insomnia is not that bad!

7.7 - My first watch in over a decade did not disappoint. I first saw this way too young (maybe 9) & the concept really scared me. A killer with superpowers that could kill you in your sleep was terrifying. Now though, this is peak classic campy 80s horror. The acting is pretty bad, the script is frequently laughable, and the bad decisions pile up absurdly quickly. But it’s so much fun, the practical effects are *fantastic*, & Freddy is still the scariest to me of the classic horror villains. I’ve never seen another of this franchise, but I definitely want to soon.

AY NAH WTF DID I JUST WATCH 🤣🤣🤣

May be in the 80s but effects were awful. I’m glad the plot didn’t end with her solving everything by not believing but with that being said why didn’t Freddy just kill her sooner and or a diff ending approach. Sick soundtrack + death scenes, acting is shit. Simply overrated :)

Insane classic and good horror visuals

5.5/10 ik everyone says this is a really good movie but i feel like its kinda overrated. its not bad but it isnt very good.

7/10

Freakishly weird, but damn the dreamscape vibes were fantastically surreal. Also, #yoursonisliquid

classic. pretty good for its time. i love the bed gusher kill. the ending was pretty good too.

Got a jump out of me in the end but was NOT scary overall. I really like the concept in general but the execution could've been better imo. Was gonna give it a meh but damn I really really love the ending, there's just something so interesting about it to me. I learned more about how they did the practical affects and it's actually pretty cool. Very influential film too. anyway HOW is that Johnny Depp that mf can shape-shift

Just like final destination, this gets a love purely for having a badass concept that it executes really really well. Even though I was pissed off because no one could listen worth a damn and Nancy was the only #real one, this was awesome. Every single death was NUTS. So so good.
