Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) by Lincoln K — 01 Nov 2012
One of the more inventive horror films of the 1980s, this one played on the fear of what happens if you die in your dreams and combined that with the "sins of the parents" angle. A talented group of young actors (including Heather Langenkamp and a young Johnny Depp) and a few veteran character actors lead a solid cast, which also has Robert Englund making his debut as the dream killer, Freddy Krueger.
Wes Craven is at his most effective as a filmmaker in this one.
