Still Stalks My Dreams...

PROS:
A Nightmare on Elm Street surely delivers what I beyond expected. Robert Englund's performance as Freddy Krueger was creepy, scary and quite frankly, funny. This was the point that made me love 'Nightmare. Heather Langenkamp delivered a great performance as Nancy Thompson; one of the greatest heroines in film history; so to speak. The plot seemed to be very simple and that was great for me. It was easy to follow and the scares distracted me from it. Wes Craven's creativity surely is shown on the screen. It may be twenty-so years old but it is still great fun to watch; especially the blood geyser sequence.
CONS:
The special effects were and still are pretty standard but with the budget they had; it shows you can make realistic effects with a small amount of money.
VERDICT:
It might have been made in 1984 but it still shows that Robert Englund is such a fun actor that can portray such a twisted jokester that kills teenagers in their dreams. Although the special effects are quite standard, A Nightmare on Elm Street delivers.
3.5/4
