Wes Craven's 1984 horror film is a better movie than it is generally credited for being. Forget the tawdry sequels; this highly original, almost surrealist work stars Robert Englund as a mutilated monster who kills teenagers during their dreams. Craven, who only directed one Elm Street sequel (<i>Wes Craven's New Nightmare</i>), takes the Hitchcockian step of layering in psychological explanations for the terror and then proving them all irrelevant in the face of mindless evil. The horror in the film is emotionally raw, in contrast to the overimaginative set pieces of most of the sequels that followed; and the final scene is as deeply unsettling as anything Luis Buñuel ever committed to film. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> *Viewer Reviews* A Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm Edition) 'One Two Freddy's coming for you. Three Four, better lock your door. Five Six, grab your crucifix. Seven, Eight, never stay up late. Nine, Ten, never sleep again.' THIS HAUNTING TWISTED NURSERY RHYME LAUNCHED ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL HORROR FILM SERIES, SINCE HAMMER LAUNCHED, HORROR OF DRACULA, ON AN UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC, IN 1956. PITY CREATOR AND DIRECTOR, WES CRAVEN, WHO SIGNED AWAY THE LUCRATIVE RIGHTS TO HIS BOGEY-MAN VILLAIN FREDDY KRUEGER ( BILLED AS FRED IN THE ORIGINAL FILM ). BUT THE SERIES PROVED TO BE A GOLDMINE FOR ROBERT ENGLUND, ORIGINALLY ONLY NINTH BILLED AS THE CHILD-KILLER HORRIFICALLY BURNED ALIVE BY HIS VICTIMS' PARENTS, AND WHO NOW WRECKS REVENGE ON THEIR CHILDREN THROUGH THEIR DREAMS. THERE IS A NICE HOMAGE TO HITCHCOCK'S PSYCHO, IN THAT CRAVEN, LIKE HITCHCOCK 30 YEARS EARLIER, KILLS OF IN EARLY SCENES THE PERSON THE AUDIENCE IS LED TO BELIEVE IS THE MAIN CHARACTER. LOOK OUT FOR RISING STAR JOHNNY DEPP IN AN EARLY ROLE AS ONE OF FREDDY'S VICTIMS. Back To Top
