From modern horror master Wes Craven (Scream, Scream 2) comes a timeless shocker that remains the standard bearer for terror. Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) is having grisly nightmares. Meanwhile, her high-school friends, who are having the very same dreams, are being slaughtered in their sleep by the hideous fiend of their shared nightmare. When the police ignore her explanation, she herself must confront the killer in his shadowy realm. Featuring Johnny Depp in his first starring role and mind-bending special effects, this horror classic gave birth to one of the most infamous undead villains in cinematic history...Freddy Krueger.

"Feverish, genuinely frightening..." VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever
"Tingling, one of the best of its kind...Nightmare delivers." Chicago Sun-Times

Editor's Note

A hellish, razor-fingered monster enters the dreams of the teenage residents of a bucolic town and systematically slaughters them in their sleep--until one courageous young woman does battle with the predatory fiend. An excellent, surprisingly surrealistic genre entry from the master, Wes Craven.

Plot Summary

A replusive, decaying figure with razor-sharp appendages (and an even sharper sense of humor!) suddenly appears in the dreams of four Los Angeles teenagers. It is the ghost of Freddy Krueger, a suspected child murderer killed long ago by the neighborhood parents. Now he's able to exact his bloody vengeance by killing the teens off, one by one, as they sleep.| Finally just one girl remains. Desperately, she tries to stay awake by every means possible, but even pills and massive amounts of coffee wear off sometime -- and when they do, she'll have to battle Freddy for her very life.| It's her worst nightmare ... and it's coming true.

Professional Reviews

Variety
"...A highly imaginative horror film that provides the requisite shocks to keep fans of the genre happy....Wes Craven tantalizingly merges dreams with the ensuing wakeup reality..." 11/07/1984

Premiere
"Freddy became a mythic figure." 04/01/2004 p.62

Ultimate DVD
5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is one of the few truly nightmarish horror movies ever made." 10/01/2006 p.108

Entertainment Weekly
"[S]ome of the effects remain nicely repulsive; Freddy himself comes across as a genuinely nasty piece of work..." -- Grade: B- 10/27/2006 p.58

VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever 0 of 10
Feverish, genuinely frightening horror film about Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a scarred maniac in a fedora and razor-fingered gloves who kills neighborhood teens in their dreams and, subsequently, in reality. Of the children-fight-back genre, in which the lead victim (Heather Langenkamp) ingeniously goes to great length to destroy Freddy.

5 of 5 Freddy slashes way in to horror hall of fame.! Wednesday, July 28, 1999
chris everson from portland oregon

From the first time I saw A Nightmare on Elm street I was a freddy freak. The other hundred times were just for fun. The christian tatle tail in Just the ten of us plays Nancy an Unsespecting elm street teen who loses her friends one by one untill a showdown with freddy is unavoidable. Through dreams Freddy is literaly scaring everyone to death and nancy is not going to let that continue. This is a greate movie for fans of horror or comedy and freddy brings laughs to the screen that no other horror charachter could bring. This is the movie that gave Robert Englund a name in the acting buisness and the horror hall of fame.
