We watched A Nightmare On Elm Street last night on DVD. It is the first time I seen the film again since when it came out back in 1984 and it was great seeing it again. I was amazed to see how young Johnny Depp was in the film, he looked so cute. This was his first ever film and he played the part of Glen Lantz who was the ...  Read the complete review

I remember when I was a kid, the school bully used to tell everyone that Freddie was going to get them in their sleep. This put me off this film somewhat and it was only recently that I had the balls to watch this without fear of sleepless nights. Freddie was a man in a pork pie hat, with a deformed burnt face, taloned hands ...  Read the complete review

Background The 1980's... I remember reading somewhere that this was the decade that taste forgot. Big hair, bigger shoulder pads, yuppies and Thatcher's Britain. I grew up in the 80's and witnessed the dawn of the Video Recorder, corner shops and petrol stations up and down the country suddenly had something new to offer its ...  Read the complete review

Talk about going back to old school. This film first came out in 1987 and had spawned a few sequels (6 I think, and the final nightmare!) This was the original and best in my view. I've always loved horror films. I remember watching this when it came out on video. I was far too young to see it, as it is an 18 certificate, and ...  Read the complete review

Now if ever there was a truly scary film, this could well be it. From the very start, where Tina is having her first nightmare, the film gets off on an eerie footing and from that moment it does not let up. I remember first watching this and having to turn it off mid way through because it was so creepy, a lot of that has to do with ...  Read the complete review

Originally released in 1984, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET is one of those 1980s horror movie franchises which modern takes on the horror genre such as SAW and HOSTEL cannot hope to compare to. This, the first film in the series, introduces us to Freddy Krueger, a child murderer (NOT a child molester as is often believed to be the ...  Read the complete review

Now a few years later he has returned to take revenge on those who killed him. To do this he appears in the dreams of their children, first ...  Read the complete review

One of the more interesting concepts to make it to the big screen came in the form of this surprise hit in 1984. Written and directed by Wes Craven, he struggled to get a company to back him despite already having success with Last House On The Left and The Hills Have Eyes. To everybody's surprise A Nightmare On Elm Street was the ...  Read the complete review

On one of my just paid whims, I went out and purchased the Nightmare on Elm Street DVD box set the other day. After being intitially p****d off that the Region 2 version comes sans Wes Craven's New Nightmare and the Nightmare Encyclopedia supplements disc, I decided to get round to watching all of the movies, some of which I had not seen ...  Read the complete review

The movie which introduced the world to a certain Freddy Kruegar who went on the haunt the 80s and early 90s in a series of hit and miss sequels and to gain something of a celebrity status himself. A Nightmare On Elm Street comes from director Wes Craven and is one of the more intelligent and certainly terrifying horror movies ever made. ...  Read the complete review
