In Wes Craven's classic slasher film, several Midwestern teenagers fall prey to Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a disfigured midnight mangler who preys on the teenagers in their dreams -- which, in turn, kills them in reality. After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends' parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery, but can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle before it's too late?
"Wes Craven, known as the master of horror and sultan of shock, brings terrifying thrills in A Nightmare On Elm Street, a true classic of the genre." - Allison Rose, FlickDirect
"The script is consistently witty, the camera work (by cinematographer Jacques Haitkin) crisp and expressive." - Paul Attanasio, Washington Post
"I have no doubt that A Nightmare on Elm Street will continue to hold its coveted place in horror history. With a mix of originality and camp, coming from a genuine fear, it's a film that can't be replicated." - Kristy Strouse, Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying
