    My only issue with this movie that came out almost 40 years ago…is that the ending is unclear. There’s the regular one, and the “happy ending” in the extras included…why show the regular one instead of the happy one? I ask because someone comes back in part 3…but kinda dies in this movie…? It would only make sense if they show the “happy ending” version.

  • The original is always the best

    The first and absolute best of the entire franchise! Let’s face it. Robert Englund is Freddy Krueger! Wes Craven did such an amazing job with this film! From everything from special effects to just the overall creepiness and jump scares. Killer premise! Great cast! Robert Englund’s performance as Freddy Krueger is iconic and it’s just the stuff of nightmares. No pun intended. I remember watching this movie when it came out in the theaters for the first time. There were signs on the front of the movie theater warning people to not see it if they have heart issues or high blood pressure. Just as I was reading the sign, there was an ambulance out front and someone was being carried out on a gurney. The movie definitely delivered on the scares! Highly recommend! Great horror movie and a definite classic!

    What a great movie. Amazing. It was really messed up of what happened to Freddy Krueger. He turned evil and he starts killing people in their sleep. Nightmares look like they became real in the movie. The first movie is a great success. The rest sucked.

  • The icon of all slasher horror films!!!

    A nightmare on elm street is my personal favorite serial killer horror films of all time and of the 1980s decade, sure to go good with my Halloween costume accessory!!! It tops as one of my five favorite films of all time above every genre along with Fright Night,Fantasia, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The one and only Wizard of Oz.
