I sat next to Robert Englund at the bar yesterday and let me tell you, those eyes could still give me nightmares. What has become a horror cult classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street sits well in any tep ten horror list for a reason, it preys on what every viewer fears the most, nightmares, where your biggest fears can come without warning. Freddy Kruger will always remain one of the most recognizeabl... read more

"I probably could have saved her if I'd have moved sooner. But I thought it was just another nightmare, like the one I had the night before. There was... there was this guy; he had knives for fingers."

The story of this film is based around a group of teenagers who all begin to have nightmares about the same person (if you can call him that). They work out that this guy, named Fred ... read more

Killed after being burned by the townspeople after being... read more

Movie Reviews (part 8) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: One of the most effective horror characters in the 1980s showing his true colors before he became a comic parody of himself in the sequels. Excellent teenage actors. Johnny Depp getting sucked by his own bed. The terrible fate of Amanda Wyss. Surprising and inventive. The Downs: The ending that is useless and annoying. "
