A replusive, decaying figure with razor-sharp appendages (and ... Full Descriptionan 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.
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.
Both Elite Laserdiscs (EE3734 & EE3733) are limited to editions of 5,000 units. Color by DeLuxe. Budget estimate $1.8 million. Released in USA October 31, 1984. The film's original running time was listed at 150 minutes, it is now listed at 91 minutes. Feature film debut for actor Johnny Depp. Although he directed only the first film, director/writer Wes Craven's "Nightmare on Elm Street" continued to fascinate horror movie buffs. Subsequently, four more films were made, all of them featuring Robert Englund as the infamous Freddy Krueger. The movie also led to a television series called "Freddy's Nightmares." Rated BBFC 18 by the British Board of Film Censors.
