A Nightmare on Elm Street

Esse filme têm uma ideia genial fei de forma maravilhosa. Esse filme é obrigatório pros fans de slasher

I love this film. It looks great. The sound is a bit hollow though, especially the dialogue, especially the guy with the leather jacket. The characters are really engaging, it has an original story and it is a bit chaotic in a good way. Some of the practical special effects like the stretched arms and floating woman are goofy but most of it is really good. The editing and makeup is excellent which I don’t normally notice. The occasional melodrama is entertaining but feels dated. I like to think that this inspired Home Alone (1990) but it probably didn’t. Some of the jump scares are more effective than others. The whole final act is so entertaining, I loved it! Overall there is a noticeable step-up in production quality across the board compared to Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984).

A nightmare on elm street is an all time classic that can still scare people to this day.

Wes Cravens absolute best film right next to another masterpiece, SCREAM. Everything from Freddy (my favorite slasher of all time) and the atmosphere of the film and the production, its my favorite horror movie of all time. It's violent but not as violent as you'd think. Please watch this movie it's an absolute classic masterpiece. People who are trying to get into horror WATCH THIS MOVIE!! Robert Englund KILLS it and gives the performance his all. Ahead of its time and an absolute must see for horror fans or horror starters. Masterpiece

Even after 40 years, A Nightmare on Elm Street still holds up very well as one of the best horror movies ever made. Freddy Krueger cemented himself as one of the great horror icons as a result of Robert Englund's stellar performance and the way the movie slowly reveals him. Paired with great characters and suspenseful environment, there is no doubt this film is a classic. The last five minutes is the only thing that negatively impacts it.

Saw this movie when it first came out.. scared me! It's must see viewing for horror enthusiasts

A creepy villain, memorable characters and talented writer-director makes this memorable classic hold up 40 years later.

I might be spoiled by the quality of other horror films, but I found this one surprisingly disappointing compared to the majority. The dream sequences are the best part of the movie, but aside from that, it falls flat. The plot is often predictable, and the screams don’t have the same impact as in other films. It follows a familiar formula typical of many horror movies: a creepy antagonist who kills people for no clear reason, beautiful women, and sexual themes. Additionally, the character development feels superficial, making it hard for viewers to connect with them. The dialogue often lacks creativity, which diminishes the tension that could have been built. While there are moments of intrigue, they are overshadowed by a reliance on clichés. Overall, I was left hoping for more originality and depth, as horror films can offer so much when they push boundaries and explore new themes.

It's still one of my favorite movies in my life. And yes, you can tell me that Freddy is a silly character, but it may be the reason why I like the franchise, I am a big fan of the character, of his personality. And of course, a nightmare on elm street is not a movie that scares you, and you shouldn't look for it. It's a well-made movie, which has its little things badly done but doesn't take away the experience at all. It has one of the best killed deaths I can remember in a movie, and for the year it's made, this scene is amazing.

A good horror classic. I've seen better horror movies though.
