Wes Craven’s „Nightmare on Elm street” is
certainly one of the most important horror franchises in recent movie history and it
kicked off very well, bringing new and brutal action to the teenage population
it was meant to scare.
Besides being the first flick in a flourishing
saga, it also managed to establish one of the most iconic movie monsters, the man
with daggers instead of his fingers, Freddie Krueger.
Besides from that, and the fact that it
introduced young Johnny Depp to the mainstream public, „Nightmare on Elm street”
is in the end a cliche horror story, with all its basic benchmarks and script
developments.
„Nightmare on Elm street” was an important movie
when it first showed up, but has lost some of its relevance during the course
of time.
