Critic Reviews:
A Nightmare on Elm Street is tailor made for those who like their gore leavened with thought-provoking ideas - something that is a rarity in this genre.
Terrifically spooky and original—at the point in which the movie was made, there had never been anything like it—the film continues to feel completely modern despite being almost a quarter-century old.
This film is a markedly strong entry into the slasher movement and introduced the world to a whole new kind of killer.
