Nightmare on Elm Street

Scare: Quality: Story: Overall:
We all know who Freddy Kruger is, but do we know the story behind him or what he really was? NO. We know that he can get you in your sleep, but that's it, right? Well, Freddy was a child killer and everything pretty much went wrong from there. After a while, a neighborhood of people trapped him in an abandoned warehouse and set it on fire. Freddy died, but he swore revenge. The neighborhood's children are in high school now, and Freddy is exacting his revenge. While the children are sleeping he gets to them because there is nothing to protect them in their sleep. He is eventually sort of defeated by the daughter of a cop, but can you ever defeat a man that can attack in dreams? Think about it and tell me what you think, E-mail me that is. Just to inform you all, this was Johnny Depp's, first real film, and he did a wonderful job, even though, well, you'll see when you watch it.
