Nightmare – Mörderische Träume (1984)

Nightmare – Mörderische Träume: Directed by Wes Craven. With John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Heather Langenkamp, Amanda Wyss. The monstrous spirit of a slain child murderer seeks revenge by invading the dreams of teenagers whose parents were responsible for his untimely death.

“u0026quot;A Nightmare on Elm Streetu0026quot; is so original, realistic, and overall terrifying that it is easy to overlook the filmu0026#39;s numerous shortcomings. The film deals with a deceased child molester who now lives only through the dreams of the children of those who cooked him to death. Robert Englund is truly frightening as Freddy Krueger, a dark figure whose only purpose is to kill all the siblings of his killers. The knife-styled finger glove has become a trademark of this amazing character who was created by writer-director Wes Craven. The film goes for suspense, drama, and gore and delivers for the most part. None of the characters are developed very well, but most do not live to see the end of the film so it really does not matter. A great horror film that still delivers today. Ignore the endless sequels, they each detract from this truly original and interesting film. Look for a young Johnny Depp as one of the unlucky teens. 4 out of 5 stars”
