ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

DG_Boy Saw this in a DVD.Really this is a very terrific film and a little different from others.The story is good.And this theory is awesome that whenever a person sleep he comes in his or her dream and kills.This is very terrifying guys.The direction was awesome from Wes craven.The screenplay was nice.The dialouges were good.The acting were good from all.So if you are looking for a good horror film with mystery and killings then surely watch this one.Coz it has some terrific horror and killing scenes with a mystery in it.

Eka Herlyanti It's still pretty scary for today's era of horror movie. Quite enough scenes made me jumpy. What's more, the story is strong, unique and science related (the sleeping thing). However, I don't find the acting of the main actors so believable except for the screaming. Even Johnny Depp didn't show enough realness in the kissing scene (his other scenes were great, though).I feel glad to finally watch one of this great horror classic. The villain/devil is so popular and I would feel bad if I never see one of his movies. I hope I can watch all of the franchise despite the bad reviews.

Eric Stevenson Freddy Krueger is back...oh wait, this was actually the first movie in the series. I did in fact watch the 2010 remake and recognized it for the crapfest it was. This movie is superior in nearly every way even though I'm not a fan of slasher movies. Freddy was notable in being the first slasher villain who talked so this really was something innovative at the time. Come to think of it, has any slasher movie remained silent since his introduction? Chucky, Pinhead, the leprechaun, they all talk and came out later. I think a weakness is that Freddy isn't on screen that much.He actually doesn't talk that much in this movie which is probably for the better. He appears as genuinely scary in this. We actually do get some pretty good character development for everyone else. That's probably because this movie has a fairly low body count and we're not just given the sense of developing doomed characters like the lesser "Friday The 13th" movies. Hey, this had "Home Alone" antics before "Home Alone"! It's interesting to learn about the series mythology even though it isn't all explored here. ***
