What does everyone think to this film? SourceI really like this film. I've only seen this and the second out of the long list of Elm Street films. This is one of my favourite horror films. Films nowadays have a budget of millions and millions and aren't even in the same league as this film. This had such a low budget yet is one of those films everybody associates as a great horror film. In any of the sequels does it mention why Freddy never properly died? I didn't realise Johnny Depp was in this film.

He did technically die, he just haunts the dreams of the orginal kids who's parents burned him alive, thus killing them in their sleep. So he is technically dead. I love the first Elmstreet, i was a huge fan of Freddy as a kid. The thing I like about the first film is that it is very dark compared to the one-liner Freddy from film 3 onwards My favourite edition to the series), The "One, Two, Freddy's coming for you" ryhme i still find eerie, as infamous as it has becomer. And they were some genuinelly bloody moments like Tina in the school hallway and the girl being ripped open in the bedroom finale-ing in a blood fountain! I like the second one as well, i think i've only ever seen it twice, once as a kid, the other in recent years, With the recent years i really appreciated it more with the conflict of the teenager, Jesse struggling to come to terms with the people he's killed, although it's really freddy who has possessed him.

Like Bones, I loved Freddy as a kid. My childhood friends and I were really into Freddy, Michael Myers, Pinhead, etc. The 80's were a good time for these kinds of movies. I also never realized Johnny Depp was in A Nightmare on Elm Street until about a year or two ago. A Nightmare on Elm Street was a good movie. Freddy was such a scary guy back then, very innovative. I also agree the early movies were better than the comedy-like latter movies. The Final Nightmare was just awful. One of the scenes I remember best from the Nightmare movies is from part 2 I think, the school bus scene. That kind of scared me as a kid, lol, it was very surreal to me at the time. One Two, Freddy's Coming For You!
