What Reelgood users are saying

"A Nightmare on Elm Street" is praised for its top-tier practical effects and iconic status, largely due to Freddy Kruger. The film is noted for having some of the best kills in slasher history, a compelling story by Wes Craven, and a standout performance by Robert Englund.

Iconic for a reason. You know who Freddy Kruger is and it’s because this movie was so good. With some of the best kills in slasher movies to this day, a story only Wes Craven could deliver so well and Robert Englund in the role of a lifetime if you only watch one slasher movie in your life time make this one.
