| Product Details |
| A hellish, razor-fingered monster enters the dreams of the teenage residents of a bucolic town and systematically slaughters them in their sleep--until one courageous young woman does battle with the predatory fiend. An excellent, surprisingly surrealistic genre entry from the master, Wes Craven. |

(04/01/2004, p.62, Premiere Staff): "Freddy became a mythic figure.", (10/01/2006, p.108, Grant Kempster): 5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is one of the few truly nightmarish horror movies ever made.", (10/27/2006, p.58, Entertainment Weekly Staff): "[S]ome of the effects remain nicely repulsive; Freddy himself comes across as a genuinely nasty piece of work..." -- Grade: B-, (11/07/1984, Lor.): "...A highly imaginative horror film that provides the requisite shocks to keep fans of the genre happy....Wes Craven tantalizingly merges dreams with the ensuing wakeup reality..." |
