Leave your thoughts about A Nightmare on Elm Street.
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.An imaginative, menacing, and scary film with top notch performances, an original premise, and horrifying villain... |
| ESplatterSteve Biodrowski...one of the great horror efforts and a worthy successor to the classic monsters of yesteryear. |
| Empire MagazineSimon BraundWhat makes Freddy truly terrifying, and an inspired invention on Craven's part, is that he exists not in the real world but in the shadowy realm of dreams. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliA Nightmare on Elm Street is tailor made for those who like their gore leavened with thought-provoking ideas - something that is a rarity in this genre. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesCraven vitalizes the nightmare sequences with assorted surrealist novelties. |
| The RingerSean FennesseyWhat makes the movie work is so simple and economical-you snooze, you die. I've always admired its simplicity. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA highly imaginative horror film that provides the requisite shocks to keep fans of the genre happy. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergA fantastic horror film that still holds up resoundingly well today. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioFor such a low-budget movie, Nightmare on Elm Street is extraordinarily polished. The script is consistently witty, the camera work (by cinematographer Jacques Haitkin) crisp and expressive. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellAn inventive and terrifying horror film that explores the inner psyche and its ability to turn nightmares into reality. |
