Darkness,loneliness or uncertainty..these are some feelings that we sense when we are alone at night,especially on a non-usual street.This fear of being alone at night is principally generated from some situations we watch on TV,but also from some horror movies we have watched beforehand.
A Nightmare om Elm streer is a clear example of that,many past generations have suffered terrified dreams to find Freddy Krueger on the next corner.
A Nightmare on Elm Street is an American horror film.It was directed by Wes Craven in 1984.There is no doubt that we are talking about one of the horror bloody films ever made.Besides,it was selected in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being ‘cultural and historically’.
This successful franchise involves six sequels,TV series,cartoons and plenty of merchandising.For the 80s generation,it was shocking to see the main character in this role,because previously he had been watched in a friendly role in the TV series V.
At a first idea,Freddy would be a child abuser,yet it is remarkable to point out that in this original plot was changed due to the real cases in California about this problem and for the future repercussions.
The story begins with a group of female teenagers who just have the same nightmare.One day,they talk about that they realice that all bad dreams have the same main character,a disfigured man wearing bladed glove who is called Freddy Krueger.During a girls pyjamas party,Tina’s boyfriend,Rob,enters the house.During this night Rob sees that his girlfriend is killed by the deformed man.Yet,the Rob's alibi is not believed by policemen and he is arrested.The panic keeps coming from the rest of the girls,because the Freeddy nightmares are more and more realistic
A Nightmare on Elm Street will deserve to be considered a classic.This movie is an atmospheric,memorable and suspenseful,full of creative and shocking kills.Besides,featuring one of cinema’s most recognisable villains.
‘One,two,Freddy’s coming for you.Three,four,better lock the door.Five,six,grab your crucifix.Sevem,eight,gonna stay up late.Nine,ten,never sleep again.
