A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (DVD)

“1,2, freddy’s coming for you.” and here he is, phantom fiend freddy krueger in all his razor-fingered infamy. wes craven (scream movies) directs this trendsetting first in the slash-hit series. the premise is simple: freddy (robert englund) homicidally haunts the sleep of elm street teens. the results are terrifying and mind-blowingly innovative. there’s another film debut too: johnny depp. he plays the ready steady of the hottie mcsmarty (heather langenkamp) who figures a clever way to flambe the fiend. but ever-say-die freddy will be 3,4 back for more…even returning to the screen in a killer 2010 remake of this devilish original. sweet dreams!
