A Nightmare on Elm Street - Let's See You Review THIS! write-off
This review is part of Lynus?s "Let?s see you review this!" write-off, where each participant gets to challenge another participant to review their choice of film. Apparently Patti wanted to subject me to a Sunday afternoon of rented DVD blood and gore. Gee thanks, Patti.

Craven's (Original) Nightmare on Elm Street-1984
Does one sense that I am backwards going? Alas, in more ways than one, and that subject is hardly fit for this review! So forget it!
I have already added my review efforts To Nightmare 2 and 3. Let me say here, I would never have watched the second two middling failures if I hadn't been...

Nightmare on Elm Street infiniFilm Special Edition DVD
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.

A Nightmare on Elm Street [VHS]
Wes Craven's 1984 horror film is a better movie than it is generally credited for being. Forget the tawdry sequels; this highly original, almost surrealist work stars Robert Englund as a mutilated monster who kills teenagers during their dreams. Craven, who only directed one Elm Street sequel (Wes Craven's New Nightmare), takes the Hitchcockian step of layering in psychological explanations for the terror and then proving them all irrelevant in the face of mindless evil. The horror in the film is emotionally raw, in contrast to the overimaginative set pieces of most of the sequels that followed; and the final scene is as deeply unsettling as anything Luis Buñuel ever committed to film. --Tom Keogh
