A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

A child molester, who was set free on a technicality, was burned at the stake by a group of angry parents.

Years later, an angry Fred Krueger has come back for revenge by killing off the remaining children of Elm street one by one, in their dreams.

Written and directed by Wes Craven. Starring Heather Langenkamp, John Saxton, Johnny Depp and Robert Englund as Fred Krueger.

This was the ultimate boogeyman movie for me! Over the course of several years I would have nightmares of Freddy Krueger. The horrifying look he had, the evil laugh, the way he could just get under your skin was unbelievable.

This movie is the reason why I am obsessed with the horror genre.

The acting is incredible, the dialogue is damn near perfect and the special effects were top notch. Especially the make up used for Fred and the "face coming through the ceiling" effect.

The ending was also excellent in my books, not only do you get a cool finish but they throw in the last minute jump scare for good measure.

This may not come as a shock to you but I give this one a perfect 10 out of 10.
