Title: Introducing Freddy Kreuger
Review: This was probably one of the best and inventive horror flicks of the 80's. Wes Craven intorduced us to a killer we could not escape if we tried. Freddy Kreuger was not some flesh and blood stalker, but a hellish demon that haunted your dreams.The flim is well directed and acted. It is also very well written. For a movie in which few die, the chase sequences make up for killing scenes. These chase scenes are top rate, the staircase one in particular.This movie also introduced us to Johnny Depp. The movie though is not Freddy's show, much like the sequels that followed. This is a showcase for Heather Lagenkamp's character Nancy. Nancy is probably the most well written horror heroines since Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode.This movie is the best in the series, it's a shame New Line just greenlit "Freddy vs Jason" a film sure to taint this films legacy.
