Written and directed by Wes Craven, A Nightmare on Elm Street is the first instalment in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and our first introduction to the man of our dreams, Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund).
Rob and Jason drift off back to 1985 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this supernatural slasher film.
Several Midwestern teenagers fall prey to Freddy Krueger, a disfigured midnight mangler who preys on the teenagers in their dreams – which, in turn, kills them in reality. After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends’ parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery, but can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle before it’s too late?
