A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Country: US
Technical: col 91m
Director: Wes Craven
Cast: John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund
Synopsis:
Teenagers are pursued through their dreams by the malevolent spirit of a child molestor immolated years earlier by their parents.
Review:
The first horror film in some time to break new ground descends to all the old commonplaces of false endings, shock effects without issue, and the triumph of the spunky American heroine over invincible evil by dint of sheer grit and determination. The ending so arranges affairs for the inevitable sequel that the audience does not even know how things stand, a depressing foretaste of things to come.
