Nightmare on Elm Street

Nightmare on Elm Street is an extremely popular slasher film. This is a film that needs no description. Rather you like horror movies or not, there is a very high chance that you have heard of it.

It mixes a common fear, dark horror and a unique character, to produce a memorable movie.

This franchise is not one of my favorites, but it has its good qualities. There is of course the unique main character, but also, great environments, story lines, and plot twists.

My most credible form of evidence in support of this film, is that it was transformed into a full size detailed, maze. This shows just how great the environments are.

There are boiler rooms:

Schools: 

and of course...

bedrooms:

Throughout the entire franchise, there are many great scenes. 

In another post, I talked about the film series Halloween, and how it is so popular that you can't walk into a Halloween store, or haunted house, without seeing the main character. When movies become so liked, they become forever engraved in the horror community. This franchise did just that. 

We all have nightmares every so often. And this is what this movie takes advantage of. We've all woke up, sweaty from our restless sleep, terrified of what your mind has just conjured up, terrified to go back to sleep. This film captures this essence, and adds an extra dose of fear. 

Nightmare on Elm Street is a film franchise that will forever live in infamy.
