overview
What is A Nightmare on Elm Street about?
If Nancy doesn't wake up screaming, she won't wake up at all. Teenagers in a small town are dropping like flies, apparently in the grip of mass hysteria causing their suicides. A cop's daughter, Nancy Thompson, traces the cause to child molester Fred Krueger, who was burned alive by angry parents many years before. Krueger has now come back in the dreams of his killers' children, claiming their lives as his revenge. Nancy and her boyfriend, Glen, must devise a plan to lure the monster out of the realm of nightmares and into the real world... It blends horror elements. The film reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Wes Craven. With a runtime of 1h 31m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
