A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) [DVDrip] (oan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 1984 American horror film directed

and written by Wes Craven, and the first film in the Nightmare on

Elm Street franchise. The film features John Saxon, Heather

Langenkamp, Ronee Blakley, Amanda Wyss, Jsu Garcia, Robert

Englund and Johnny Depp in his feature film debut. Set in the

fictional Midwestern town of Springwood, Ohio, the plot revolves

around several teenagers being terrorized in their nightmares by

the ghost of a serial child murderer named Freddy Krueger.



Craven produced A Nightmare on Elm Street on an estimated

budget of just $1.8 million, a sum the film earned back during its

first week.Grossing $25.5 million at the United States box office, A

Nightmare on Elm Street has become one of the most popular

entries in the horror genre and the film's villain "Freddy Krueger"

has become one of the most well recognized villains in cinema

history. Both critics and Craven have mentioned that the film owes

some of its success to John Carpenter's Halloween (1978), which

was hugely influential in spawning a long line of slasher films and

originating many clichés found in low-budget horror films of the

1980s and 1990s.



The film's premise is the question of where the line between

dreams and reality lies. The villain, Freddy Krueger (addressed as

Fred Krueger in the movie), thus exists in the "dream world" yet

can kill in the "real world". Sequels to the original would continue

to blur the distinction between dream and reality before finally

challenging the line between art and reality by showing Heather

Langenkamp, playing a fictionalized version of herself, haunted by

the villain of a series of films she has starred in. Critics

encouraged and praised the film's ability to rupture "the

boundaries between the imaginary and real", toying with

audience perceptions. Some movie historians interpreted this

overriding theme as a social subtext, "the struggles of adolescents

in American society",and their overwhelming need to confront "the

harsh realities of life"
