A Nightmare on Elm Street Review

[@graffitimaniac]

hard to believe this was Johnny Depp's fist legit acting role lmfao.

[@beelee6025]

They fisted him?

[@sebastianemond5313]

I was still surprised when I first watched this movie and saw Jack Sparrow in it. Still hard to believe Johnny hated the later clout he got from 21 Jump Street.

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

Amazing how his career catapulted thanks to Tim Burton and Pirates of the Caribbean Yet he had so much difficulty going through all that abuse from Amber heard

[@AkuTenshiiZero]

Man, it's amazing what you can do with a sheet of spandex and some strategic lighting, that scene of Freddy in the wall is fantastic.

[@bigronnie9629]

5:24 The stretched arms scared the hell out of me as a child. I honestly think CG would have taken away the creepiness of their look. Great review

[@Itlivesinthewall]

cgi is not that bad, i mean it can be used well

[@MutatedPixelation]

Maybe I was just a demented little kid, but when I saw this (Snuck it out of my parents room >.>) I just laughed at the scene. This was in like 97.

[@stoneryoda9377]

The LittleRock Clydesdale I love old special effects , the thing I dont like about CGI is they use it for stuff they could use practically like CG buildings , my thought is if your going to use CGI go nuts with it & CG stuff we have never seen (avatar) not like the avengers where they CG background building when I'm sure they could just paint the background like old movie CGI is just a fake way of making your movie have "scope" which is complete bullshit , example , Laurence of Arabia has scope , westerns have scope because they are in real places

[@q.h.s5051]

The LittleRock Clydesdale Ditto

[@jenny5309-k3j]

The LittleRock Clydesdale The arms scared the crap out of me, too. I lived right on an alley, and every time I'd come out my back door when it was dark outside, I'd look down at the end of the alley and imagine Freddy there, running like that...yikes.

[@vincentmarcellino7183]

Fun fact: Glenn's bedtime puree was actually achieved by flipping a set and camera upside down and pouring the gore through a hole. Not sure if it was done via miniature or full-scale. But either way, it's another one of those effects that sounds like it's cheaper and better looking than CGI.

[@dannysvetlick6291]

The days before CGI

[@James35142]

They actually also used that set for Tina's death. They strapped Rod's actor to the floor (ceiling?) and had Tina's actress on the ceiling/floor.

[@singingwolf8997]

Definitely full scale. The entire room was built to be rotated, which even included nailing all the furniture to the floor, and having everything on the shelves glued down. It definitely makes the final product feel more real than just tossing an actor on a green screen.

[@SuperKamiGuru-i3c]

Come to think of it, the twist ending makes sense. Nancy has never woken up! Everything from "getting Krueger into the realworld" onwards was an extended elaborate dream. This is why there's clearly supernatural stuff with her mother and the bed.

Speaking of Freddy Krueger I have a way to make his glove by hand . Get a leather glove and cut the iconic holes and of course the wrist on the plan side cut right down the middle and fastened with a safety pin . Draw your patterns . Trace them on a copper cookie sheet . Cut them out . Drill holes . Bend them into shape . Connect the metal pieces using brass fasteners . Cut a pattern out of 4 plastic lettuce knives . Paint the blades silver . Super glue them onto the fingertips . Rivet the metal to the glove There you go

[@codester200011]

Decker, I'd just like to say that I respect and find you an entertaining and awesome film reviewer. The fact that you're finally reviewing some of Horror's biggest classics (At least, the first few, I'd rather not get into some of the.. in depth "sequels.") is honestly something that's probably going to keep me waking up in the morning. You deserve each and every subscription you get for just being an overall cool guy.

[@bryanalexander7571]

Saw a pretty good explanation, don't remember where, that she never actually woke up. The whole end of the movie was her nightmare which explains setting up the booby traps so fast, the scene in the mother's bedroom, and the jumping to the next morning with the car. Her showing up in part 3 shows that she somehow survived and escaped "off camera".

[@singingwolf8997]

I always saw the ending as a regular, run-of-the-mill nightmare that Nancy had. She beat Kruger, but she'd probably be traumatized for life, which explains why she takes medication to prevent dreaming in part 3. She doesn't take it to keep Freddy away because she thought she already beat him (hence her surprise when she heard Kristen reciting the rhyme and when she saw Freddy in Kristen's dream). She takes it to stop her own PTSD induced nightmares. But that was just my take.

[@konstance13]

[@ShadowGaming-bk3qt]

watching this today, it's sad and unfortunate that John Saxon passed away. Rest in Peace John Saxon.

[@newton3010]

I always had the theory that Nancy didn't actually wake up from that last dream where Glenn was supposed to be looking out. This would explain the mother's apparent osmosis into the bed. Then freddy fakes her out. He jump cuts to morning when she opens the door. Even Nancy was looking around like WTF is this? Ignoring the obvious "There is no spoon" moment and accepting this as the real world. She gets in the car with what appears to be her friends. She does indeed escape from Freddy though hence her return in Dream Warriors. So really it's unknown how she finally got away.

[@deltaprime3509]

I hope they will do more big budget crossover horror movies.

[@otaking3582]

Unfortunately, licensing issues make it nearly impossible to do it in film form. Thankfully we have comic books such as Freddy VS Jason VS Ash and Jason VS Leatherface, or video games such Mortal Kombat X or Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen

[@mmeers89]

Its my head-canon that Nancy's teacher dealt with so much paranormal shit in this series that she left the town and became a paranormal investigator in the insidious series. I can't tell why I think this, just works I guess.

[@Trollucard]

Hey Decker interesting fact the scene where Nancy's mom showed Nancy Freddy's glove is actually the shortened version of the scene. The longer one explained that Nancy and her friends had older siblings that were murdered by Krueger. Siblings they didn't know about and weren't brought up, but it certainly bring a new level of depth for character motivations

[@joshnaver3994]

Is that a deleted scene?

[@chrisfields4092]

Great show man as usual. I believe in an interview Wes Craven actually said the ending where Nancy walked outside was intended to imply that yes the entire movie had been a dream, but prophetic dream and now she would have to watch them all die again. Soooooo not technically "happy". But yes the sequel baiting is the much better idea I think. Fair warning these were two of my favorite series as a kid and I watched them all at least 50 times so I'm ready to call you on any bullshit. lol :P

[@harrybechtle4333]

I don’t think the dream was supposed to be prophetic. I’m pretty sure it was just supposed to be a straight up happy ending.

[@johnw8578]

Saw this in the theater. What was scary about the movie was NOT Freddy, but rather that your dreams could kill you. Imagine trying to stay awake, knowing that you will eventually succumb to sleep. THAT is what is scary. Too bad the sequels didn't realize this, and Freddy got turned into a joke anyway.

[@konradcurze939]

Fed him to a dream woodchipper?

[@vesticiousCowboy9608]

18:05 To be honest, when i first saw this scene i was just as confused as Decker was. The only logical explanation I could really come up with this might be that, Freddy seems to retain some of his powers from the dream world even when he's in the real world, which might explain why. Either that or Freddy tricked Nancy into believing that she dragged him into the real world, except she's still in the dream. With the ending however, I'm only guessing that Freddy tries to murder Nancy but she manages to wake up. After that, Nancy's fate was kinda... Left unknown. I mean they DID kinda hint at it in the 2nd film but they never really brought it up again, especially in Dream Warriors. So far that's all i can really come up with.

[@1984Brandon]

As you tend to have a knack for, another fun and entertaining review. One thing that always was creepy to me anyway was not just the vile Krueger is going to kill someone aspect but the unsettling sense you get from the people who are supposed to protect you. Like the parents and townspeople saying take this sleeping pill, there isn't any murderer in your dreams. Still Springwood, OH. circa 1984 it's not like anything else worthwhile happened other than sleeping or pill popping.

[@mikeylikesit100]

My main problem with the ending is that is makes no logical sense whatsoever. It was an amalgamation of about 3 or 4 different endings. They should've picked one and stuck to it. Was the entire movie a dream? Was the climax involving Nancy waking up and pulling Kruger into the real world just a dream, and she never actually woke up? Or was it all real and turning her back on Freddy somehow erased everything that happened and brought her friends back to life, all so Freddy could trap them in a car and drive off with them, whilst simultaneously killing Nancy's mom, all taking place in the real world somehow? Or did Nancy die off screen, and this is like a dreamworld version of hell her and her friends are all trapped in? Who knows? None of those possibilities make complete sense either, and when you add in the sequels, particularly Dream Warriors, where Nancy shows up like that ending never happened, it REALLY makes no sense. But even just taken on it's own merits, without any consideration of the sequels Craven obviously didn't know they were gonna make, the ending is just a f**king mess.

[@Comrade_Jason]

Watched this movie today. I've only ever seen Freddy v Jason, the new reboot one, and one with a little boy in a hospital (I think...I was like 10 years old at the time). I was genuinely surprised at how good it was, especially compared to Friday 13th and Halloween. Effects are better, acting is better... I think the story is a lot more real, despite its paranormal angle. Vigilante justice is common where I come from, especially when kids are involved. Petrol-soaked tyre round the neck, a lit match... the community deals with it, there and then. So it makes sense that the parents would kill Freddy to protect their kids, and hide it from their kids. Really is a good horror film. Torrenting part 2 now. Excited!

[@markcarpenter6020]

Ironically there was a draft of the script where Freddy was innocent and he was killing the kids as revenge for being murdered for something he didn't do. Honestly I wish they had kept that part. There is a reason vigilante justice is outlawed in the US. We tried it back during the old West times and a LOT of innocent people ended up dying.

without question the most horrifying thing in this movie is Nancy's mother's hair. WTF??????????????????

[@kurvos]

I agree with your criticism of the movie. But there is also one more thing I'd like to add - Nancy being awake for 8 days. The way the movie handles this aspect is really stupid. Her only side-effect of this is to be more tired... and, that's it. In real life, staying up more than 48 hours is really dangerous for your mental health. You'd start to go crazy and imagine things, you'd be really easy to piss off and startle, you'd start to feel pain and discomfort in ways you shouldn't because your body doesn't work as it should at this rate, and you'd simply be incapable of properly function like a human being. It bothers me even more they wouldn't focus on this in a freakin' horror movie where this is THE MAIN THEME of the whole damn thing. In fact, that would be brilliant, because she would then not even be safe in her waked state. Because she would basically then be "dreaming" whilst being awake. Shit like that stops me from considering this movie as one of my all-time favorites. I still like it... but it really could have been a lot better.

[@dinkrumpchumper1385]

But it's all a nightmare in the end so that's why she wasn't feeling sick

[@faceless-x-abberation8400]

4:58 I've always wondered that as well. Those older movies that used practical effects and did them very well always get praised for it. People always gush about how awesome practical effects look when done well. Then cgi took over and people always hate on how fake and bad they look. So it's a very good question that I wonder about all the time as well - Why did movies move to cgi and stop using practical effects when practical has so much more potential? Is is because cgi is easier or what? Anyway - I'm probably biased cause of how much ANOES scared me when I was little, but I give the movie a 5/5. It's probably my favorite horror movie of all time. Although The Babadook is right up there with it.

[@frozenfoxgames5300]
