Freddy Krueger Lives! A Nightmare On Elm Street Movie Review

Since 1984, Freddy Krueger has haunted the dreams of movie fans worldwide. The “Nightmare on Elm Street” franchise was the cash cow of New Line Cinema for quite some time and Robert Englund was the big star. The Springwood Slasher tore through the box office with 8 films and 2 television programs (though 1, a reality show, was never aired) up until 2003. For the past 7 years, horror fans have slept easy, but have wondered when, or if, there would be another Nightmare On Elm Street film.

The remake of “A Nightmare On Elm Street” opened this past Friday, taking in a whopping $32.2 million & staking the claim of the #1 movie in America. As a HUGE fan of the original franchise & someone who absolutely despises most remakes or horror films, I went into this one with an open mind & absolutely loved it.
