Director: Wes Craven Cast: Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, Jeff Davis, Miko Hughes, David Newsom, Matt Winston, Wes Craven, Rob LaBelle, Marianne Maddalena, Gretchen Oehler, John Saxon, Robert Shaye, Tracy Middendorf, Bodhi Elfman
Lots of screaming is about all one can say concerning this "Nightmare" movie in which actors from previous "Freddy Krueger" films return for more slashing. Of special note, Robert Englund appears as himself, opposing his old character, Freddy. And you thought the series ended with #6.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984 R, 91 min. Genre: Horror / Thriller / Fantasy
Director: Wes Craven Cast: John Saxon, Ronee Blakely, Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, Amanda Wyss, Jsu Garcia, Johnny Depp, Charles Fleischer, Jack Shea, Joseph Whipp, Lin Shaye, Joe Unger, Mimi Craven, Ed Call
Years ago, angry locals took the law into their own hands and burned Fred Krueger alive after they discovered that he was abusing children. Now, Freddie (Robert Englund) has returned in the dreams of his killer's children, and the children begin to die. Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) is also having dreams about Freddie, and when her friends are meeting their demise, Nancy knows that she must stay awake and draw the dream killer out of the dreams and into the present-day world. This is great fare in the horror genre. In fact, the story of teenagers with some very bad dreams spurred many sequels.

A psychotic, Horace (Mitch Pileggi), slashes his way through entire families until he is caught with help from young Jonathan (Peter Berg) and electrocuted.

Plenty of satire and rip-offs of other films. Fun, in a sordid sort of way.
