Plots(1)
"1, 2, Freddy's coming for you." And here he is, phantom fiend Freddy Krueger in all his razor-fingered infamy. Wes Craven (Scream movies) directs this trendsetting first into the slash-hit series. The premise is simple: Freddy (Robert Englund) homicidally haunts the sleep of the Elm Street teens. The results are terrifying and mind-blowingly innovative. There's another film debut too: Johnny Deppy. He plays the ready steady of the hottie mcsmarty (Heather Langenkamp) who figures a clever way to flambe the fiend. But ever-say-die Freddy will be 3, 4 back for more... (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
