- Synopsis:
- "1, 2, Freddy's coming for you". And here he is, phantom fiend Freddy Krueger in all his razor-fingered infamy. Wes Craven directs this trendsetting first in the slash-hit series. The premise is simple: Freddy (Robert Englund) homicidally haunts the sleep of Elm Street teens. The results are terrifying and mind-blowingly innovative. There's another film debut too: Johnny Depp. 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...even returning to the screen in a killer 2010 remake of this devilish original. Sweet dreams!
