A Nightmare On Elm Street
Nightmare On Elm Street. - Connor Starks
Kick ass movie. Scary the whole way through, and even though it's not as good as the original, it doesn't disappoint. Great actors, Great angles, everything was perfect, except for Jackie Earl Hayley. I feel he entirely wrecked krueger as a character, and he was the only bad point about this movie. **** and a half stars
