Who else thought that Freddy Kruger movie with Johnny Depp was scary as Hell?

It gets better when Wes Craven brought Depp back for the sequel as another character just to kill him again, lol.

Depp is old news

I agree. The first "Nightmare on Elm street" movie was the best and scariest. I remember seeing it when it first came out around 1985 I think. The idea that somebody could get into your dreams made you not want to go to sleep. After that they started getting kinda corny and predictable.

Of the series the first was the best. I did know it was a young Johnny Deep.

As with many horror films it is often dependent on age and time period viewed for fear factor /rating. A Few old horror films can be appreciated by today's current youth, however most get a good laugh because the graphics are old school and just corny to them today.

Hence the end where the mom was waving as they drove off and got pulled through the small window by Freddy-the graphics make most modern youth chuckle cause it's so fake. But for us who saw it as youth then parts of the story line were good from a psychological horror perspective ala Hitchcock.

:)

I guess I was too old when I watched it to find it that scary. I think it's a good movie, but not that scary. Now maybe if you were a teen or something it would have been scarier(I was way too young ot see it when it first came out).

not me

As my childhood favourite I have seen all of them million times and never realised until now the kid in the jersey is depp.

My mind has been blown, wtf.

Also a f#cking awesome scene.

Me, Depp's death in that movie was horrifically graphic. Those long arms of Freddy really got to me.
