Back in 1984, Wes Craven took the horror world by storm with the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, about a horrible dude named Freddy Krueger that hunts teenagers down in their dreams, with real world consequences! The movie is a horror classic and led to a whole lot of sequels and even a reboot. However it definitely raises a lot of questions. Like how exactly do Freddy’s powers work exactly? Is there any consistency to what he can and can’t do? Where did Nancy get that insane library book that helps her defeat Freddy? Why is her mom so chill about this whole thing? Why doesn’t anyone believe her when obviously supernatural stuff starts happening around town? Does this movie hold up? (thetvdb.com)
