A Nightmare on Elm Street

Horror91 min

In a quiet suburban town, a group of teenagers start having the same nightmare: a burned man with a bladed glove stalks them in their sleep. What first sounds like a shared bad dream turns deadly when the injuries carry into waking life and the teens begin dying one by one. Nancy, played by Heather Langenkamp, realizes that falling asleep may be the most dangerous thing she can do, but staying awake only buys time. As adults dismiss the terror or hide what they know, she pieces together how Freddy Krueger is tied to their parents and why he has come back for their children.
