A Nightmare on Elm Street

Wes Craven’s classic slasher movie celebrates its 40th birthday this year and keeps its place on the podium as one of the best horror movies ever made, having spawned a franchise as well as an enduring legacy.

We follow Midwestern teenager Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) and her friends whose violent nightmares all feature the disfigured Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), and his glove of blades, who preys on the teenagers in their dreams. In this ‘sins-of-the-parents’ tale, can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle of the midnight mangler before it’s too late?
