Nightmare on Elm Street
A group of teenagers are having recurring nightmares within a ruined boiler and are being tormented by a person with knives for fingers who is out to kill them, a teenager is murdered and her boyfriend is held responsible, it's now up to her friend to discover the truth and save herself and her boyfriend.
Wes Cravens classic slasher really needs no introduction; surreal and dark the first outing with Freddy Krueger is a classic and instantly became an icon.
9/10

Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge
Set 5 years after the events of the original a new family move into Nancy's house, the problem is that the house is roasting, the son meanwhile is being tormented by Freddy Krueger who wants to possess our hero to continue murdering the children.
The first sequel is great, however there are some moments where it is lacking in comparison to the original, the acting is great and it has one of my favourite kills: the shower scene.
7/10

Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
This time Freddy, tries a new tact by making the new batch of teenagers try to commit suicide. a group of teenagers in the asylum are doing every thing they can to stay awake, Nancy returns and discovers Freddy and has to help the kids stop the Krueger from killing more kids.
The kills are elaborate but Freddy does starts to become a bit more of a comic relief element, but it doesn't detriment the movie. the soundtrack as well is slightly iffy, but it gets made up for some inventive kills and great use of stop motion, my favourite of the sequels.
8/10
