A nightmare on Elm Street
The very thought of the prophetic counting out, repeated like a mantra by girls playing on the skipping rope, gives me shivers. The Nightmare on Wiązów Street is one of the horrors that will stay with the viewer for life and bring to mind childhood memories. Wes Craven, the slasher master , has created a timeless piece of work by exploiting the subconscious fears of the dream realm. This is one of those horror films that I often return to not only because of sentiment, but also because of the character of Freddy Krueger and the great atmosphere. It is a pity that such horror films are not created anymore and new productions are not even able to match him. The only director who has partially succeeded in this play, ironically, is the creator of Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.. It shed new light on the cult series, and the painting itself became a vaguely prelude to his next, successful series – Scream . Halloween is the perfect occasion to refresh this production! – Marcin Panuś
