Even though the very first "Nightmare On Elm St." was the scariest I consider this part the best of the series. The creative work in this film was awesome,and the cast did a great job as far as acting out their parts . The movie kept the audience on the edge of their seat with a plot that did a great job combining horror with some action and fantasy. I was very disappointed with the second Nightmare On Elm St. film, but this film made up for every area where the second film messed up . It's just too bad that this film wasn't the second and last.
