The movie begins as we see a man fashioning together a glove of some sort. Flash to a scene in a dark, damp boiler room with the lovely Tina (Amanda Wyss) being stalked by an unknown assailant. Just as she is about to meet her doom she wakes up drenched in sweat. It was only a bad dream and she thinks it's all over, but it is only the beginning for the kids of Elm Street. We later find out that other kids are having nightmares about a strange man with knives as his fingers. Right away, we recognize Freddy as a trendsetter among slashers, being years ahead of the advent-grade Edward Scissorhands and boy, that red and green sweater is so...sexy. Watch out girls, this boy's one-liners will kill you. After ripping through a cast that could have easily starred in "Scream", Freddy finally meets his match. Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) realizes that the only way to defeat this maniac is to bring him out into the real world. She also find out why Freddy is doing all this killing (Full Story Here). The ending was pretty bizarre; leaving the door open (literally) for the sequels that followed. Coming soon, will be a Freedy vs. Jason, hopefully Freedy kicks Jason's ass. Not because I hate Jason, but there where to many sequels. Plus Freedy 3 was about Freedy , and Jason 3 was about some dad pretending to be Jason (very gay).
