This movie that I choose to review is one of my favorite classic remakes of the decade, Nightmare on Elm Street.  This movie takes place on a street called Elm Street haunted by probably one of the scariest villains, Freddy Kruger.  Freddy was once a innocent man accused of taking photos of nude boys and was chased into a farm house and burned alive.  In this film there are a few characters living on Elm street and unfortunately they become Freddy's victims.  They way he kills is waiting until a person falls asleep and he sneaks into their dreams and taunts them then kills them.  This idea personally scares the crap out of me because everybody needs to sleep eventually and you can't escape it.
         I think this movie is best portrayed through symbolism.  One symbol you notice in this film is Freddy's burn marks all over his body.  These portray the way he died when he once was a man and it is a reminder to the people who murdered him for no reason.  Another symbol you see are the knifes attached to his hand that really give off a scary gory feeling.  One major factor of this movie that is very ironic are the dreams.  Usually when one tends to dream nothing bad can ever actually happen to them, but in this film when Freddy kills you in your dream, you die for real.  I believe the purpose of this film is to scare the living poop out of you.  It is meant to make you afraid to fall asleep in fear that you will come face to face with Freddy.  Freddy's motto for killing is to put everybody through the pain he went through when he was burned alive, and it really makes an impact on the audience.
