A Nightmare on Elm Street (1 viewing)
Plot : A crazed serial killer - kills his victims in their dreams : where in real life he does not exist.
Story : Though it has lots of very original ideas going on (I haven't seen many slasher-horror movies keep in mind) - it's ridiculous acting and story destroy everything good this movie has to offer. The movie starts where some friends all have similar dreams where Freddy Krueger (the crazed killer) : they eventually find out that he what harm he does to them in their dreams happens to them in real life. As they try to convince people what's happening no-one belives them : even though the evidence stacks up to a hillarious amount - which is really the most annoying thing about this movie. The acting is so underwhelming to what's going on and the murders that happen throughout the movie are treated like they aren't bad at all.
Visuals : Pretty good for the most part - which special effects that still look scary to this day. Though the general cinemetography isn't that great - aside from the few action scenes , it's defintly not the lacking part of the movie.
Sypnosis : Though I am just recently starting to watch some slasher and horror movies : the story and acting here are so bad - it's almost funny. Although I did enjoy the synthesizer heavy soundtrack.

WARNING: "Ending" spoilers below
Though you could argue the whole movies story is flimsey because one way to percieve the ending is that the whole movie was a dream the whole time - it's ending can not salvage the biggest plot hole filled movie i've ever seen.
