From modern horror master Wes Craven (Scream, Scream 2) comes the timeless shocker that remains the standard bearer for terror and gave as a true horror icon for the 1980s & 1990s.

Nancy (Heather Langencamp) is having grisly nightmares. Meanwhile, her high-school friends, who are having the very same dreams, are being slaughtered in their sleep by the hideous fiend of their shared nightmares. When the police ignore her explanation, she herself must confront the killer in his shadowy realm.

Featuring John Saxon (Enter The Dragon) and Johnny Depp in his first starring role and mind-bending special effects, this horror classic gave birth to one of the most infamous undead villains in cinematic history... Freddy Krueger.

What else can you say about Nightmare, it is a faultless product of its time, which cannot be say about it's four (or was it five?) sequels, and it rejuvenated the horror industry again. Just as Wes did recently with his Scream trilogy.

Brilliant, original (ish) and terrifying .

Nightmare is released on Region 2 DVD in June
