      It's a shame that they overrode his creativity with that stupid ending that he hated for undermining the primary idea of the film about fear being something reliant on our attendance to it. He called it cheap 1960s style cliche, probably motivated by turning the movie into a franchise.

    Fun Fact: The joke behind 15 year old Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) looking in the mirror and saying, "God, I look like I'm 20" is because she actually was when she made this movie.
    Another Fun Fact: This is Johnny Depp's first movie.
    Also, Fred "Freddy" Krueger (Robert Englund) performance was so popular, as the series progressed he was allowed to add his own flavor to it and he intentionally added a strange humor to the character, giving him some pretty memorable one-liners. It became something that viewers looked forward to. So, actually there was some intentional humor and that helped make the series popular.

      fun fact: this film was inspired by something called Hmong sleep deaths, from Sudden Nocturnal Death Syndrome. All these young healthy Asian men were dying in their sleep..I think it's due to a gene among the people..something with schizophrenia..but those people thought it was an evil spirit. I didn't articulate that well, but either way, it's crazy and scary.

    • @Thundarr100
      @Thundarr100 Месяц назад

      ​@@wheelmanstanActually the reason for the Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome was psychosomatic. It was like a reverse of the placebo effect. The immigrants were from a very spiritual society, and when someone suffered from Sleep Paralysis, they legitimately and sincerely believed that it was due to being stalked by a demon. Back home they would send for a witch doctor who would perform an exorcism to drive off the demon. But that wasn't an option in America, so the pattern nightmares got worse and worse until the victims belief in the demon eventually killed them.

    • @Thundarr100
      @Thundarr100 Месяц назад +3

      @Cadinho93 actually it was the writers who wanted Freddy Krueger to be "more witty". Robert Englund may have added a little bit to Freddy's personality in Part 2 and maybe Part 3, but it was the writers that decided to go overboard with it in the later instalments. I have actually met Robert Englund at a fan convention, and he told me that he wanted to keep Freddy scary, but it was the studio executives and the writers that kept giving him bad puns and one liners in the sequels. A quip here and there is one thing. Not being able to open your mouth without saying something "funny" is something else entirely.

    I always thought that Nancy realizes at the very end of the movie that it is her mother's dream that she is in, not hers. Nancy has defeated Freddy at this point, so he can't come after her in Nancy's, or her friend's dreams. The sequence with the car is Freddy simply moving Nancy and her friends out of the picture, so he can then proceed to attack one of the people he really hates, Nancy's mom.
    Nancy's shouts of "Mother!" is our heroine desperately trying to get her mom to wake up from the dream before Freddy gets her.
    Part 2 of the franchise does give the audience one, brief line of dialogue about the final fate of Nancy's mom.

      Fear is SO individualistic. Some people are more scared of killers, others supernatural, cult or mob mentality, aliens, government, etc. I know it has to be very specific for me to be scared.
      I was forced to watch IT, then the second IT, then the original IT, then read IT because people kept telling me, "OK, this one will scare you," lol. Am I gonna follow a man in a sewage drain? No. But I am not phased by clowns, lol. Some people are very afraid of them because of their ambiguity, Gacy, or Stephen King.
      I really liked the original Scream because it waa mostly a mystery. I was only "afraid" of Ghostface when they took off the masks and it was people she knew and loved. Ick 😂 But a lot of kids I knew growing up found Ghostface to be the scary part.

    That first kill is probably my favorite kill in the whole franchise, and they did it with a fixed camera in a spinning-room, so it looks like Tina is being dragged around the room but the room is actually spinning and the actress is just rolling herself around. That was a ground-breaking effect at the time and several movies have used the same trick since.

    One thing to keep in mind is that this film came out like 40 years ago so everything was “Practical Effects” with only a few tiny exceptions.
    Also as Ash pointed out “THE CONCEPT” was unlike anything before it which is why even 40 years later people who are just now discovering this movie are “Shook” by the idea of being hunted down in your Dreams.
    Everyone NEEDS to Sleep and in your Dreams anything can happen.
    We’ve all had those dreams where you are trying to run but it’s like you are running in thick mud, or you try and punch but you either just land glancing blows that do no damage OR your hits are Pillow soft.
    I was born in 1972 and I grew up watching movies like The Exorcist which I saw when I was like 6-7 years old, Saw “The Thing” when I was 11 saw “Night of the Living Dead” when I was 12
    And saw this film when I was like 13-14 years old.
    Horror movies have always been one of my favorite genres of movies and THIS MOVIE was a GAME CHANGER!

John Clayton was a child who was lost in the jungle but was raised by apes and takes the name "Tarzan". Later he meets a young woman who is lost in the jungle named Jane. They then have a romance that drives most of the stories as most of them involve following Jane and rescuing her from various dangers.

    Ash has to remember this movie was made on a shoestring budget and was basically the make-or-break film for a relatively tiny and then-unheard of studio named New Line Cinema. It was innovative as fuck and accomplished more with less money than many of the movies that would come after. That you think it could have been better has probably been influenced by you seeing a million other things that stole from it afterwards

    The movie Nancy was watching was the original Evil Dead from 1981. It was a callback to the fact in the original Evil Dead they had a "the Hills have Eyes" poster in the background, one of Wes Cravens films. Sam Raimi and Wes Craven had a sort of joke running between them where they would add little things from each others films in their own, so in the second Evil Dead, there's a Freddy glove hanging inside the work shed. It's a cute little thing in the horror community

    What is really scary is there is an element of truth to this story. In the late 60s & 70s dozens of otherwise healthy men died in their sleep nearly all of them were from the Hmong people (as featured in Gran Torino) In one of the cases a teenager kept having extreme night terrors and he begged his parents to keep him awake but after 48 hours he fell asleep then the parents were woken by screaming but by the time they got to their sons room he was dead.

  • @karenmitting7181
    @karenmitting7181 23 дня назад

    This film is 40 years old. As a teen who grew up with the Freddy Kruger franchise it was terrifying. Born from the mind of horror master Wes Craven, A Nightmare on Elm Street (NOES) spawned a total of nine films, a television spin-off, multiple novels, and several comic books - grossing almost $500 million worldwide. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - A 21-year-old Depp landed his FIRST film role in Wes Craven's cult slasher film. As Glen, a teenager whose dreams are haunted by Freddy Krueger, Depp got Hollywood's attention for his bad boy demeanor and brooding good looks. My favourite movie in the franchise was “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors” (1987). If you get a chance you should watch this one. It got a bit ridiculous towards the end with a “Freddy vs Jason” movie where NOES met Halloween. But they were all really fun movies to watch. Sleep well 😴

    #3 Dream Warriors is the best, at least in my opinion. It was the first horror movie I saw, late at night while everyone slept. I was very young, and having subsequent nightmares was interesting, in retrospect. I, ironically, came to a similar solution as in Nancy's case. I never had another nightmare again.
