| 0:00.0 | Hi this is Steve. So I finished watching this year's Halloween pick for the |
| 0:04.8 | cinnophiles around 11 30 last night. I brushed my teeth, I got into bed, closed my |
| 0:09.7 | eyes, and that's when the nightmare started. There were dogs barking chasing me, some kind of |
| 0:15.1 | freaky lizard was biting my hand and another was on my leg and there was another |
| 0:18.6 | and another and then I knew it was a dream and I woke myself up. By then it was 1.30 a.m. |
| 0:24.8 | So I closed my eyes and I was back in the nightmare like that. |
| 0:28.4 | It went like that all night, awake, asleep, dreaming, running, awake again? Or was I? All I wanted was a few hours of sleep, but every |
| 0:37.4 | time I closed my eyes, I did it knowing the dreams could always come back. |
| 0:43.0 | And that is why I don't watch horror movies. |
| 0:46.0 | And this is why West Craven's 1984 film, |
| 0:49.0 | A Nightmare on Elm Street, hits particularly hard. See, it's not some mindless killer or monster you |
| 0:55.4 | can you can run away from those but what West Craven understood perhaps better |
| 0:59.2 | than anyone else is that the most frightening demons are the ones we create in our own minds. |
| 1:05.0 | I won't go so far as to say this is a great film. |
| 1:09.0 | It's a low-budget horror movie and that certainly shows, |
| 1:12.0 | but Nightmare on Elm Street taps into |
| 1:13.9 | something primal and terrifying. So if you haven't seen it, face your fears by |
| 1:18.9 | heading to cinephiles.net where you can buy Nightmare along with every other |
| 1:22.2 | film we've ever reviewed and then come back on |
| 1:24.6 | Friday as the Cinephiles celebrates Halloween by visiting the world of Freddie Krueger and Nightmare |
| 1:31.2 | on Elm Street. |
| 1:35.0 | It's too late, Ruger. |
