Plot introduction

[Edit this paragraph]

Version 1

Nancy is a young girl who lives in Em Street. One day, a freak with a scar on his face and a razor-like finger appeared in her dream. Since then, she has been tortured by this nightmare every night. Strangely, all the children in Aimei Street actually have the same nightmare! Soon after, Nancy's friends died one after another, and she realized that she had to stay awake to have a chance to survive. After Nancy's investigation, she found that the dream killer was Freddie (Robert Ingram). Many years ago, he was burned alive by angry parents for harassing his children. Many years later, Freddie came back as a ghost! He can enter the children's dreams at will and kill them in an extremely cruel way to show revenge. Now, the only person who can stop this nightmare is Nancy. If she fails, then no one can live. ...

Version 2

The plot of this movie describes several teenagers having the same nightmare. In the dream, they saw Freddie had a terrible face and fingers like knives. The evil ghost killed several children in succession in her sleep, leaving Nancy to fight against sleep, so that she had a chance to subdue Freddie in turn.

Behind the scenes production

[Edit this paragraph]

Due to the popularity of the film, six episodes were shot in one shot, focusing not only on cold-blooded killer Freddie, but also on Johnny Depp, who was unknown at that time.

Johnny Depp made his debut in this film. Wes Craven, the director of the horror film Scream, has made seven sequels. Freddie, the dream killer he created in the film, has become one of the most successful horror images in history. The film shows quite openly the philosophy that "evil spirits are born from the heart". The mode of "being killed in a dream will really die" has been repeated countless times in this series, but it is still effective. At least for the target audience of the film, teenagers can get the expected horror effect. 1985 The subtitle of the second episode is Freddie Revenge, which is the weaker one in the series. 1987 The third episode "Body body double" is the most popular one in this series. 1988 "The Dream Master" episode 4, directed by Lenny Harlem; 1989 episode 5 Ghosts haunt every night (also translated as Yumeko); 199 1 the sixth episode no longer uses the original main title, but changes to "Freddie's Death: The Last Nightmare" and uses special effects again. 1994 "Goodbye is a nightmare" (literally translated as "wes Craven's new nightmare") in the seventh episode, the director of the first episode finally picked up the knife again. He has played games that confuse dreams, movies and real events, and some paragraphs are quite effective. In 2003, Yu Rentai directed Freddy vs Jason. It was New Line that put two long-lived demons in a horror series in the same movie and let them fight it out.

Wonderful tidbits

[Edit this paragraph]

Wes Craven, the director, was often bullied by a boy named Freddy when he was a child, so the boy's name appeared in the film. The director wanted to make the image of Freddy very scary, but later he gave up because of the makeup artist's opposition.

The movie Nancy watched to stay awake was 198 1 "Evil Death", which should be a trailer for the cinema.

There is a torn poster of the evil dead in the movie.

The poster on Johnny Depp's bedside wall is the album cover of Grace under Pressure by Canadian rock band Rush.

Johnny Depp accompanied his friend Jackie Earle Haley to audition for the film, but it was filmed by director wes Craven. This film became Johnny Depp's first film.

There is a big sink under Nancy's bathtub, and Nancy's actor Heather Langenkamp filmed 12 hours in the water.

This film is the first real film produced by New Line Company.

The film almost died in the process of shooting, because in the middle of shooting, New Line Company terminated its agreement with the original distributor, and all the actors and crew suspended their work for two weeks.

The film saved the new line company from bankruptcy.

500 gallons of fake blood were used in the movie. *

In order to get the role of Nancy, 200 actresses auditioned, including demi moore, Tracy Gold and Courtney Cox.

Director wes Craven's wife plays a nurse in the film.

The director was inspired by a series of news reports that a group of Cambodian young people died of nightmares.

Freddie's coat is red and green, because wes Craven knows these two colors are the most eye-catching.
