      With this movie, I learned that sleep is to enjoy and sleep is to die

      Sleep has always been a huge problem that plagues most people. If you

      don't go to bed early at night, you can't get up in the morning.

      The happiest thing after putting on a quilt every day is to wake up and find that you can sleep for a long time.



      However, most people still suffer from insomnia and

      count sheep over and over again in the middle of the night.

      Perhaps, the guest officials should feel lucky,

      it is really a good...

      A movie that doesn't happen to me without knowing the pain

      The first movie that hoped that ghosts would kill more people, because people other than the heroine either thought she was mentally ill, or they promised to save the heroine on the surface, but they didn't really care. It was quite suffocating, and I especially hoped that Freddy would also appear in their dreams so that they could also experience the panic and pain of the heroine.
      It seems to me like ghosts, dead silence, and conjuration is a wonderful horror movie. In the film shortage,...

      the power of dreams

      For a long time, people's cognition of dreams has always been one-sided that it is the activity of the cerebral cortex. Some experiments have proved that the test subject is being told that this is a red-hot soldering iron that is actually a normal temperature iron block. But the man was still burned. It shows that the dream or the things in your imagination do have their power that cannot be ignored.

      psychological horror classic

      The scariest part of the film isn't Freddy's bloody face, but the nervousness you know he's going to scare you at any moment, and those gloves with long nails!
      The hurt you get in your dreams It will appear in reality, and things in dreams can also be brought to reality. This classic setting has influenced many similar works in the later period.
      I used to have nightmares when I was a child, and the worst period was two or three years of nightmares. Later, I was able to immediately...

      My Opinion on the Prototype of Elm Street Story

      This is a horror movie and I don't recommend anyone to watch it. Especially for audiences with poor psychological endurance, it is better not to watch such a film than to watch it. According to my personal experience, the prototype of the story of this film comes from a certain obsessive-compulsive disorder. People with OCD see many things that are not real as real because they have a strong sense of reality. For example, some people who are obsessive about knives are afraid to touch knives...

    Background creation

    The inspiration for "Most Ghost Street" comes from the childhood experience of director Wes Craven. When he was young, Craven saw an old man walking outside the window one night. The old man stopped and looked at Craven who was stunned. At a glance, it disappeared into the night, and the murderer in the film came from this. The story of the film was adapted from multiple articles published in the Los Angeles Times in the 1970s. The...

    Movie quotes

    • Nancy Thompson: The killer's still loose, you know.

      Lt. Thompson: You're saying somebody else killed Tina? Who?

      Nancy Thompson: I don't know who he is, but he's burned and he wears a weird hat and a red and green sweater, really dirty. And he uses these knives, like giant fingernails...

      Lt. Thompson: [cuts her off and guides her into the car, to Marge] You better keep her home for a few days, until she really gets over the shock of this.

      Marge Thompson: I've got something better. I'm going to get her some help.

    • Nancy Thompson: [referring to the Balinese way of dreaming] But what if they meet a monster in their dreams? Then what?

      Glen Lantz: They turn their back on it. Take away its energy and it disappears.

      Nancy Thompson: But what happens if they don't do that?

      Glen Lantz: Well, I guess those people don't wake up to tell what happens.

    • Marge Thompson: [to Nancy] Oh, I feel like a million bucks. They say you've bottomed out when you can't remember the night before.
