nightmare

Nightmare, the demon devours people from sleep... In fact, before watching this movie, I already knew the demon character of this movie, and also saw this movie from a novel, Elm Street, The demon in your sleep, devouring your fear and soul, tearing your body to pieces, death and demons...

From the plot point of view, for some reason, the two girls Tina, Nancy and Rod start to be disturbed by nightmares, while Nancy's boyfriend Gelan was also implicated. The nightmare should be the dream world created by Freddie. In the dream, Freddie kills people, and the body of the killed person also suffers the same damage in the dream. On the other hand is the origin of Freddie. From Nancy's mother's account, Freddie was a murderer who killed young children, although because of the evidence he was not caught and was eventually trapped by the victim's parents. Also died in the ignited fire, so Freddy is not a human, is it a demon? If it can be called a demon, it is also a demon that can walk through and create nightmares, and in the end Freddie was actually removed from the dream world by Nancy. Bringing it out also proves that Freddy is not just a dream, but a fact, whether this is called a devil or something else.

Regarding the attitude of Nancy's parents, Nancy's father can understand it well. He is an active police officer and has cases to deal with. It is understandable if he does not understand his daughter's situation. But her mother's attitude was difficult to understand or intolerable. She clearly confirmed that her daughter was injured in the dream, she knew Freddie, but she drank all day long, locked Nancy at home, and asked her to sleep. What's hard to understand is why Nancy's mother keeps Freddie's relics, what is her mentality towards Freddie? Regret? As a murderer, how can she regret being burned in the end; afraid? It may be, but drinking to avoid It's a bit too strange to be different from the previous two~

Of course, this is just a horror movie, you just need to enjoy this thrill. If you pursue too much, you lose your original intention. Haha, this is still Johnny Depp's debut, I didn't recognize Freddie's ghostly look.

I have always watched horror movies with the lights off and hiding in the room alone. This movie is not. Even if the lights are on, even if I am alone in the room, the noise outside the door dilutes a lot of the terrifying atmosphere. Watching a movie needs atmosphere, even everything. If you want to be completely close to the original meaning, the external environment is very important. Therefore, judging the feelings of a horror film is not objective enough. The mood is different, the environment is different, and the natural subjective feelings are also different. And time always changes everything, so these words are just the feelings of this moment, and there will be no more of this moment.
