I think this movie is supposed to be very scary but I can't say that it scared me at all. In fact the creepiest part was that morbid song the kids sing at the beginning: "One, Two, Freddy's coming for you" etc. The only reason I am giving it two stars is because it was a very good, different idea. The problem is that a horror movie is supposed to be just that: horrifying. I fell asleep during the movie, so obviously Freddy getting into my dreams was not a big issue. Maybe its a classic and I don't know what I am talking about, but I didn't like this movie much.
