Teenagers in a small town are dropping like flies, apparently in the grip of mass hysteria causing their suicides. A cop's daughter, Nancy Thompson, traces the cause to child molester Fred Krueger, who was burned alive by angry parents many years before. Krueger has now come back in the dreams of his killers' children, claiming their lives as his revenge. Nancy and her boyfriend, Glen, must devise a plan to lure the monster out of the realm of nightmares and into the real world...
Craven weaponizes the one act you cannot refuse: sleep. The terror here is exhaustion itself, a slow erosion of the line between waking and dreaming until you no longer trust either. It works on the body like insomnia, priming you to fear the moment your own eyes grow heavy.
