Blurring the boundaries between what’s real and imagined, Wes Craven’s slasher masterpiece is without a doubt the OG teen-horror film that, 40 years later, still manages to unnerve, shock, gross-out and thrill its audiences. Birthing Freddy Krueger, everyone's favourite bogeyman, Nightmare also spawned an epic franchise and countless imitations. But it’s the original movie that remains beloved for its clever story, deliberate casting and innovative approach to special effects.
This sinister and darkly funny film can be analysed for its exploration of Freudian themes or enjoyed as a terrifying rollercoaster ride inside the dreamscapes of Elm Street’s teenagers. Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep!
Includes a pre-screening introduction and live performance by Venus Mantrap
