Freddy Krueger (Roberto Lombardi) is released from police custody as
there's no actual proof that he's indeed the serial killer known as the Springwood
Slasher - at least not in the context of this movie. However, the
parents of the children murdered by the slasher have long made up their
mind that he's guilty, so that very same night they attack his hide-out
armed with Molotov-cocktails and pretty much burn him alive ... but Freddy
receives a "second chance" in afterlife - and the clawed glove
that would make him famous ... 15 years later: Mary (Jessica Buda),
whose son Mikey (Jacob Flowers) had been killed by the Springwood Slasher
and who had been part of the lynching party, still hasn't come over her
loss, so her psychoanalyst (Shannon McDermott) proposes hypnotherapy - not
a good idea, since while she's under she relives the loss of her child
once more - and she meets Freddy, who might not be alive anymore, but now
he's master over the realm of dreams ... Fifth in Chris R.
Notarile's fan film series Krueger:
Tales from Elm Street movies, this one can be seen as a direct
prequel to the original A
Nightmare on Elm Street, as it more or less directly sets up the
events of that movie, and also shows a more serious side of Freddy
Krueger, before he has become a bundle of oneliners, as witnessed in the
later entries into the A
Nightmare on Elm Street series. But while it's certainly
preferable for one to have previous knowledge of Freddy
Krueger, Krueger: The Legend of Elm Street also works
well as a standalone supernatural thriller miniature, it's creepy and
suspenseful in all the right places, goes for atmosphere rather than
spectacle to freak one out, is based on a strong script and solid
performances. Definitely something not only fans of the A
Nightmare on Elm Street series will find easy to enjoy!
