A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Okay that was a ridiculously hard assignment. This movie scared the living daylights out of me, but I saw a lot of stuff in the movie that I easily saw demonstrated in the books of Stephen King. First we see that the killer "Freddy Krueger" was not always AS EVIL as he turned into being. He first started preying on children but once the parents took revenge on him he came back stronger. Freddy Krueger gains the majority of his power off the fear of his prey. Also the way he finds his attacks most efficient is when he portrays to something he is not, most importantly something that is feared most by his prey. Considering that Freddy Krueger is not necessarily ALIVE he must attack only in dreams, but the scars left in dreams will come haunting into reality. There is a constant battle throughout the movie to kill Freddy, but you cannot just pretend to not be afraid you actually have to take control of the situation and put the fear behind you.
