Movies starring Robert Englund

Thou Shalt Not Kill (1982)

100 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

"Thou Shalt Not Kill" is one of those movies which proves that a movie doesn't have to be good to be entertaining. Now I don't mean that "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is a bad movie, although some of the acting is at times laughably ...

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

91 mins     Horror      

It's strange, as a movie fan I have never been a huge horror fan and as such in my teens I didn't care to watch "A Nightmare on Elm Street" yet thanks to it's iconic status I knew so much about it. So now over 25 years after ...

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

87 mins     Fantasy, Horror, Thriller      

Watching the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street" recently there was part of me which was impressed whilst also a part of me which was disappointed. Sadly watching the second movie in the franchise "A Nightmare on Elm Street ...

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)

96 mins     Fantasy, Horror, Thriller      

To be honest I thought "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2" sucked, lacking in so many areas and so much it took a lot to watch "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" as I expected more pointless, unimaginative nonsense....

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)

93 mins     Fantasy, Horror      

It would be fair to say that the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies are like a rollercoaster, every good movie is followed by a bad movie. So whilst "A Nightmare on Elm Street" was good "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2" was te...

A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989)

89 mins     Fantasy, Horror      

The first 4 "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies were a rollercoaster which went good, bad, good and then bad again so theoretically the 5th movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child" should once more be good. Unfortunate...

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)

89 mins     Family, Horror      

Having slowly been working my way through "The Nightmare on Elm Street" movies, and trust me you don't want to watch too many in a row, I find myself up to "Nightmare on Elm Street 6" or "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" t...

Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)

112 mins     Fantasy, Horror      

In 1984 Wes Craven gave us "A Nightmare on Elm Street" a movie which not only set a benchmark for horror but also launched a horror franchise. Then came the sequels, sequels which without Wes Craven directing often failed to ...

The Unspoken Truth (1995)

88 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

What happens when you cross "Back to the Future" with "A Nightmare on Elm Street", you get "The Unspoken Truth". Okay so what I mean is that this made for TV movie stars Lea Thompson and features Robert Englund in a supportin...

Wishmaster (1997)

90 mins     Fantasy, Horror      

So after an opening which takes us back to 1127 A.D. and what looks like Han Solo stuck in a wall we get to the main storyline. Although saying that "Wishmaster" has a storyline is really pushing the boundaries of what passes...

Urban Legend (1998)

99 mins     Horror      

"Urban Legend" is basically "Scream", we have a mixed group of typical teenagers, some serious some comical and we have a serial killer at loose who not only as we learn has a motive but seems to be targeting those close to N...

2001 Maniacs (2001)

87 mins     Comedy, Horror      

It's Friday night, kick back order the pizza, get a few cold ones out the fridge and slap on "2001 Maniacs" as this remake of "Two Thousand Maniacs!" is perfect viewing for the end of the week when you just want a movie which...

Zombie Strippers (2008)

94 mins     Comedy, Horror, Sci-Fi      

Even watching "Zombie Strippers" in the full knowledge of what it is, and come on with a title like that who could watch expecting anything other than bad, it is still a bad movie. It tries for satire as it mocks the Bush adm...
