Claws of the Night : a classic of American horror cinema
In 1984 filmmaker Wes Craven directs Freddy – Chapter 1: Claws of the Night, the very first opus centered on the legend of Freddy Krueger. At that time, Wes Craven was already a big name in American horror cinema since he had already directed The last house on the left, Summer of fear, but above all The hills Have Eyes. Claws of the Night was doomed to become a huge classic of the genre.
At the time of its release, the feature film brought in more than $ 25 million in box office revenue. New Line Cinema then decides to produce sequels. In all, 9 films have seen the light of day, the last of which was released in 2010. Also note that Claws of the Night was one of Johnny Depp’s first movie roles and that Robert Englund has stuck with the role of Freddy for decades.
