As a major, major, fan of the slasher genre i was truly impressed. This movie isnt all that scary a few scenes where Freddy pops up out of no where that can make you jump but its not to bad, the violence is out dated and and probly won't be all that bad for anyone over 13 depending strongly on the person though, Freddy's pretty badly burned up, In one scene a character's chest is ripped open (you see her breasts very briefly RIGHT before), One is hung, One is sucked into and under their bed and blood shoots out of it (way, way, way more blood then the human body can actually hold), and there are some gory/ disturbing images, You hear a couple having sex with heavy moaning and you see the guy pull out but its not explicit, you see Nancy's breasts while she's taking a bath, language is somewhere between 4 and 7 F words, a few minor words and crude names for body parts. But overall it should be ok for anyone 13/14 and up.
