That part where Freddy's arms are fishing rods
In A Nightmare on Elm Street, this is the only effect in the entire film that I feel is not up to snuff. It really takes me out of it, and scary quickly becomes silly. However, it's early enough in the movie, and the rest of the film contains pretty top notch effects considering the budget, that it recovers and it is truly a classic of horror. I love Nightmare, Freddy, the whole series really (not the remake,) but this moment always stands out to me. Are there any other movies that have one and only one moment that tarnishes their otherwise flawless reputation?
