First two sequels are decent, but feel much different than the first. The second movie is more tonally similar, but a lot more of a personal and slow moving story. The third movie starts to show Freddy in the comedic light that later sequels overdo, but still keep his intimidating aura. The third is probably the one most fans would recommend.

3 and new nightmare are good. 4/5 are okay. Reboot is trash. 2 and 6 are crap. FvJ is entertaining but not good

Its my personal favorite horror film ever. There are objectively better horror movies, obviously, but I personally love the themes of Nightmare, and Im a sucker for stories that blur the line between illusion/dreams and reality, which the first one does extremely well.

Robert Englund also knocks his performance out of the park, along with Heather Langenkamp, who is my favorite of the final girls in slasher films. She is ultra resourceful, while still being believable, and takes the fight directly to Freddy at the end. Freddy is so charismatic that we guiltily love and root for him, even though he is an unrepentant child killer, and truthfully a pedo, which they cut the direct lines about that out from the OG film due to a scandal going on at the time in California, but it is still obvious to anyone paying attention to the subtext, especially in the later films (and I dont mean the remake, where they say it outright). It takes quite a performance to make a character like that likable, in a twisted, black humor type of way, but Englund pulls it off in spades.

You also have to give Craven and the crew of the film big props making that movie work as well as it does on the shoe string budget they were working with, and they werent doing basic kills like Friday the 13th and Halloween. The dream sequences required creativity and some innovative tricks to make work.

One of my favorite movies ever (horror or otherwise), and definitely my favorite slasher.

Thoughts on the other:
2 is weird but watchable
3 is great
4 is ok
5 sucks, except for when Freddy actually kills people, the kills are incredibly creative even for this series
6 is worse
New Nightmare is the best one after the first one
FvJ is fun, but not as good as it could've been
have not seen the remake

Yeah, it's great. The only knock I have is it's one of those things you're already aware of before you see it so a lot of the movie and its story beats kind of lose the luster. Sort of like Alien or the original Dracula.

Yeah, Elm Street is Slasher not Torture Porn. They are different horror sub-genres. If you don't like watching violence, that's one thing, but not all movie violence is Torture Porn.

People still get killed on screen, yes, but both the approach and overall appeal are pretty different. Slashers are generally a little less about getting immersed in on-screen suffering and more about the general pursuit of the antagonist and protagonist and kills are usually brief and silly.
