i was 12 when seeing my first Freddy Kruger movie at a sleepover. I was fascinated and not really scared when watching (i was watching really closely), but i had nightmares nonetheless.
There has only been one movie in my life where i stopped watching because i couldn't take it anymore, and that was The Hunt. I was 41 at that point, and also had nightmares afterwards.
E: My reason for the nightmares were the screaming unfairness and that he couldn't make anyone listen. That hit too close to my childhood for me.
As an adult, realizing that Freddy was a child predator and that the neighborhood parents took justice into their own hands completely changed my view on the movie.
