I Am Nancy is a 2011 American documentary focused on actress Heather Langenkamp's experience playing the iconic character Nancy Thompson from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise[2]

Plot

Actress Heather Langenkamp explores her role as Nancy in A Nightmare on Elm Street, the fandom that surrounds the franchise, and why most of it focuses on Freddy Krueger, rather than Nancy.

Cast

Production

Langenkamp was inspired to make a documentary about herself and Nancy after a receptionist rebuffed her efforts to contact director Wes Craven.[3][4] The film was originally planned to coincide with the 25th anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street but was delayed for her participation in Never Sleep Again. Langenkamp felt that documentary did not answer all the questions that she had. Production took two years.[5]

Release

I Am Nancy premiered at the Days of the Dead film festival.[1]

Reception

Emilie Noetzel of Dread Central rated it 4/5 stars and wrote, "I Am Nancy is a must-see for fans of the A Nightmare on Elm Street series and of Heather Langenkamp."[6]
