The whole story is based around molestation and the kids regaining memories and finding photos of it. Like, literally the whole movie.

The protagonists and multiple other teenagers are being hunted down by Freddy for the entire film, and while this isn’t the usual form of stalking, I believe it still counts as they’re constantly afraid of him showing up and harming them.

Multiple people are constantly told that they are being ridiculous for thinking a dream is real, that they should just relax, or that it’s all in their heads and nothing bad will happen. I do think this is an example of gaslighting, even though it wasn’t intentional and the people doing it didn’t know any better at that point in the story.

Gaslight: “manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity.”

While there is no real addiction, there is a scene in which Quentin has to beg the pharmacist for more adderal to stay awake because the pharmacist assumes Quentin is popping them. Quentin is seen using these pills throughout the movie to avoid sleeping.

Not in this film. Nancy’s mother is an alcoholic in the original and in the first draft script for 2010, but not in the 2010 film.

Quentin is seen using “Zoneral” which is essentially Adderall throughout the movie to stay awake. He also steals syringes of medical adrenaline and is seen using it on himself once and then once again to wake up Nancy.

There’s many mentions of sexual assault. Spoilers ahead: Freddy Krueger is established as a pedophile who sexually assaulted many (if not all) of the kids who went to Badham Preschool. There are scenes where Parents discuss what happened, and a scene where Quentin and Nancy find proof of his happening. But there is also a scene near the end of the film where Freddy has Nancy restrained and it is very heavily implied that he is about to assault her. This scene goes on for a while before Quentin saves her.

Spoilers: In Quentin’s dream-sequence Freddy is shown being trapped in a building and then burned alive by use of a molotov by the parents of the children he assaulted. It shows him on fire before rushing out of the building towards Quentin, where you can see him burning. Quentin and Nancy also attempt to burn his "dead" body at the end of the film.

A long hospital scene where Quentin brings Nancy in after being attacked by Freddy. Nancy is shown being extremely distressed. Quentin is also driven off in an Ambulance at the end of the film. And while this isn’t in the original cutting, one of the alternate beginnings of the film shows Freddy in the hospital after being burnt alive.
