this is the first freddy movie, gurenteed to take you for a ride this film is the freshman effort by wes craven (writer/director. with many sequils and spin offs, all classics on there own, this fild is the one that started it all the Nightmares. Total classic and what better way to relive your childhood horrors than special edition style with lots of bonus content and remastered picture and sound!!! Awsum purly awsum!!!
I actually saw this movie when it was first released and I loved it from the start..to make things simple I'll reveiw the entire Nightmare series..The tagline is right "whatever you do don't fall asleep" this movie gave me nightmares, but as I grew older I came to appreciate the quality of the film not the scare factor. Now I prefer movies like the Grudge but Freddy still rocks..Part one was the best, here you are introduced to sweet kids they do cuss too much and the sex is in your face (actually in just one scene), but that doesn't last too long. Part two well it was awful..the acting was terrible that could be because the script sucked and so did the storyline..part three made up for it they brought back my favorite Character Nancy Thompson and the Actress who made her famous Heather Langenkamp..the story line was great, the acting was perfect only problem I had was Kristens constant screaming she gave me a headache! Part 4 was right on target too..they brought in a new actress to play Kristen..Tuesday Knight (I just love that name) she also sings, the opening song is sung by her! Her boyfriend is cute, sweet and silly I liked him from the start...the storyline was as good as the storyline in one and 3 we get to see a new character grow from a shy repressed teenager to a confident young woman who fights back..part five dealt with a whole new slew of victims..some characters were not my favorite..Debbie was a waste of time..the actress playing her was great, but the character was waay too over the top! Again the storyline was great..this movie series has a bad habit of making you like the characters then killing them off! part 6 dealt more with Freddys origins we find out more about the sicko who preys on children, this one was suppose to be the final nightmare, but the fans kicked so they made yet another film part 7 brought back Heather in a very unique way I wont spoil it, but suffice it to say this is another favorite of mine! Heather is great the little boy playing her son is cute engaging and very smart for his age! The final nightmare movie brings together two cinema horror legends Freddy (of course) and Jason Vorhees from the "Friday The 13th" series..I wasn't sure about this idea, but it does work.. my only problem was with how they downsized Jason (he's a big Man uh monster) so Freddy (who has a smaller skinnier frame) would be an even match..I believe that took away from the excitement of the fight scenes..even with that this movie is still fun to watch..the script was very unique the characters were engaging and the thrills and chills were still there..again this one is very gory lots of blood and guts so put the kiddies to bed before turning on this one! Do yourself a favour start with the first nightmare then work your way down the list..you can skip part two if you want to it's not really inline with the series anyway, but if you feel compelled to watch it anyway..keep in mind I warned you..the only good scene is the bus scene at the beginning..but after that it gets corny..the screams are forced, part two is just not a good movie!! But Elm Street 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are do not miss flicks! So pop the popcorn, grab the sodas, munch on the chips and candy better yet, order a pizza and enjoy!!Read full review

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought this dvd for our our children to watch as they LOVE scary movies! We've seen all The "Freddy" movies and when this first one came out I was all but 9 years old myself. I personally feel the first one was the Best "Freddy" movie!! All the rest to follow seem to be just be "stupid". However, our children really loved this classic 80's thriller and they are only 6 and 11 year old!! I'm sure they would just love it if a another Nighmare on Elm Street would be in the making. We would def. have to take them to the theatre to see that as well - I'm sure!!
I actually bout the Nightmare on Elm Street collection which included the first 7 nightmare movies. This one was the absolute best! I loved the sequels but the original was the best in my opinion. The special features are cool and the quality of the movie is way better than the VHS version I had. I recommend this movie to any and all horror movie fans =D The best bargain is to buy the entire collection because if you buy each one separately your gonna end up paying a lot more than you could have.
