5.0 out of 5 stars It's worth it for episode 1., 23 Aug 2003
By A Customer
Ok, the series was damp, the acting was to be desired & the camera work was a tad dodgy at times. However Ep1 "No more Mr. Nice Guy" is quite terrific.

This ep tells the story of how Freddy Krueger becomes the dream demon that he is. Although it does slightly differ from the story that original Nightmare films tell us, it is very interesting to view.

You are able to witness Freddy's first dream victom, which for me as a hardcore fan was quite a treat. You also get to see the trial and find out what the technicallity is that sets Freddy free from being locked up.

I think for any Nightmare On Elm St / Freddy Krueger fans this Episode is great. The other episodes are very bad though, infact I wouldnt bother with any of the other episodes at all except the sequal to "No more Mr. Nice Guy" which entitled "Sister's Keeper".

3.0 out of 5 stars NOW PUT SOME ACTORS IN IT!!!, 21 Dec 2007
By Peter J. Hodgson "Grim" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Freddy is balls to the wall legend, his spin off wishfully tries to live up to the films by occasionally casting up and coming actors like Lori Petty, Brad Pitt (not famous then) and a few others. Why this series had failed is more to do with the dire acting than the silly and occasionally OTT freaky tales...the acting is okay in some however. Tobe Hooper opens the series with a prequel, nothing we didnt already know and where the films and comic series from the late 80's depicted Freddy's killers as the parents of Nancy, Kincaid, Kristen, Joey and many others here we just cant feel for them the way we should as we dont really know them, bad actors. Freddy's Nightmares Tales from the crypt with Freddy opening and closing each episode with a great or weak joke or a sinister line as the cryptkeeper did. Some episodes are badly filmed as much as badly acted but there are quality episodes here, Its a miserable life is freaky with great cinamatography. Mick Garris directed a few too. Credit to Robert Englund for enduring the hours of make-up to appear very briefly in each episode its just a shame the quality wasnt consistent. The episode where Freddy hooks up with the woman who stood him up at the prom is class and funny, mainly there are approx 15 episodes of the two seasons that Freddy is integral to and these are good and cheesey its just unfortunate that the complete series isnt availble yet. This series has been in the ashes for a long time dripping with shame but it is Freddy and should be amongst the rest of the Krueger DVD's in your collection so buy it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Transfer from Video to DVD is CRAP!, 3 July 2003
By Robert Nimmo "Highlander/Freddy Krueger Fan" (Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I can't believe how horrible the transfer is. I have 3rd generation copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy episodes on tape that looked crisper and clearer than what this disc presents. Horrible cases of pixilization throughout all 3 episodes.

Until they decide to REALLY clean up, digitally remaster and release all 44 episodes in DVD boxed sets, everyone would be better off sticking with the VHS releases.
