The Nightmare On Elm Street 1-6 Collection (Six Disc Box Set) [DVD]

Nightmare On Elm Street - a classic film, both unnerving and entertaining. Introduces us to Freddy Krueger. He terrorises teenagers in their dreams. Good performances and a scary movie.

Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge - Freddy attacks a new teenager and uses his body to move from the dreamworld into the real world. Hated by fans, but isn't too awful. Keeps Freddy scary and has some homoerotic overtones.

Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors - one of the best in the series. Nancy from the original returns to help kids in a hospital who dream of Freddy. Has a memorable Freddy moment, the legendary TV death. Entertaining, but not very scary. First in mini "Dream Trilogy".

Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master - second in "Dream Trilogy". Doesn't have much of a plot and Freddy is not scary. Easily the worst in the series. Freddy just wisecracks and the characters are underdeveloped.

Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child - last in "Dream Trilogy". Gives us insight into Freddy's past. An unborn child is possesed by Freddy. Freddy becomes a total joke in this film, but is it somewhat scarier than #4.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare - the last film in this set. Freddy's daughter tries to stop him once and for all. Pays homages to some past moments, but is not scary at all. This set does not have the 3D ending, so it looks horrible. No extras on this disc which is criminal.

This box set is a good purchase for a Freddy fan, but New Nightmare and Freddy Vs Jason are missing (the latter can be understood, but the former's absence is unforgivable). Nicwely presented, although #6 feels "tacked on" as a set similar to this was released previously.

nightmare on elm street: the first and probably the best one. dvd is not to shabby, one commentary featuring wes craven, john saxon and heather langenkamp and a trailer... at least its got more than the others! look out for johnny deep in his first role.

freddys revenge: this is poor, avoid this like the plauge. it makes no sence and the acting is below standard. poor.

dream warriors: the only film that comes close to the orginal. is almost my favourite one. theres two reasons why this one is good, nancy returns and wes craven co wrote it. when they team up, the film just seems to work. and "this is prime time b*tch" is just a classic! a trailer and a brilliant music video are on the dvd.

dream master: bit pants, but not that bad. introduces us to alice and dan. freddy is quite funny in this film and overall the film works. a trailer and cast and crew stuff (big whop!)

dream child: this film doesnt really explain how freddy comes back and for that reason i didnt like it that much. its not to bad though. remember the kid in jurassic park who calls the velocorapter a 'big turkey'? he plays alice's kid in this film! a trailer and 2 appaluing rap videos are on the dvd. there worth watching for how bad they are!

freddys dead: i enjoyed this. a good homage to the films and a nice ending. although we dont get the 3d version so it does look a bit pants. but the thing that annoyed me the most was there are NO special features! nothing! whats all that about?! look out for Breckin Meyer in an early role (hes playing jon in the new garfield movie). wes craven apperantly didnt like this film and what they did to freddy, hence new nightmare!

all in all, its not to bad. the films are good for horror fans and if you havent seen these, i suggest you do! i would have given it 5 stars but the lack of features annoyed me. we want documentaires and commentaries, we'll never watch them but at least wed have the option!

buy this, its the best were gonna get! unless you have a region one player, i suggest you get the american one!

I watched all the movies one after the other and was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

a must for any horror fans

thats it am gonna get the halloween movies and the friday 13th movies now.

these are brilliance
