Product Description

Product Description

Debut film for everyone's favourite psychotic slasher, Freddy Krueger. When American teenager Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suffer from nightmares, she discovers that many of her friends are having similarly disturbed nights' sleep. Their dreams are haunted by the hideously scarred former child murderer Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) who, it soon transpires, has the power to kill them in their sleep. Freddy is out to exact his revenge on the children of those who burned him alive in retribution for his crimes. The only way to avoid Freddy's reprisals is to avoid sleep, but Nancy knows that she can't stay awake for ever.

From Amazon.co.uk

Nightmare on Elm Street is the only Elm street film that falls into the "really scary" category. A dead murderer returns in the dreams of the children of his old enemies, and torments them. Wes Craven tamps down the humour that would overtake the films and goes all out for shivers. There are several memorably surreal horror sequences involving tongued telephones and bottomless baths as Craven's unhealthy imagination runs riot. With Heather Langenkamp as the plucky Nancy, John Saxon and Ronee Blakely as her dim bulb parents, Amanda Wyss and young Johnny Depp as teen victims, and Robert Englund as "Fred" Krueger. -- Kim Newman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Horror..especially something made for 1984
By Winchester on 18 Feb. 2011
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Nightmare on Elm Street was indeed for most people what started it all. I grew up hearing about it, fearing the name Fred Krueger and those razor-fingers. But I had never watched it. So, up till that time I had watched my far share of horror films and thus had a lot to compare with > not to mentioned new stuff that should easily surpass it. But, I admit, i was kept holding on right through this film. Fred Krueger is a monster who comes to kill you in your dreams. Going after all the children who's parents were the cause for Freddy's death, one by one he picks them off as revenge. It is a killer film, & I Give it top score based on how old the film actually is and still packs a kick.
The Blu-Ray transfer is fantastic, no broaden footage or trailing imagery. Quality is superb. The sound, however, as smooth as it is, sometimes sounds a bit muffled. The Sound is the only standard inconsistancy that reminds you that the movie is in fact old. One minute you need to up the volume to hear what the character's are saying and then it is way too loud when the action starts and Fred's on the prowl.

Either way, see for yourself. The transfer makes it worth it.

This song will become all too familiar to you:
'One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, grab your crucifix.
Seven, eight, gotta stay up late.
Nine, ten, never sleep again.'

4.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best and most important horror films ever done
By Elleppi on 9 Sept. 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
An excellent blu ray transfer to celebrate this milestone in horror cinema. A film that is still scary after 30 years, thanks to the brilliant genius of Wes Craven, who not only created a whole new saga (that still remains unique with few other films trying to imitate it) but also tried new storytelling and visual solutions. Nightmare is a film that entertain and disturbs, introducing a brilliant new actor like John Englund (and a young Johnny Depp), and briliantly exploit the idea of confusion between reality and dream producing an infinite series of other films which will use that potential to create totally genre-free films, where everything can happen, since nothing must be bound to realism or to a single genre (see chapter 4 and 5).
So NIghtmare is not just the best film of the saga and a totally mesmerizing film, but a real groundbreaking experiment

5.0 out of 5 starsDream Attack.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 3 May 2015
Format: DVD
The kids of Elm Street appear to be having the same bad dream, one in which a scarred faced bogeyman in a stripy jumper hunts them with knives attached to his fingers. When the dream becomes a reality for one of the kids, and the worst happens, Nancy Thompson risks all to bring the bogeyman into the open.

Stupendous horror movie, one that not even the ream of sequels, spin- offs and cartoons could ever diminish. Wes Craven creates a film of utter terror, unleashing one of the genres most famous monsters on the unsuspecting film loving public, with Robert Englund as the hideous Fred Krueger having the time of his life slashing away and delivering oral venom.

A number of scenes and sequences are staggeringly memorable, in the process shifting into horror movie folklore. The youthful cast are sensibly written (Craven's screenplay that took inspiration from a true story he read about Cambodian refugees literally dying of nightmares!), they are not dumb these kids, just vulnerable, but led by Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) there may be hope of some survivors?

The blurry line between dreams and reality gets a bloody make-over here, creating biblical snoots in the process. In short, essential horror movie for those inclined. 9/10

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent
By mxd10 on 19 Dec. 2006
Format: DVD
I already own both the Region 1 and Region 2 boxsets of the NOES series. So naturally, I was a little apprehensive about getting a third copy of this film on DVD. But it's a 2 disc special edition, and one of my favourite films of all time, so why not?

It was worth it. Not only are the picture quality and sound the best they have ever been, but the bonus features are amazing. There are a whole bunch of new interesting interviews and documentaries, featuring much of the cast and crew. There are lots of wonderfully insightful alternate scenes, including some nicely polished alternate endings. These are much better than the shabby black and white alternate endings from the Region 1 boxset. There are also some cool bloopers and behind the scenes shots.

There's also a nice new commentary track, FINALLY featuring Robert Englund. However, it's not a "real" commentary track, it's a bunch of interviews spliced over the top of the film. Sadly, this doesn't allow for any rapport between the various voices, they're not always talking about what is specifically happening, and it can be rather boring at times. Luckily, the original commentary is also included, so it redeems itself there.

There are some things missing, so this is not quite the "definitive" release. The deleted scenes from the trailer that didn't make it into the film, for one. But all in all, it's a very good release, and well worth getting.

4.0 out of 5 starsDifferent,the First is always the best!
By Tony Fox on 2 May 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The ground breaking original,great idea from Wes Craven,easily a hit. For horror fans a must have. Fred Krueger is a child murderer that gets off prison on some technicality. So all the parents in the area of Elm Street, gang together and burn him to death alive! He returns,but only in the dreams of teenagers,with some pretty gory results,with his lethal bladed hand. Trouble is, he is hard to kill off in dreams,as the dreams prove fatal in reality.Great eerie start with Tina. Buy this one! Now for the others..
Nightmare 2) Not a bad follow up,this time with some comic moments. Three stars.
" 3) Great to see the original cast again on this. Three stars.
" 4) Like this one,great special effects,and a terrific ending. This is where the series should have ended. It seemed like the perfect ending for Freddy. Four stars.
Nightmare 5) Stupid. Two stars
Nightmate 6) Stupid again,to the bounds of sillyness. Equal to a 12 certificate. (Swearing edited). One star.
Then 'Wes Craven's new nightmare' 1994. Nancy back again,only as actress Heather Langenkamp,and the rest of the crew playing THEMSELVES! This time Heather visits Wes Craven,that is writing a new end to Freddy,in the real world,but only Freddy can be really finished off if Heather plays 'Nancy' one more time. Not bad this one,but should not have used Heather's son 'Dylan' in the film..far too young,silly really. Should have brought back Tina,from Nightmare One, She was the first to die in her dream,would have been perfect. Three stars.
Hope this helps if you want to buy them seperately.
