Editorial Review - Amazon.com
Wes Craven's 1984 horror film is a better movie than it is generally credited for being. Forget the tawdry sequels; this highly original, almost surrealist work stars Robert Englund as a mutilated monster who kills teenagers during their dreams. Craven, who only directed one Elm Street sequel (Wes Craven's New Nightmare), takes the Hitchcockian step of layering in psychological explanations for the terror and then proving them all irrelevant in the face of mindless evil. The horror in the film is emotionally raw, in contrast to the overimaginative set pieces of most of the sequels that followed; and the final scene is as deeply unsettling as anything Luis Bunuel ever committed to film. --Tom Keogh
Pretty Definative
A Customer Review by Travis Corraro
This 2 disc definative edition of the film is truly definitive. It's picture is even better that the The Nightmare on Elm Street Collection. Besides picture quality the extras are very informative. So if you already own the The Nightmare on Elm Street Collection this DVD is worth paying for.
The film that started it all!
A Customer Review by Korn_Army
Since the NOES series is my favorite horror series of all time, I thought I'd write out reviews for all the movies.
Nightmare On Elm Street...an instant classic. How you can you beat an idea like falling asleep, being chased by someone like Freddy Krueger, killed in your dream, and dying for real while you sleep? It probably has to be one of the most innovative ideas in horror, ever!
The pace in this movie is great. Doesn't go too fast, doesn't go to slow where you lose interest. It's nice to be able to follow Nancy on her downward spiral into insanity. And how could you not get freaked out at how Tina was thrashed around the room? And how much blood shot up out of Glen's bed? This movie is a masterpeice.
