A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

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 Buñuel ever committed to film. --Tom Keogh Amazon.com

Classic Horror Movie

I LOVE this film, along with the rest of the movies in the series. If you've not seen this, then do yourself a favor and go out and buy it. I recommend this 2 disc version over the older single disc dvd. I already own the box set, but I desided to go out and buy this dvd as well...call me crazy. I found myself enjoying the Special Features disc alot. It has alot of things that the single dvd movie I already owned didn't offer. July 6, 2008

Let the nightmares begin.

I saw this one when I was still a teenager.
One of the best slasher movies ever made.
Untouchable even today it spawned a ton of sequels that stunk, (except part 3).
Still, the original is a master(slasherpiece)piece.
Freddy was just evil and disgusting in this movie. Too bad he became so comical in the sequels.
He was truly terrifying in the original.
A great script, a great idea, a great cast. Johnny Depp!!!!!!!!!
He looks out of place in this movie considering his later works of genius.
It's still good to see where they got their start.
There are three.........and only three.
Nightmare on Elm St. part one.
The original Halloween.
And Friday the 13th part 2.
The best of the best when it comes to the horror, slasher movies.
Highly recommended for adults not kids.

The Groundbreaker

A Nightmare on Elm Street is a film that focuses on what happens when people do not communicate well. It preys on the universal fear of the unknown, and what the unknown will bring. This is why ANOES is a classic film.

Craven has created a cast of characters that mesh together very well, and of course Robert Englund brings his own style to the archetypal Freddy Kreuger.

Additionally, the extras on these DVDs are RAD, there is so much stuff to discover that you'll be watching them for a long time. It also features an option that puts facts up while you're watching the film, you can select the facts and it will then show the bonus feature that accompanies it.

Overall, ANOES is the groundbreaker for the series, and many other horror films to follow it. Scared the crap out of me as a kid, and it still does. May 25, 2008
