Summary: Extraordinary!
Review: I just bought the Nightmare Collection on DVD, and I have to say it's definitely one of the best things I have ever bought. The quality is phenominal...it's absolutely unbelievable what they did. You wouldn't even know the original movie was 15 years old if it weren't for the hair styles and clothes. The Commentary is great, especially for the first one. The 3D sequence in "Freddy's Dead" was kinda lame, but it's pretty cool that it actually came with 2 pairs of glasses and you have the option to watch it in 3D. I definitely recommend this.....you won't regret spending the money!

Summary: "The Ultimate Nightmare Has Become A Reality! "
Review: "The Ultimate Nightmare Has Become A Reality! I've searched a long time for the nightmares on video, but I couldn't find one of them. 'Till I saw this collection on DVD, it couldn't be better. And I was right, the picture quality is perfect and the sound is fabulous. The 8th disc is a fantastic final, with interviews, rare footage, video clips and a game where you can discover many rareties, while walking through familiar nightmare scenes. There's only 1 line to discribe this collection: "The Ultimate Nightmare Has Become A Reality! ".

Summary: A must for any TRUE horror film zealot
Review: How anyone who has a DVD player and loves horror movies could NOT pruchase this fantastic set is SICK IN THE HEAD! Having grown up in the mid-80s, all the nightmare films have a special place in my heart, with the first and last one being the best (Craven having written and directed them might have everything to do with it). Part 2 is the most trashed of all the sequels, but I was surprised how well it holds up over the years. Visually, it's like a comic book with all the bold colors and the gay subtext makes it all the more enjoyable. Part 3 seems to be the worst aged of them all, with a plot that makes not sense and some super-duper bad acting from Heather Langencamp (I think the director is mostly at fault, she was great in the first and last films). Part 4 is the most visually acomplished, with the most elaborate and creative deaths. Part 5 is also a visual treat, but one of the weaker entries. Also, since this is the definitive say on the nightmare series, you'd think that they would have shown The Dream Child UNCUT, but they don't, it's the R-rated version with heavy edits during the dream sequence with Yvonne. Part 6, which I saw in the theater when it was released, is the absolute WORST of the nightmare films. GOD, what an absolute mess! It's nice to be able to see the last 10 minutes in 3-D, but it's so LAME(you'd think the director would have know what she was doing, since she was involved with all but part 5). All transfers are amazing and properly letterboxed. The extras included in the DVDs are amazing, with in-depth interviews with a lot of the people behind the camera. Unfortuneatly, you have to play some dopey video-type game to get a lot of the extras, but I really can't complain.

Summary: The collection is a musty have for Freddy fans~
Review: The DVD collection of the Nightmare on Elm Street series is excellent. I already own the movies on VHS, but the feature of the collection are great. A lot of thought and production went into the release. the 3-D scenes were an excellent touch, I was always dissapointed the VHS release wasn't in 3-D. The bonus DVD with the pics, videos from the cast and crew, was very insightful, and quite entertaining to use. The method of almost Doom-like travel through the abandonded building was a lot of fun.

Summary: Freddy's Back with a BANG
Review: In Amazon.com's review of the Nightmare on Elm St. DVD box set, Halloween's Michael Myers is the "father," Friday the 13th's Jason is the "son," and NOES's Freddy Krueger is the "unholy spirit." In my opinion however, as best said by Freddy Krueger, "THIS IS GOD." I couldn't think of a better box set to be created. As a huge fan of the Nightmare on Elm ST. series (which can be seen on my reviews for the NOES 4 soundtrack on amazon.com), I was so excited to see the collection released on DVD that I bought it, then bought a DVD player so I could watch them. My friends thought I was a little nuts since I already own all 7 on VHS, but any true fan understands. Freddy isn't an icon, he's a part of history among all the greats (probably won't be taught in school but oh well). Many of today's top horror films run along the same lines as NOES where the killer(s) have personalities rather than going on a killing spree for who knows what dull reason (as so many horror films of the past exhibited). This box set does have it's small disappointments, however: NOES 5 is rated R. I have the unrated version on VHS and thought they'd use that on the DVD. And, at least on my dvd player, the labyrinth on the 8th disc has glitches but can be worked around with the chapter search. I was also surprised that scenes included in the criterion collection laserdisc of NOES 1 weren't included, i.e. the one where Nancy's mother tells Nancy that she wasn't an only child, Freddy killed her sibling years before. Yet these faults are small in contrast to what the box set does have, like interviews, behind the scenes footage, commentary, intervies, and much, much more. I only hope that when other series are put onto DVD in the future, they have features close to those in the Nightmare on Elm St. DVD box set.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This collection is everything that Freddy needed. It is a high quality product worth its price. As for the movies they are great, garantied entertainment. As it is with Darth Vader, Freddy Kruger is one of the most loved villains in the history of cinema, it is impossible to forget him, even in your dreams!!!

Summary: This series gets the recognition it deserves!
Review: I can't believe they did all of the films at once but thank god they did. This has been the best investment to DVD since the actual player! The picture quality on every one of the films is PERFECT! This is DVD at it's best! I have been a fan of the series since I was three and saw the third film. For years I had to put up with copy after copy of part 2,3 and 5 being flawed in quality(NO MORE!!!). THe films have never been remastered in quality until now finally they are perfect, all of them. I would have payed five hundred dollars for this set. Thank you New line.
