Movie Reviews of A Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm Edition)
Movie Review: The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say about this edition is - it's about time!. After seeing numerous films get the deluxe treatment with special edition DVD's(some of which more than once, and some that should never even have the luxury), I never saw Nightmare getting the same. Where was Nightmare?. A huge, revolutionizing classic?. Finally, the only other film to scare me besides the original "Halloween", gets some overdue recognition. The end result is a wild and really fun and entertaining delight. By now, everyone knows the story, knows Freddy, and knows the movie, so there is no need to really get into the plot and whatnot. The 1984 classic turned horror upside down and created an iconic horror hero that looms large over the others. Writer/director Wes Craven made us uncomfortable and unsure of what we were seeing...and then scared the bejesus out of us. Sure, the movie is here and in excellent condition, but the real treasure is all the bonus stuff that is included. Disc 1 is the film itself, and it comes with an older commentary by Craven, Englund, Langenkamp, and Saxon. There is also a brand new commentary with pretty much everybody in front or behind the camera!. You can watch the film normally, or you can watch the "infinifilm" version. This allows you to watch the film with little facts popping up at the bottom of your screen. It also allows for others clips to pop up that you can get to that has a behind the scenes look at a certain scene, an "alternate" version, or someone from the cast or crew commenting on it. Very, very cool. The second disc comes with cool stuff. There is the trailer, 3 alternate endings, and a Freddy trivia game. "Never Dream Again" is a new 49 minute documentary on the making of the horror classic. Pretty much everybody(sans Nick Corri and, oddly, John Saxon)who was involved with the film is there and accounted for in this docu. A great, well put docu. "The House Freddy Built" is a 20 minute featurette on how the Freddy films pretty much put New Line Cinema on the map and how they grew from the gloved one's help. "Sweet Dreams" is a 15 minute featurette talking with authors, specialists, and others on dreams themselves and the dreams in the film. Interesting stuff. After the countless special releases of films on DVD, it's about time that this horror breakthrough finally got a good one of it's own. The movie is still great. It still holds up, still scares, and all the bonus features are fun, well made, and will delight any fan of this film. Now, how about some more special editions for more Freddy films, New Line?.
Summary of A Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm Edition)
Dig your claws into the original chilling masterpiece that spawned the greatest franchise ever! now remastered & featuring hours of new infinifilm extras. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 01/08/2008Wes 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
