Movie Reviews of A Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm Edition)
Movie Review: THE BEST OF THE SERIES BY A MILE!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am reviewing the entire Nightmare on Elm Street series, but not this DVD release. I own the box set and I wanted to do individual reviews for each film.
The original "Nightmare" was considered very scary for it's time, but I never really felt that way about the film. I thought the film had some creepy visuals and a scary idea(don't fall asleep), but it never really got under my skin.
I was weaned on films like Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy and The Wolfman, so atmosphere was pretty high on my list for what makes a great horror movie!
That's not to say that Nightmare on Elm Street doesn't deserve some credit. Compared to The Friday the 13th series, it's got way more story, although I have always found Jason a pretty menacing creature of the night!
The film has it's moments and we see a young Johnny Depp casted as one of the victims, but it's hardly a classic....just very good Halloween fun! The DVD transfer on the box set it very good and it has some interesting extras.
Summary of A Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm Edition)
Nancy is having nightmares about a frightening badly-scarred figure who wears a glove with razor-sharp "finger knives". She soon discovers that her friends are having similar dreams. When the kids begin to die Nancy realizes that she must stay awake to survive. Uncovering the secret identity of the dream killer and his connection with the children of Elm Street the girl plots to draw him out into the real world.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR Rating:?R UPC:?794043104190 Manufacturer No:?N10419Wes 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 Bu?uel ever committed to film. --Tom Keogh
