Customer Reviews

Could have done something new
As a whole, I give the entire Nightmare series 5 stars. Well maybe all except Freddy's Dead. But besides that, these 4-film fan packs are great. Inside of leaving reviews for both packs, I'll just list a few problems I have with them:

1. They have the same menus that are found in the Nightmare DVD boxset, and individual DVD releases. They could have at least done something new with the menus for a new release.

2. If your looking for deleted scenes from Freddy Vs. Jason, they aren't on here. It's just your standard widescreen/full screen movie with trailer and commentary.

3. An unrated version of Dream Child on DVD would be nice. I know it's next to impossible to get though cause apparently the film master got ruined and they can't transfer it to DVD. Ahh well...at least their is the trusty old VHS.

Besides these three problems, this set is good for two things. It's a nice addition to anyone's Freddy collection. And it's good for those who like to have Nightmare marathons.

5 6, Grab Your Crucifix, 7 8, Gonna Stay Up Late!!!
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5- I've read some reviews on this movie, and a lot of people don't like it. I honestly didn't think it was too bad! The night before graduation, Dan and Alice are having sex, then the nightmares begin again. Alice is in the shower, then she's transported to the asylum where Amanda Krueger was raped and where Freddy was born. (Robert Englund does another awesome job as Freddy Krueger!) If Alice can find Amanda in the real world, Freddy will die. Freddy is reborn and instead of haunting Alice's dreams, he haunts her unborn baby's dream, mixing reality and the real world. During her dreams, she sees her son, Jacob as a child, trying to help her stop Freddy. There was one cool part when Freddy is on a skateboard, coming after Alice's friend. A gross part for me was when Freddy is making Greta eat a lot of food at the 'rich-people' party her mom is having. Another friend, Yvonne tries to find Amanda while Alice tries to stop Freddy from haunting her child's dreams. If you love the Freddy series, and teenage pregnancies, you'll love A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5: THE DREAM CHILD!!!

Freddy's Dead- After trying to kill Alice and her unborn baby, Freddy is back and trying to get in touch with his daughter! His daughter is now an adult and working as a psychiatrist. She tries to help rebellious teens with their problems. When she meets a guy who claims he doesn't know who he is, she takes him to Springwood so he'll remember something. Meanwhile, the teens go to an abandoned house to get away from things. I think it's kinda funny when Freddy is attacking a deaf kid in his dreams, and Freddy is right behind him trying to get his attention. I also like when they show Freddy in the past when he was a kid, then as a teenager, then before the parents burned him alive, and the demon worms pick him to do the thing he is best known for. Can Freddy's daughter put an end to him once and for all? If you love the Freddy series, hopefully, you'll love FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE!!!

Wes Craven's New Nightmare- After The Final Nightmare, Wes Craven is having nightmares again, so he decides to write a new script. Beacuse the Nightmare films have ended, the 'real' Freddy decides to come to our world. Wes Craven, Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, John Saxon are some of Freddy's targets he tries to kill. He tries to get Heather's son, Dylan too. The real Freddy is a lot scarier and more evil than Robert Englund could ever portray! Heather decides to play Nancy one last time and kill Freddy...for good! If you love the Nightmare series, and a movie within a movie, you might like WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE!!!

Freddy Vs. Jason- If you love A Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th, or both, you'll definitely love Freddy Vs. Jason! Freddy is trying to come back again, but since no one remembers him, he sends Jason Voorhees to Elm Street and kill to get people to remember. When Jason doesn't back down, Freddy gets pissed and have an all-out battle at Camp Crystal Lake. I love the awesome fighting sequences between them. I love all the blood and gore when they slash at each other! I remember seeing this with a friend when it first came out. There were some parts we laughed at, some we thought were cool. If you love slashers fighting, you'll love FREDDY VS. JASON!!!

Not many favorites in this pack...
Getting straight to it, this is a weak bundle. Nightmare on Elm Street 5: Dream Child and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare are the weakest of the series along with part 2 which was Freddy's Revenge. Freddy vs. Jason is a mixed bag. It's interesting seeing these two horror icons duke it out, but that may or may not be your cup of tea. The strongest is New Nightmare which brought Heather Lagenkamp as Nancy back into the franchise and offered a new twist rather than more of the same. I would say buy that one on its own and pass on this quad set. It's nice that they put these packs together for people on a budget and sometimes all or at least 3 of the films are pretty good. But not in this case.
