Review: Great series, Blu-ray quality is variable, 4K of the first film is good - Unfortunately desertcart is lumping my review of the complete series Blu-ray set in with the standalone 4K release of the first film, so I'm editing what I wrote before. The new 4K release of the original ANOES is wonderful. First off, it's uncut, so it includes a few brief, but dramatic moments missing from previous disc releases. The picture quality is excellent for a 40 year old film. The colour grade is much closer to how I remember the film looking on my old VHS. The new sound mix has restored several missing elements from past releases and the original mono mix is included, which is something that all old films should do! I highly recommend the 4K release to all fans. It's a pity there's no updated Blu-ray release available. The extras are much the same a previous releases. Fortunately, the independent documentary, Never Sleep Again is available from 101 Films to provide an in-depth look at the first film and the series. The success of the 4K release of the original film has resulted in a 4K series collection being scheduled for later in 2025. Now back to an edited version of my old review of the Blu-ray set released more than a decade ago... I've loved this series since I was a teenager in the 1980s and 1990s. I saw Freddy's Dead the day it was released in UK cinemas. I owned the DVDs long ago, but in my late 40s I decided I'd like to run through these again on Blu-ray. desertcart had this seven-film set from 2009 going at a terrific price. The films are wonderful, with the first, third, fourth and fifth forming a cohesive story arc, seeing the acting debuts of Johnny Depp and Patricia Arquette, among others, and the directing debuts (or breakthroughs of) Jack Sholder, Chuck Russell (co-writing with Frank Darabont), Renny Harlin, Stephen Hopkins and Rachel Talalay. The films include tremendous, surreal effects work, with practical (pre-CGI) effects from some ingenious inventors, that beat anything computer generated from the present day. Rewatching the films after all these years, I was surprised to find that the fifth film resonated with me in a completely different way, as it has some very dramatic storytelling in the 'real world' and I think it's rather wonderful. The standout performances of the series, other than Robert Englund, for me, were Heather Langenkamp as original final girl Nancy Thompson, Patricia Arquette as the original Kristen Parker (a rather blandly-written character brought to life by a haunting performance) and Lisa Wilcox as Alice Johnson in the fourth and fifth films. Wilcox's performance in both films encompasses an exceptional amount of character development for a genre film and she plays the role to perfection. Alice is without doubt my favourite character in the series. The technical quality of the films on the Blu-rays is extremely variable. The (MPAA edit of the) first film had also recently been re-released in a two-disc set, which is included in the collection, and looks decent. The other films are bundled two-to-a-disc with some old SD extras. Some of the films look great, such as New Nightmare and the fifth film. The third film - often regarded as the best-loved - is disappointingly poor quality, looking like it was sourced from an old print. Disappointingly, these are all the R-rated US theatrical versions, so there are cuts compared with UK VHS releases and old UK TV screenings. It's a mixed bag: dated, relatively early Blu-ray releases that unquestionably doesn't represent the films at their best quality, but until the 2025 4K set is the best current release on the market. Freddy vs Jason and the 2009 Platinum Dunes remake are not included. If you want to see the films before the 4K set in 2025, this is the set to buy! Review: BLU-RAY COLLECTION - Any Nightmare on elm st fan that still has the DVD collection from 1999 that's packaged in snapcases, try and sell it cause you don't need it anymore. Cause this brand new Blu-ray collection has it all. 4 blu-ray Discs plus a bonus Disc which has a brand new Doco on the Nightmare on elm st legacy called Welcome to Prime time plus 3 episodes from Freddy's nightmares tv series plus an Freddy krueger MTV TV special which is an Easter egg that you have to find on the screen to watch the special Disc 1 is the first Nightmare, the original classic in Widescreen, picture and audio is very Good for Blu-ray the special features are the same interview featurettes on the Encyclopedia Disc from 1999 DVD collection as well as the Never sleep again 50mins Doco about the making of the film as well as Audio commentaries, Deleted scenes , outtakes etc. Disc 2 is Nightmare 2 and Nightmare 3 on the same Disc, you choose which one to watch on the menu both films are Widescreen only, very Good picture and audio quality better quality than the transfers from the 1999 dvd collection the special features for Nightmare 2 and 3 are the same interview featurette's from the 1999 DVD collection so there's nothing new there. Disc 3 is Nightmare 4 and 5 on the same Disc, both films are Widescreen only very Good picture and audio quality of course. the special features again are the same interview featurettes from the 1999 DVD collection Disc 4 is of course Nightmare 6 and New nightmare, both films are Widescreen format that look and sound very Good for Blu-ray so all film's in widescreen only and have different audio options to choose Nightmare 1 has both 7.1 and 5.1 surround sound, the rest of the films are 5.1 surround sound only Disc 5 the bonus Disc has all new Doco on the Nightmare Legacy called Welcome to Prime time very interesting Doco there's special features on the Bonus Disc aswell 3 episodes from the Freddy's nightmares TV series, there's an Easter egg of Freddy Krueger MTV 1988 TV special if you can find it the special features on this desertcart listing are correct so check the listing if your lost. absolutely fantastic blu-ray collection a must for any Nightmare on elm st fan Definitely worth the money, not sure on the region code i thought this collection was region B only but the desertcart listing says region free/All regions. So there's no point having the first dvd collection from 1999 cause all the special features/extras from the 1999 DVD collection are on this blu-ray collection plus the picture and audio for each film is excellent blu-ray quality aswell better than the 1999 screen transfers, Definitely time for an upgrade so you might aswell get rid of the 1999 DVD collection or sell it for whatever it's worth.
