Nightmare On Elm Street, A (Theatrical & Uncut) (4K Ultra HD + Digital/ Steelbook) [4K UHD]

Much like a dream...or a nightmare...A Nightmare on Elm St. is many things at once. It's one of the quintessential 80s horror flicks...defining a decade where horror was quite prolific...it gave birth to the legendary icon that is Freddy Kruger (Robert Englund)...who now sits proudly among Frankenstein's monster and Count Dracula in the halls of horror... and it certainly is one of Wes Craven's best films, in a solid career of genre filmmaking. Most of all, it's a damn good horror flick! Wes Craven gives us a cast of likable teens haunted by the malevolent specter of a child molester that their parents murdered after he was freed on a technicality. Now vengeance comes when they are at their most vulnerable...while they sleep. And that's what makes this work so well. We all know how vulnerable we are when we are sleeping and Craven uses that fear to not only draw the audience in, but present us with some unsettling and spooky dream sequences where Freddy torments and then finishes off his victims. Craven also crafts a spooky boogie man who is a very frightening figure in his first outing, before becoming an anti-hero of sorts in the later sequels that got more humorous and outlandish as they went on. The lead cast is fairly solid including spunky Heather Langenkamp as our heroine Nancy, Amanda Wyss as the ill-fated Tina, Nick Corri as Tina's delinquent boyfriend Rod, the always good John Saxon (and I am a BIG John Saxon fan!) as Nancy's sheriff father and a young unknown named Johnny Depp as Nancy's boyfriend Glen...not to forget Robert Englund chilling our bones as Freddy in a role that would make him a horror film legend. The film isn't perfect, there is some very weak dialog peppered throughout and a few weak performances in the supporting cast especially Ronee Blakely who seems to be acting in another movie, or a soap opera, as Nancy's alcoholic mother. Langenkamp has a few weak moments early on, too, but as Nancy gets stronger so does her performance. Flaws aside, the make-up and gore effects supporting our story are quite good and the dream sequences are visually effective and quite spooky, despite the limitations of a low budget. The film is loaded with chills and suspense and is still effective all these years and sequels later. Another trend setting horror and a true classic that continues to find fans with each new generation. This series was a favorite of mine as the 80s horror franchises went, as the Halloween and Friday the 13th sequels just became redundant weapon of the month club features while the Elm Street films, even in their weakest installments, were continually inventive with their nightmare sequences. Also stars the Insidious series' Lin Shaye as one of Nancy's teachers. A classic! -MonsterZero NJ

Famous horror director Wes Craven (Scream I,II,III) has created a horror movie masterpiece by drawing on one of everyone's biggest fears: the nightmare. Many years ago, a child murderer named Fred Krueger (Robert Englund) killed more than twenty children. He somehow managed to escape prosecution, but the townspeople carried out their own brand of vigilante justice by trapping Fred inside a building and burning it to the ground. Freddy was dead; or was he? Freddy has now come back to haunt a new generation of teenagers, this time in their dreams. The movie starts out with a dream sequence of Tina's (Amanda Wyss). She's being chased by a horribly-scarred man wearing knives for fingers. Fortunately for Tina, she wakes up before anything happens to her. When she arrives at school the next day, she finds out that her friends Nancy (Heather Langenkamp), Glenn (Johnny Depp), and Rod (Jsu Garcia) have each had the very same dream about the same person. Tina asks her friends to spend the night so she won't have the same dream again, but after a wild lovemaking session with Rod, Tina begins to dream. This time its different. Tina is thrashed around her room like a rag doll and large razor-like cuts appear on her chest. Rod, confused and upset, doesn't know what to do. Tina dies a violent death, but no one understands what happened. Rod is arrested for her murder. Nancy suspects that its Freddy and she sets out to prove it. Meanwhile, Glenn ends up suffering the same fate as Tina did, and now Nancy and Glenn must fight to stay awake in order to survive. Nancy devises a plan to draw Freddy out of her dream with Glenn's help, but unfortunately Glenn falls asleep. Nancy is now the only one left. Will she succeed in catching Freddy, or will she suffer the same fate as her friends? This movie has become a classic of the horror film genre, spawning several successful sequels while introducing us to one of the greatest horror movie villans of all-time: Freddy Krueger. Freddy rates right up with Jason Voorhies of Friday the 13th as perhaps the most menacing killer ever developed. The acting in the movie is very good. Ronee Blakley does an especially good job as Nancy's mother Marge Thompson. Struggling with alcohol addiction and the guilt of keeping her involvement in Freddy's death from her daughter, her performance is one of the highlights of the film. Johnny Depp also does a good job in his very first acting role. Of course, who could top Robert Englund as Freddy? The special effects are exciting to watch. Seeing Tina thrown about the room was very gruesome, and Freddy's make-up is genuinely scary. I give this movie my highest recommendation. This series has become a classic in the horror movie genre, and its just as scary now as when it was when this movie was released in 1984. Watch this movie and see the introduction of one of the greatest horror movie characters of all-time.

Classic Wes Craven film this will never but you can try and it fail miserably to be duplicated but can’t because the brilliance behind the team that organized everything ect just can’t be duplicated

Mir persönlich hat dieses Remake besser gefallen als das Original, und das aus ganz bestimmten Gründen. Die Story wirkte insgesamt glaubwürdiger und vor allen Dingen auch ernster, und der "neue" Freddy machte auf mich einen bedrohlicheren Eindruck. An das neue Gesicht hatte ich mich relativ schnell gewöhnt, wichtig ist halt den Vorgänger auszublenden. Es gibt einige Schockmomente, und über mangelnde Spannung konnte ich auch nicht klagen, wobei insbesonders der Schluss nochmal richtig schockte. Im Vergleich zu den Vorgängern konnte ich zu den Protagonisten eine bessere Beziehung aufbauen, und das kommt der Atmosphäre sehr zugute. Die Bilqualität der BD ist für eine aktuelle Produktion eher eine leichte Enttäuschung, hier hätte ich mir etwas mehr Schärfe und Detailgenauigkeit gewünscht, so bleibt es leider nur recht durchschnittlich. Beim Ton gibt es dagegen nichts zu klagen, hervorragende Sprachverständlichkeit und eine tolle Surroundatmosphäre haben mich absolut überzeugt. Das Steelbook kommt ohne Flatschen daher, und macht einen sehr ahnsehnlichen Eindruck. Das FSK-Logo befindet sich lediglich auf dem Pappschuber.

現在では言わずと知れたホラー映画の傑作。 その記念すべき第一作。 ネタバレは避けるが……。 緊迫感溢れるストーリー。 雰囲気ある演出。 特殊メイクによる人体破壊描写。 どこを取っても一級品！ ＤＶＤは画質音質共に良し。 未見の方には、是非視聴をお勧めする。 観て損はない！

Movie good, video and audio HD quality thanks seller and Amazon.
