4 Film Favorites: Nightmare on Elm Street 1-4(DVD)

the first four were always the best in the franchise to me and i could watch them all day everyday. brand new at a low price, i couldn't past it up. the first four really connected back to back giving in depth detail of the elm street legacy. the first touches on how freddy was a child murderer freed on a technicality and all the parents band together to torch him, setting him on fire burning him alive. then, he returns in nightmares killing their children. part two pays homage to nancy, the soul survivor of part one, leaving behind a diary in the house she stayed in on elm street which is soon discovered by freddy's next victim, jesse (whom he basically uses as a pawn to kill victims throughout the film) and jesse's love interest, lisa. it gives detailed information from part one of how scared nancy was and what happened during her struggle. 3 brings nancy back as an older psychiatrist who befriends a bunch of young teens dealing with freddy on a nightly basis the same way she did and she helps them put pieces together to counteract freddy's assault and onslaught of terror throughout the film. although 1 is the best in the franchise hands down, part 4 is my personal favorite-the dream master. kristen returns from part 4 as a gifted dream master who can pull people in her dreams much like she did in part 3. only this time, her gift is passed onto her best friend, alice, whom freddy uses as a prop to pull in her friends for terror torture. this is a must have for any nightmare/freddy fun and does not miss or disappoint in anyway.

These "Four Film Favorites" pack are a great value for fans of Freddy Krueger. This is a simple, cost-effective way of watching and owning the first four films in the Nightmare On Elm Street series. As for the films themselves, well, obviously Nightmare On Elm Street Part 1 is the greatest of any Nightmare film. Part 2, Freddy's Revenge, actually gets a lot of flack and is sometimes called the weakest in the series. I disagree. I think it is actually one of the better ones as it carries nearly the same tone as the first. The third film, Dream Warriors, sets a precedent as it starts the "dream" movies as I like to call them. It loses the boyfriend/girlfriend dynamic of the first 2 movies and brings in a group of disturbed children to try to cope with and defeat Freddy. The fourth and last film in this collection, Dream Master, continues after the events of number 3 and again, a group of new kids has to defeat the menace that is infecting their dreams with such nightmares. A second "Four Film Favorites" is also available which include Freddy 5-8 : Dream Child (1989), Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) and Freddy vs. Jason (2003). Buy if you are a Freddy fan!

I bought the 4 pack of A Nightmare On Elm Street 1-4 and was not disappointed. I was 13 when the first one came out and it was great; I couldn't sleep the night I watched it, truly horrifying. To this day it still remains one of the best slasher films of all time. To me the first one is always the best one of a series; but I also liked Freddy's Revenge and the second best of the 4 is Dream Warriors. I was a little disappointed in 4; but it was still average movie. I thought after 4 the Freddy series would end and should of. I didn't like any of the rest in the series, because I thought they were lame; and eventually would hurt the series. I would recommend A Nightmare on Elm Street 1-4 to any horror fan; especially for any 1 who loved the first Nightmare. It is worth the money, time and U will not be disappointed. Thanks, Kris L.

I love the A Nightmare on Elm Street series, especially Dream Warriors, so being able to have them in sets like this is great.

This budget DVD set brings back nostalgic memories of the 1980's. Horror movie master Wes Craven made A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984), a surreal, dream-like, blood and guts horror film. I remember seeing these movies on local TV during Halloween. Robert Englund is flawless as child murderer Freddy Krueger. He's very, very scary and very, very funny. A Nightmare on Elm Street was spoofed on The Simpsons with Groundskeeper Willie trying to kill Bart, Lisa, and Maggie in their dreams! On Halloween, kids at school dressed up in Freddy Krueger costumes with plastic blades attached to the fingers of a glove. James Rolfe, the Angry Video Game Nerd, spoofed the film as he showed us footage from the Nintendo game version of A Nightmare on Elm Street. A Nightmare on Elm Street was remade and rebooted in 2010. A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984): A bunch of vigilante parents burn child murderer Freddy Krueger alive when the authorities refuse to punish him. Years later, Freddy Krueger preys on teenagers in their dreams. If they die in their dreams, they die in the real world. In these films, it's hard to tell the difference between the real world and a dream world. A young Johnny Depp and cute, sensual Heather Langenkamp star in this first film. John Saxon(Enter the Dragon, Mitchell) plays a police officer. A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge(1985): This sequel was made without Wes Craven's input and it shows. Robert Englund is quite good as Freddy Krueger even though he only has 13 minutes of screen time. This is considered the worst Nightmare on Elm Street movie, but I think it's decent. Freddy Krueger uses the body of an angst-ridden teenage boy to kill people. People claim this film is packed with homoerotic imagery. Kim Meyers is quite good as the film's heroine. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors(1987): This is the best Elm Street sequel. Heather Langenkamp and John Saxon make guest appearances. We're introduced to new characters such as Kristen Parker(the lovely Patricia Arquette) and Kincaid(Ken Sagoes). There's some side-splitting gags. Freddy Krueger yells, "WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK?!" at Zsa Zsa Gabor. Freddy yells the famous one liner, "Welcome to Prime Time, @#$%^"." Chuck Russell directed the third Elm Street film and he went on to direct The Blob(1988) and The Mask(1994). A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master(1988): Renny Harlin(Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger) directs this one. Kristen Parker is back, but now she's played by Tuesday Knight! I laughed when Kincaid's dog urinated fire! Kincaid looks like a Super Mario Brother when he travels through a giant pipe! The Nightmare on Elm Street films and the Friday the 13th flicks were slasher/horror movies that dominated the 1980's. They still deserve their R-ratings from the MPAA. You can enjoy the first four movies in the series thanks to this budget DVD. Friday the 13th was rebooted in 2009 and A Nightmare on Elm Street was remade in 2010. This DVD is worth the money if you love horror movies.

Ok,this is the order I like these four films: 1,4,2,3. Despite Nancy's return and her dramatic death in my least favorite of them,it was lackluster and kinda boring. You do get more background about Freddy. To note: Freddy Krueger has always been silly,and goofed around,he was just more subtle about it in part one. Yes it was more dark like part 2 that's it. The continuity is confusing. What REALLY happened to Nancy's mom and Nancy herself after part 1?? I got a "Nancy went crazy" and a "Her mom died in her sleep". Did BOTH happen?? Apparently not since Nancy returns in part 3!!!! We seen Krueger kill the mother,then she's "revived" or didn't really die to be killed again!! I'm aware it wasn't a cliff hanger for a sequel but that's no excuse for the confusion. The Nancy went crazy story would've made more sense,seeing her mother die in her DREAM at thr end of part 1,then loses her mind as the blame is put on her. The father never saw Freddy Krueger since that was Nancy's dream. Nancy fell asleep after her bf's death planning not to yet since she wanted to warn her father her plan to capture Krueger which she THOUGHT she did but was dreaming!!!! THERE'S your plot. End of Nancy's story unless we see her in a psyche ward in part 3 or something.

This is a collection of the famous film series from 1-4. In part 1, we are introduced to Freddy Krueger, a human male that was murdered by the townspeople for being a psychotic killer. He makes a deal with demons to be able to enter humans' dreams and kill them in their sleep. Some of the kids of Elm St. barely survive part 1. Part 2 is when Freddy wants to enter this realm from the astral world. One boy must fight the possession of Freddy in a supernatural and psychological battle! Freddy is beaten once again, but certainly not killed. Part 3 is the coolest of all the Elm St. films. WE FIGHT BACK HARD. Some kids discover that they can control and shape their dreams like in the other film Dreamscape(not an Elm St. movie). They use their dream powers to fight Freddy in the dream/astral realm. One heck of a fight but Freddy has more experience and still racks up a body count! One kid is different though and beats Freddy. In part 4, Freddy discovers that he has a young male relative that would make a perfect replacement for him if he ever dies. Too bad for Freddy because the girl who beat him in part 3 is guarding the boy! This is the astral war of the ages between a gifted psychic girl and one of the most scary film monsters ever! Action, horror, and even some macabre comedy on Freddy's part(one liners galore) make this some of the best horror you will ever see.

Several movies for a great price.

Very good set, much less cuts than the region 2 dvd, almost or altogether uncut

You saw the Nightmare on Elm Street movies as a kid. You loved them so much you collected Freddy Krueger trading cards. You stopped caring by the time they released New Nightmare. Now you spend 15 bucks to sit through crappy romcoms with a semi-interesting date hoping to get a post-movie smooch. No. Your kid instincts were right: Nightmare on Elm Street is the best horror movie franchise out there, and the first four were incredible. Revisit them immediately.

Excelente película! Llegó en buen estado
