![The Nightmare On Elm Street (Seven Disc Collector's Edition) [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51P-4zHlf2L.jpg)
A box set containing all seven of Wes Craven's 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' films. In the opener, American teenager Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suffer from nightmares, only to discover that many of her friends are having similarly disturbed nights' sleep. Their dreams are haunted by the hideously scarred former child murderer Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) who, it soon transpires, has the power to kill them in their sleep. Freddy is out to exact his revenge on the children of those who burned him alive in retribution for his crimes, and the only way to avoid his reprisals is to avoid sleep - but Nancy knows that she can't stay awake for ever. The sequel 'Freddy's Revenge' is set five years after the original. The Walsh family have now moved into the house formerly owned by the Thompsons, and it is not long before teenage son Jesse (Mark Patton) is having bad dreams. He and girlfriend Lisa attempt to work out what is happening to him, but before long Jesse becomes convinced that Freddy has taken over his body in order to continue his murderous rampage. The second sequel, 'Dream Warriors', features the return of Nancy from the first film, now a psychiatric doctor. She teams up with Dr Neil Goldman (Craig Wasson) when a group of teenagers at his hospital begin to suffer a shared nightmare, and soon realises that Freddy has returned to continue wreaking his revenge on the descendants of those who killed him. By the fourth film, 'The Dream Master', Freddy has killed off all the children of those who originally burnt him to death. Now he's starting to kill their teenage friends. Luckily, Alice Johnson (Lisa Wilcox), one of the endangered kids, has the special ability to bring others into her dreams. She is the Dream Master, and therefore the only one who can stop the razor-fingered prankster from wreaking more of his murderous havoc. In 'The Dream Child', Alice is expecting a baby. Unfortunately for her, the meddlesome Freddy finds out about this and begins to control the foetus's dreams, hoping that the birth will be his means of returning to the land of the living. So the Dream Master sets to work, taking the battle to Krueger one final time. In 'Freddy's Dead - The Final Nightmare', having wiped out all the children in his home town, dreamstalking psychokiller Freddy decides it is time to head for pastures new. Luckily for him, he happens across a home for troubled teens and is soon indulging his unspeakable appetites once again. This was originally intended to be the final instalment in the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' series, but director Wes Craven was unable to resist bringing Freddy back one more time in his 1994 'Wes Craven's New Nightmare', a coda to the series in which Craven and his producer play themselves, persuading the now grown-up Heather Langenkamp (of the first film) to return to Elm Street one more time. She and Robert Englund are lured back to play their characters again, but this time they cannot walk away from them when they leave the film set at the end of the day...

Bargain.
Not great as far as extras go, especially in comparison to the American boxset, but it contains all 7 movies at a decent price. You'll no doubt have your own favourites here, i'd have to highlight the original, Part 3: Dream Warriors & Wes Craven's New Nightmare as my personal top 3. Though even the really horrendous ones are strangely watchable. And every single one of them is a darn sight better than that rancid 2010 remake!

Interesting series of horror/slasher films
For those of you don't know about these films, they feature a character called Freddy Kruger, who is a sort of supernatural bogeyman capable of invading dreams and, if he kills you in your dream, you're dead in real life. Certainly this is an original concept, and as the series develops we see more and more imaginative ways in which he finds to kill people, as well as some of his backstory.It has to be said, however, the latter films do get a little repetative,and the "horror" aspect fades a little as Freddy's dark humour appears,especially no 5 "The Dream Child": although this is probably the worst film, it's still OK. The 2nd film seems to stick out like an interloper from another series, but again, isn't bad. Other than that the general standard of entertainment is pretty good.It has to be said the features are a bit thin, for an important series like this, with 7 films, you'd expect a disk or two of extras.Recommended for its exploration of an interesting concept.

Frighteningly good fun
This is the ultimate 'bad' guy that everyone loves. From the terrifying original to the very jumpy 'new nightmare', these 'nightmare on elm street' films belong in every horror film fans collection.I used to be scared witless at the 1st one when i was younger and have now found, when watching it again as an adult, that I am still a bit tense when watching late at night.It's great having all 7 films in one, so I can watch them again and again.Freddy Krueger rules !!
