A Nightmare on Elm Street (not the new one)

I just got the box set a few day’s ago of the nightmare on elm street series. This is what I think of the Series. Here’s my review.

Nightmare on Elm street

The first one is very good albeit old. It’s where it all begins when a group of teens end up being killed by there nightmares. Very good movie for it’s age it also features Johnny Depps first role in a film 4/5

Nightmare on Elm street 2

A lot of people hated this one because it didnt follow the storyline of the first. I actually enjoyed it a lot. The story is a new kid moves to elm street and Freddy begins taking over his body to do his dirty work for him. Overall I enjoyed it I’ll give it 3 out of 5

NOES3

The third one imo is the best in the series. It features a group of teen’s in a mental hospital who begin having nightmares and there deaths are written off by the staff as suicides. It also features Nancy from the first one returned as a psychologist. The special effects in this one were the best of the series. 4/5

NOES4&5

I’m putting these 2 together because to me they were the weakest of the series. They turned Freddy into more of a comedy than horror and it didn’t work well. They were semi entertaining so 2 out of 5 for both.

NOES Freddy’s Dead

This is the finale of the series and it features another group in a Juvenile facility being killed off and haunted by nightmares. In this one Freddy Krueger is finally killed off. They did an attempt for the end at 3D and it failed miserable. 2/5

Wes Cravens New nightmare

This one’s story involves the actress from 1 and 3 battling Freddy because he enter’s IRL. This one also features a cameo of Wes Craven. Despite the somewhat lame story it was very well made and I thought it was one of the better in the series. One thing I hated though was the fact that a small kid (the main characters son) is featured prominently in this film which I didn’t like. 4/5

Sorry for the short reviews but it was a lot of movie’s to cover in one review. Overall it’s a great series if you enjoy B level horror movies.
