A Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-ray Review
One, two, Freddy'southward coming....yep, never mind, you know the rest.
Reviewed by Martin Liebman, April three, 2010
What is seen is not always what is real.
When information technology comes to modern Horror, at that place are three names that immediately bound to mind: Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and Freddy Krueger. They are the younger generations' Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy, and there'southward no shortage of debate in the globe of Horror motion picture fandom as to which of these iii icons of terror is greatest of them all. No doubt the Horror genre has given these killers some heated competition over the years -- Jigsaw Leatherface, and Pinhead being prime examples -- but there's no contesting the mythos surrounding the "big three" that have go the de facto faces of the genre. Their popularity soared in the 1980s, waned a bit in the 1990s, and they are currently enjoying resurgences thank you to an influx of remakes in their names in the past several years, and their exploits new and old have put a definitive stamp on Horror both now and forevermore. Theirs is a legend that's practically unrivaled and responsible for making the 1980s one of the most crucial and memorable for Horror moviemaking in film history.
On a quiet neighborhood street in Anywhere, The states, the deformed killer Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund, Zombie Strippers) has returned from the grave with a new weapon in his arsenal against Elm Street's youth: the ability to attack them in their dreams. Immature high schooler Tina (Amanda Wyss) is the first to feel the haunting effigy in her sleep, and she before long learns that her friend Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) has also recently dreamed of the same demented figure. It doesn't take Freddy long to kill Tina in her sleep, for his powers allow him to inflict physical, real-globe damage through his victims' dreams. Nancy'due south boyfriend Rod (Nick Corri) is blamed for the death, and it's not long before he'southward apprehended by the local sheriff, Don (John Saxon), who is as well Nancy's father. Nancy soon realizes that Rod isn't behind the slayings equally she pieces together the clues that lead her to believe that the maniac from hers and Tina's dreams is the truthful assailant behind the slaying. Equally Krueger haunts Nancy, she desperately tries to remain awake with the help of her young man Glen (Johnny Depp) as she struggles to learn of a way to defeat the mysterious and mortiferous killer, a killer with a deeply-hidden by known to some around Nancy and who believe the existent-life Krueger to be long since expressionless, buried, and rendered harmless.
Of the "big 3" modern Horror icons and their respective series of films, Freddy Krueger and his A Nightmare on Elm Street proves the most unique. Although the picture show contains the bones elements of teenagers in peril, graphic violence, and plenty of chase-and-run sequences, it's the interesting twist of pitting reality against the complexities of the listen that prepare information technology apart from both Fri the 13th and Halloween. Additionally, Horror fans are here treated to a killer that'southward not the silent, hulking blazon; Freddy Krueger is a exact participant in the pic and his antics add another dimension to the story. While there's plenty that's terrifying virtually a wordless behemothic stalking victims with a big bladed weapon, the personalization and interaction that Freddy injects into the motion-picture show creates a different -- just no less frightening-- temper. Indeed, A Nightmare on Elm Street smartly innovates while as well treading on familiar ground, allowing Horror aficionados to enjoy something new while also settling into a condolement zone where promiscuous teenagers are brutally slaughtered, where blood flows freely, and where a lone female protagonist manages to vanquish the odds and face off with the killer ane-on-ane at film's end.
A Nightmare on Elm Street is also one of the the more brutally graphic pictures of its fourth dimension. While it'due south certainly no Saw VI in terms of hardcore and disturbingly realistic gore, at that place'southward plenty of splattered and gushing blood from wounds that are often made of visibly phony prosthetics but nonetheless bear witness effective in context. The film delivers several scenes that go completely awash in the red stuff, and there's a host of additional gruesomeness in the form of diverse insects and snakes that add to the grotesque and fantastical world the flick so painstakingly creates. Indeed, Writer/Director Wes Craven (the Scream franchise) in his motion picture shapes a vivid universe where reality and dream-induced terror get one and the same, where the line betwixt the waking and sleeping worlds is eliminated and where there's seemingly nowhere to run from something every bit uncomplicated as nature taking its course. It'southward a stroke of storytelling genius to identify danger in something that comes so naturally as slumber; it'southward something to which the body must succumb, is required for proper and aware part, and despite one's best efforts to defeat it, sleep is a relentless stalker that will ultimately defeat even the staunchest and nigh clever of those that try to beat out it. In the case of A Nightmare on Elm Street, it'south one'southward potentially fatal submission to the phone call of nature and the ticking of the clock that'southward the driving force behind the virtually original element the film has to offer.
Though information technology gets plenty right, A Nightmare on Elm Street is all the same a product of its era; as mentioned before, the buckets of blood splattered all over the screen don't exactly equate to the realistic violence to which 21st century Horror aficionados take become accustomed, just 1 must sentry a movie similar this with as much an eye towards its historical relevance every bit ane of the grandfathers of the modernistic Horror film while as well enjoying it for its direct-up value as a fun Slasher movie. The picture's special furnishings are effective but fairly primitive past today's standards, and its synthesizer-heavy score as well puts an unmistakable 1980s timestamp on it. Fortunately, neither prove to be a deal-breaker to the film; in fact, they only add together to the picture'due south amuse and retro 1980s feel, though no uncertainty both the effects and the music worked far better in 1984 than they do in 2010. A Nightmare on Elm Street is also hampered by some wishy-washy acting; Robert Englund proves the picture's best nugget even though he's non nonetheless brought the character to the level of a living drawing that he'd prefer in later franchise outings. He'south more menacing here than elsewhere, just however demonstrates that evil charm that's fabricated him a genre icon. John Saxon was, then, the moving picture'southward biggest name star, and he delivers the about steady endeavor of the bunch, while Heather Langenkamp does well enough as the motion picture'southward obligatory last-daughter-standing. Also featured is Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp in his first screen appearance.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-ray, Video Quality
A Nightmare on Elm Street delivers a dreamy 1080p, 1.78:i-framed transfer. The 1080p resolution allows for some of the lesser special effects to stand out every bit peculiarly phony in look, merely the tradeoff is a substantially improved paradigm over standard definition releases. New Line has restrained from wiping the flick clean of grain; as a upshot, the image retains many fine details and textures throughout, even if some darker scenes announced particularly busy and grainy, only the end result is a loftier quality film-like transfer through and through. The aforementioned detailing is solid whether in the picture's many darker scenes or the several bright exterior or well-lit interiors, for case Nancy'southward school or a hospital room. There's a expert sense of depth across the board, and while Freddy Krueger'southward make-up is a scrap obscured in the darker scenes, this transfer does reveal the fine definition found on diverse grapheme faces, whether pores, chaplet of sweat, or freckles and moles. The paradigm is constantly sharp, and the colour palette -- as varied as it is -- impresses throughout. Whether the darker and grimier interiors or the various and vibrant shades found in some of the less intensely-scary scenes, the transfer never wants for a ameliorate colour presentation. Skin tones remain nicely rendered throughout, and shadow detail -- crucial to so many of the film's more important scenes -- remains nicely presented and stable throughout with no all-encompassing burdensome or washed out blacks. Despite a few fleeting speckles, the print is very make clean and lends another chemical element to what is a handsome 1080p transfer from New Line that'southward sure to satisfy fifty-fifty fans that have seen A Nightmare on Elm Street dozens of times on bottom home video formats over the years.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-ray, Audio Quality
A Nightmare on Elm Street slashes onto Blu-ray with an impressive DTS-Hard disk MA seven.1 lossless soundtrack. This disc provides a hearty and ambitious sonic presentation that delivers plenty of back-channel data; the opening chase scene in particular is brimful in music and sound furnishings that cascade from every speaker and create a hopeless but exciting atmosphere that sets a potent tone for the rest of the moving-picture show and, indeed, its lossless soundtrack. Environs data both discrete and atmospheric impress; from blowing steam and screams to more subtle effects such as heavy breathing or buzzing insects heard during a nighttime scene, the runway delivers a total, mostly clear, and solidly immersive heed during both activeness/horror scenes as well as those more than dialogue-intensive segments. There's fifty-fifty a chilling realism to a shot featuring Freddy scraping his sharp blades against a surface that plays similar the old fingernails-on-chalkboard audio, and it's every scrap every bit shiver-worthy and spine-tingling here as that sound is in existent life. The synth-heavy score, too, plays aggressively and with a good bit of clarity, the music seeming to spread evenly all over the soundstage to help truly engulf the listener in the entire A Nightmare on Elm Street experience as played via this lossless soundtrack. Though a few lines of dialogue can play as slightly muffled, in that location are no lines that are unintelligible of unclear. Overall, this is a fine presentation of an aging simply all the same immersive and chilling soundtrack.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
New Line's Blu-ray release of A Nightmare on Elm Street scares up a large collection of informative and worthwhile bonus materials, the packet headlined by a pair of sound commentary tracks. The first, labeled equally a "filmmakers' commentary," features Writer/Director Wes Craven, Actors Heather Langenkamp and John Saxon, and Cinematographer Jacques Haitkin. For a track with four participants, it flows nicely and never comes across equally goofy, unfocused, or jumbled as oftentimes is the case with tracks containing more 1 or two participants. There's enough of discussions virtually the film's origins and story as well as several conversations revolving around the shoot and look of the motion picture. The actors share more anecdotal stories from the shoot while the crew members cover more substantial elements. All in all, this is a quality, well-balanced track that'southward neither too technical nor likewise meandering.
The 2d rail, dubbed the "Cast & Coiffure Commentary," features a plethora of participants, including Writer/Director Wes Craven; New Line Cinema founder Robert Shaye; Actors Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, Amanda Wyss, and Ronee Blakley; Producers Sara Risher and John Burrows; Cinematographer Jacques Haitkin; Composer Charles Bernstein; Editors Rick Shaine and Patrick McMahon; Mechanical Special Effects Designer Jim Doyle; Special Makeup Effects Artist David B. Miller; and Film Historian David Del Valle. Whew. No surprise, this isn't one huge cast and crew reunion commentary; its participants are recorded individually and edited together for content and flow, and are introduced audibly by proper noun and title every bit they speak. Though non a traditional commentary that allows for dorsum-and-forth barrack, fans will be thrilled at the wealth of information to exist heard here from a fantastic cross-section of participants. This is a must-listen for A Nightmare on Elm Street fans.
Behind the Story is a drove of four larger supplements grouped nether 1 heading. Focus Points is a feature that allows viewers to, when prompted, click an icon to be taken to diverse backside-the-scenes segments, some of which are simply culled from other supplements found around the disc. Never Slumber Again (1080i, 49:54) proves an exceptional making-of documentary that encompass a broad swath of Nightmare information, looking at the background of Writer/Director Wes Craven and his previous work in the film industry before A Nightmare on Elm Street, the creation and design of Freddy Krueger, the process of selling the story to New Line's Robert Shaye, casting the parts, the challenges of the shoot, the process of creating and applying the Freddy Krueger makeup, prop design, special furnishings cosmos, Englund's functioning, the prodigious amount of blood in the film, the extensive stunt piece of work, the various endings, the editing and scoring processes, and the film's release and legacy. Adjacent is The House That Freddy Built (1080i, 22:47), a solid piece that looks at A Nightmare on Elm Street'southward touch on both the Horror genre and New Line Picture palace, along with a solid overview of the various films in the Nightmare franchise, the legacy of the series, and New Line's Horror films that followed. As well available is Fact Runway, a pop-upward trivia track that offers various information about the moving picture, the cast, the coiffure, and more than. Rounding out the extras from the Backside the Story tab is Dark Terrors (1080i, 15:58), a piece that features a host of professionals discussing the world of dreams. Also included are three alternate endings, each presented in 1080p loftier definition: Scary Ending (1:39), Happy Catastrophe (one:31), and Freddy Ending (one:46).
A Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
The idea behind A Nightmare on Elm Street actually proves more frightening than does the actual film itself, but there's still plenty of juicy violence and gore here to satisfy genre fans, and more importantly, the picture proves a must-encounter as a slice of Hollywood history and the starting bespeak for what would get one of Tinseltown'south longest-running, popular, and encarmine Horror franchises. Much like Fri the 13th, information technology'due south what the picture show represents more than than what it really does that has made it such a long-lasting tribute to the Horror genre, merely Wes Craven's ability to craft a Slasher Horror picture with a novel idea that both recreates the typical run-chase-hibernate and hack-and-slash mode of Horror with a unique twist that adds a new dimension of terror to the story sets it apart from the pack and solidifies the movie as 1 of the best of its kind. Longtime fans of the franchise should exist thrilled with this Blu-ray release. New Line has delivered a picture quality that's nothing short of excellent while also featuring a loud and ambitious lossless soundtrack and a wonderful assortment of extras. Here'south hoping the remaining Nightmare films soon find their style to Blu-ray, but until then, there's no reason not to make A Nightmare on Elm Street a proud new member of the Blu-ray collection. Highly Recommended.
