Verified Purchase:Yes

I pre-ordered this by mail. Received it in a timely fashion product arrived in great shape with no damage. But when I opened it no insert or booklet with the digital code. So I returned it to my local BESTBUY located in Aberdeen, NC. The staff was helpful and friendly. It was exchanged for a replacement. So I opened the new replacement on the spot in front of the staff...NO DIGITAL CODE. Yes, we have a problem here. The store had one more in stock. The manager open the third Blu-ray...ONCE AGAIN NO DIGITAL CODE! Disappointed to say the least. I am willing to bet there are more Nightmare On Elm Street (SteelBook) out there with no digital codes inside.

I don't blame BESTBUY for the lack of a digital code that falls on the distributor of this particular product. However, BestBuy does need to address this some how. Just not getting what you paid for here. Maybe all who purchase this Blu-ray receive the code via email or something.

I included a picture in my review so there would be no misunderstanding as to which Blu-ray I am talking about.

Not worth it and no digital copy

on September 17, 2020

Posted by: EmanuelMM88240

Verified Purchase:Yes

As for most exclusive Blu-ray’s, this steelbook edition is very bland and basic in comparison to most steelbooks that were released by Best Buy. It offers nothing new as far as bonus context. Lastly there is no digital copy as it prompts in the front of the case. Ive returned the copy for in exchange another copy and still no digital copy.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) Blu-Ray SteelBook

on May 1, 2021

Posted by: JMR66

Verified Purchase:Yes

Awesome SteelBook copy of the original, (1984) A Nightmare on Elm Street on Blu-Ray. My only "issue" is, wondering why they chose an image of Freddy taken from the movie Freddy vs Jason, to include as the ONLY image to add on the back of the SteelBook for the original NOES movie? Why not a still of him from this movie?! Anyway, that petty criticism aside, I highly recommend this, especially if you're a collector of SteelBooks! A-

One of the best horror movies of all time

on October 6, 2008

Posted by: CrimsonKing42

Wes Craven's arguably best (and best-known) slasher monster piece "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is one of the longest-lived pieces of slasher genre fiction in film history. It did not create the genre (Halloween did in 1978) and as far as I know the genre has never really been revolutionized, but Nightmare has an undeniable appeal, which comes largely from its creepy dream-killer narrative and one of the most memorable movie killers in history, Freddy Krueger, a disfigured maniac with a razor-claw glove that he uses to gruesomely violent ends.
This is the story of young Nancy, who, after the horrific death of a friend in her sleep, begins to find her nightmares plagued by a disfigured monster/man, whom she eventually learns is Freddy Krueger, who was a child serial killer during his lifetime. After Freddy was released from prison, a group of parents from the neighborhood got together a good-old-fashioned posse and burned the killer alive, but before his death he swore that he would avenge himself on their children. As it turns out, he kept his promise, and has returned to claim them in their dreams.
There is plenty of lasting appeal to the film. It's not art by most means, but it has a definite style to it, thanks to a very competent direction from horror legend Wes Craven, who does some of his best work ever here. The film is also helped greatly by an unforgettable turn from Robert Englund, who will always be best remembered for this character, and who is at the scariest he's ever been here. After this film, Freddy became a somewhat lighter character, often spouting out one-liners before slashing his victims to ribbons.
There are also a few very memorable, classic horror scenes here. My personal favorites are the scene where Nancy falls asleep in class and dreams of being stalked in an abandoned factory of sorts. Freddy gives his best line here ("Come to Freddy"), and the framing of the shots, which keeps Freddy's identity obscure and mostly shows just bits and pieces of him is very effective.
The other great scene is one in which one of the characters is layng one his bed and suddenly Freddy's hand comes out and pulls him into the bed, and all of his blood shoots out toward the ceiling. As far as horror movies go, that's downright art.
This is a classic, and has mostlly survived the test of time. The special effects quality is high by mid-80's standards, and it's not too laughable even today. If you like the genre, this is one to see.

What's great about it: A film that overflows wtih cultural relevance and remains entertaining to this day

What's not so great: The kind of occasionally slipshod writing and acting that can be expected from a horror film
