A tradeoff: you save space but lose packaging November 9, 2008
Alex Faber (Northern NJ United States)
This is more of a review for the packaging than the movies, 'cause if you're here, you should know the drill on the movies. This set includes the classic first one and the so-bad-it's-good follow-up, as well as "Dream Warriors," which reinvigorated the series, and its lesser companion, "Dream Master." As Sean L. already stated, the first movie is the standard 1-disc edition, not the Infinifilm edition (A Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm Edition)).
Combining these four movies as part of Warner Bros's "4 Film Favorites" series is a novel idea (and the second half of the series is available as a second "4 Film Favorites" set here: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5-8: 4 Film Favorites). All four movies feature the exact same transfer, menus, and features as the individual releases, but in a 2-disc standard-size plastic DVD case, meaning that this set takes up 75% less room than the individual releases.
However, what you save in space, you lose in packaging. As with all of Warner's "4 Film Favorites," there is no internal artwork, such as a chapter insert, and even the two discs themselves feature no artwork, as they're flipper discs, with 1 movie on each side of each disc. Because of this, the discs themselves look plain and are more prone to fingerprints and scratching.
So, do you care about space or about having the complete artwork for each movie? Personally, I'm a big fan of this "4 Film Favorites" series: I get to have all 7 Nightmare movies (and "Freddy Vs. Jason") in 2 regular-size DVD cases, and the movies themselves have the exact same quality and content as the individual single-disc releases. However, if you can't stand flipper discs, or if you're a collector and care about each movie (and want the 2-disc editions of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and Freddy vs. Jason (New Line Platinum Series)), then bypass this one.
A great value October 22, 2008
Sean L. (Twin Peaks, USA)
PROS:
For the price, you get a whole lot of Freddy.
Doesn't take up a lot of shelf space.
CONS:
The original film is the bare-bones release, not the Infinifilm edition.
The second movie is still pretty terrible.

I think the whole nightmare on elm street series is really good including Freddy verses Jason.Even though i dont really like Jason films in my opinion i dont really think that jason is any better then freddy krueger in his acting and his film i could never get into his own acting i think he is kind of dull at acting
Super bundle for the price! September 30, 2008

Even though I own most of the Nightmare on Elm Street films, I stumbled across this 4-film favorite set and decided to rate it. The strongest two of the bunch are obviously 1 & 3 - A Nightmare on Elm Street and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors which brought back heroine Heather Lagenkamp and featured Patricia Arquette and a good supporting cast. I've always enjoyed A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master (directed by Renny Harlin, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Deep Blue Sea) on a more entertaining level. The weakest film here is A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge which did not do the original film justice and was despised by the majority of the fans. Still, for the price this is a great set. I've noticed another set like this which features A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: Dream Child, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, Wes Craven's New Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason. I would skip over that set and just buy Wes Craven's New Nightmare seperately. Freddy vs. Jason I am indifferent about. Dream Child and Freddy's Dead (like Freddy's Revenge) were poor installments. However, this set is definitely worth owning for 1, 3 and 4.
