Nightmare On Elm Street Anthology, Volume 1

Out of all the iconic horror stars Freddy Kruger is my favourite, while the series became less scary and more focus shifted towards how Fred would kill his victims I’ve always enjoyed the sequels. This has been an edit that I’ve long to view and overall the edit didn't disappoint

The footage isn't fantastic but then I wasn't expecting this before viewing the edit, what pleased me the most was how the footage never disrupted the flow of the film, and in some cases added an extra element to the film that was missing from the theatrical cut. This is maybe an edit for die hard fans of the series as some my find the drop in quality distracts from the film

It's as visually good as it could be for the time, and some of it really holds up even today. It's fascinating to me to see the lines and shots that get left on the cutting room floor and the different texture that they give certain characters and moments.

This was pretty enjoyable. I had never taken the time to watch any of the deleted scenes and to be honest, this film is better off without them. As a 25th Anniversary Version though, this was fantastic.
