One of my all time favorites.
How sad is this?
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This 46 and a half minute documentary is featured on The Nightmare Series Encyclopedia DVD, which is on the seventh disc of the Nightmare on Elm Street box set. It features interviews with all the main cast and crew. Everything about the first film is covered from the origins of the story to casting to shopping it around to talk of the alternative endings and everything it between. The sequels only get a brief mention of the sequels, thats the only thing lacking in the documentary. But hey you can't have everything, I guess. Plus the less said about "Freddy's Revenge" is always good.My Grade: B
