"All the fans that keep complaining that we took Freddy out of the shadows..."
"then we are gonna put Freddy in the shadows". I'm not sure, but I'm almost convinced this is what the Warner brass was saying to they people assigned to remaster this in hd.What in the H-E double hockey stick are you talking about? Well, as a long time NOES fan, I can say that my memories of these films are that they were always the glossier, better produced horror films of the 80's, especially compared to Friday the 13th and the Halloween films. Glossier is the word for how I felt, most certainly from Dream Warriors on. When I first purchased the NOES 2/3 bluray I noticed while watching Dream Warriors that the picture seemed darker, almost under-exposed especially whenever Freddy was on screen. I remembered the old Media home videos (which I still have!) where Freddy seemed filmed in almost daylight like exposure. Then the bluray comes along and you can't see Freddy as well. I figured immediately that they re-lit them scenes to make them eerier and not have Freddy so over-exposed. So now when he's on screen, it's much how he looked and was lit in the original and it makes the entire scene spookier because of it. Other bd's of older horror films have taken a similar root. A few months back I watched The Evil Dead bd with a girl who had never seen it and it terrified her to the point that it took us literally 3 separate nights to finish it. I watched Evil Dead with at least 100 different people in my life, but always on video and dvd, and I would normally hear that it was gross and very cheesy and dated. No one I ever watched it with found it scary. Now this girl who has never seen Evil Dead finds it intensely horrifying. When I watched that bd of Evil Dead for the first time i felt they changed alot of the color and shadows and made it deeper, darker. I know that's what terrified her. The film didn't seem dated in the right light, mixed with how scary the film is supposed to be, for the first time in my life, I watched it get scare somebody to tears, 3 nights in a row. So now with these new bd's we have Freddy the way we always wanted him. In the dark, in the shadows... Now this sounds great doesn't it? Everybody's favorite dream stalker in a much more nightmarish atmosphere. Well the problem for most fans is gonna be that the original films DID have Freddy lit brightly. He was lit and you could see him as easy and as any leads in the daylight scenes. In order to bring Freddy out of the light, they under-exposed the films and they are now lit in the same vein as The Godfather films. Let's do remember that even if these were glossier than their horror contemporaries, they were still low to modest budgeted films. Under-exposing them makes them look exactly that most of the time. IMO it didn't exactly seem like that to me before now. By changing the lighting of scenes that is technically tampering with the original films and most importantly, changing the films we grew up with. Folks, this series is to me what Star Wars are to alot of you. But I just finished Dream Master, and even though it's darker than I remember, it looked incredible. Having Freddy in the shadows helps taking these films more seriously. The DTS-HD MA is amazing as well. This set literally is a dream come true for me, because when I bought a bd player, I knew I'd have this one day! I just didn't think I'd have to have it shipped from another continent to get it, but that's another story. I would like to take a moment and say also, to those of you who read that the transfer of the of the original is different in any way from the North American transfer, rest assure that's bogus. It's the same. I know because I've watched the US bd at least 50 times since I bought it last year when I made the upgrade to hi def. I watched the boxset bd today and everything is the same, so rest easy if you feel you would like to sell your copy when you get this. So, I'm sure it's clear by now that this is a must have for any Elm st. fan. IF you want to wait for a North American boxset, go ahead. But your gonna have to wait until they our finished selling the next two upcoming 2 packs of the sequels, and then maybe a year after that when the next sequel is being released a boxset might show up. I simply couldn't wait for that! SO remember, Freddy is finally in the shadows again, doesn't that at least sound interesting?

Nightmare On Elm Street Complete Collection DVD Box Set
I would say being an massive horror fan and I have all of Saw boxset , Slience of the Lambs , Hannibal Red Dragon Manhunter and Hannibal Rising DVDs , and Texas Chainsaw Massacre I would say I saw Nightmare on Elm Street the original for the first time this Year it is an classic from 1984, it is horrifying the beginning in the boiler room and the way he haunts the teenagers dreams, I decided to get the box set as Nightmare on Elm Street Three The Dream Warriors Was absolutely terrifying the teenagers again had the same nightmares and one of the originals Nancy Thompson She was an survivor of an group of teenage friends who had previously been killed and murdered in her sleep , she works as an intern at Westin Hills Mental Institution, with teenagers who’s parents had previously been underestimated by Freddy she herself remembers the song 1, 2, Freddy’s Coming for You, Three Four Better Lock Your Door , Five Six Grab Your Crucifixion, seven Eight Gonna Stay up Late Nine Ten never sleep again . She is told not to believe them but she does believe and sets up an Like an radio Frequency , but they must fall asleep and so they set up an an like Timer it makes them fall asleep They go back to their Nightmare and try and kill Freddy but Nancy dies She cannot defeat Freddy also an very frighting bit of Nightmare on Elm Steet Three : Dream Warriors is the teenager mental institution Patient Kristin Parker Who dreams of being an TV star actress is killed by Freddy in the tv and I also thought Nightmare on Elm Street Two Freddy’s Revenge was not so good or frightening at the time there was quiet an focus On the character Jessie and an rather Gay theme as it was more Freddy trying to get inside Jessie it was scary in parts when he wakes up sweating from an Nightmare in the bedroom where it is also an Nightmare of being stalked on the bus by an mysterious killer and the End where it happens again the same Nightmare has in the beginning goes actually has not killed Freddy he is on the bus again it was rather weak one of the worst in the franchise not enough killings and other characters being developed and their back stories Nightmare On elm Street Four The Dream Child is actually is again an new set of teenagers rather going into an dream of the house where Freddy lives It is very Frightening and again It adds an new control and power of Freedy to manipulate the Teenage Kirsten and haunt her dreams, it is very good along with Nightmare on Elm Street Five , I would say one is great two very weak not the scare factor three the best in The Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise, and Four highly spine chilling five ok quite good not strong in the gore or body counting parts or frightening bits or different use of characters development Six did not find it scary but was quite good acting in parts . An Great Boxset for Nightmare on Elm Street Fans and Horror fans in General .

Nightmare on Elm Street 1-7
Pas du français sur toute les films. Désolant
H**T
Rien de mieux que les vieux films.
Petit coffret blu-ray nickel. Toute la series des freddy. Impeccable. Par contre sur les 7 films il y en a deux qui ne sont ni doubler ni sous titré en français. Dommage pour ça.
