WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
The all-time favorite A Nightmare On Elm Street involves a group of high school friends who are having nightmarish dreams about a brutal killer named Freddy Krueger (Englund throughout the entire series). Sporting knives for fingers, Freddy endlessly stalks the teens in their shared nightmares. (Tricia Spears)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 picture exhibits a very similar quality when compared to the previous DVD release. Colors are vibrant with accurate flesh tones, but blacks are not as deep as they should be, and shadow delineation is wanting. Some noise seems to be cleaned up in this version when compared to the previous release, but some detail in far shots are smudged. (Danny Richelieu)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby

Reason #29 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I originally subscribed to your magazine because I am a home theatre junkie, and it gave me one more way to feed my addiction. However, I find the one thing that I really enjoy is full access to your subscriber Web Site. I'm on it every day looking up a DVD review or reading an up-to-the minute article on what's going on in the world of home theatre. It's first on my favorites list.
