A Major Disappointment

The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

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
