Audience Member Uma aventura eletrizante pelo legado de um dos maiores vilões da história do cinema. Wes Craven criou uma história tão poderosa e criativa que, mesmo com o poder fora de suas mãos, ainda manteve a memória de Freddy Krueger viva por décadas. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review MARCO C yeah pretty much best documentary ever Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/21 Full Review Audience Member My god I did not think that this movie would be flipping 3 hours. I thought it was going to be maybe an hour and 30 something minutes talking about the legacy of all the nightmares not do a full fledge analysis of each movie. It's a little too much nightmare information for me. I'm not the biggest nightmare fan. I'm more of a Texas chainsaw guy or Friday but I still respect this franchise and love the first and new nightmare movies. This documentary peaked my interest into seeing Freddy vs Jason got me because I never saw the ads for it and this movie showed all the hype especially in Japan with the whole boxing thing between the two icons. I learned a lot about nightmare watching this and I can't wait to see what happens next in the nightmare on elm street franchise.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/29/20 Full Review andrew k A comprehensive and lengthy behind-the-scenes walk through one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review johnathon w Superb documentary on the "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise, covering every movie (except the remake, which is a good thing) and even the TV series. The filmmakers do a great job getting as many of the actors & crew who involved, who are as candid as possible. Wes Craven is especially great, explaining where he got the idea and his views on the other movies that didn't involve him (let's say he's not a fan of a few of them). You can tell the makers are fans of the series, but honest about it's faults as well (as shown in the commentary track), and nevertheless give a great 'warts & all' look at one of the great horror franchises of all time. The one caveat is that at nearly 4 hours, still is not a documentary for someone new to the series. However, if you are a fan, this is a must watch, as it tells you everything you wanted to know (and not know) about this classic franchise.
