    The 4K release fixed a lot of audio issues that were on the DVD and blu ray. Also, keep in mind that VHS and DVD were color timed for CRT TVs and often had a magenta push. I watched the 4K last night, and I thought it looked pretty good. I’m not going to claim that this is one of the best looking 4Ks in my collection, but it’s a worthy upgrade.

    I've just passed the melting stairs scene, I saw that as it being a true natural look, as the upstairs landing walls are blue, and some of the stripes of the wallpaper going upstairs are blue too. So moon lighting coming through windows would make that scene a little blue. I didn't see too much of it, and some of the outside scenes just before it also had the right blue lighting too. So it's the true norm, so far it's great. Hope this info helps you enjoy this movie more, from now on. As I think it's looking great for a HDR 4k movie. 👌

    I was initially disappointed when I received the movie upon inspecting the packaging to see that DolbyVision wasn’t included, but as soon as I saw and heard the quality of this 4k scan, my jaw dropped in amazement. The quality and clarity of the Atmos soundtrack means it sounds far better than the blu ray version that I own. I feel enveloped in the sound, and its so immersive without ever being to loud or abrasive in places; very well done. Also the quality of the visuals are so sharp, vibrant, and clear with some grain, with the motion clarity on my tcl qm8 turned on and balanced priority, it looks so fluid and lifelike. Plus the added uncut gore finally! The aspect ratio that almost fills my entire television screen is also adds to the immersion. The packaging I still feel could have been done better, plus a new special feature or two but I am beyond happy with purchasing this release!!!

    After hearing so much overwhelming positivity about this release as I waited for my copy to arrive, I appreciate your honesty. For me personally, the 4K is a worthy step up from the previous Blu-Ray, but much more noticeable in the daytime scenes.
    I reckon that the likes of Second Sight and Arrow would have taken it up a notch and made all those night-time scenes (which of course, is most of the movie) look much richer, with some nice inky blacks etc.
    As for the packaging - which let's be honest, is really important given the fact that most of us buying this are super-nerds who already own the film 10X over - this was a real mixed bag. Yeah, we got a nice steelbook with classic artwork in the UK, but the rest was all over the place.
    The case... nice to see a vintage VHS effect, but how much better would it have been with that incredible UK poster from Graham Humphreys instead? The booklet... wtf is that? Zavvi showed an image of a hardback book, but gave us a booklet with a cheap, tacky cover (from NOES4 maybe?) and nothing but images we've seen before from the first film in a random order.
    I'm willing to bet whoever did this was not a fan of the series and hadn't seen the film. The art cards are a bit basic and half-arsed - why not just some cool original lobby card replicas? Finally, the numbered certificate - 27,400 copies?! Am sure it was a few thousand when the pre-order went live.
    Anyhow - first world problems - am glad we got a decent enough 4K, but I feel fans deserve some new special features. Now is the time to record some audio commentaries while most of the key cast are still around. The archival features are not bad but very dated. NOES2 gets slated quite a bit in the interviews, and I feel the US has since caught up with the UK in thinking it was overlooked.
    And how cool would it be to get all the Dream Warriors back with Robert for a commentary?!
    Here's hoping we get the sequels soon and then perhaps WB will give a boutique label the rights to deliver the boxset this series deserves - even if it means we all have to own Freddy's Dead in 4K haha

    BTW, Depp said a few years ago he would have loved to have been apart of the Never Sleep Again documentary, but no one contacted him about it. I feel like studios are too scared to approach him for new features than him not being willing to do them.

    I have it pre-ordered. The Nightmare series is one of my few horror guilty pleasures. I like 3 and 4 better though, maybe because they were the first two I saw back when 4 came out. I don't have any of them on blu-ray, I only have the dvd set, so the upgrade is worth it to me. Assuming they carried over all the special features from the dvd box set, I don't really see the need for new features. The original ones were done pretty well and I don't need new stuff just for the sake of being new.

Hence why he didn't have anything to do with the sequel Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Wes did return for the third film which he produced but he didn't direct. And the whole Freddy jumps out of the movie and into the real world was his original idea for the 3rd film but Newline🎞said no. Hence Wes revisting this idea for New Nightmare released in 1994!🎩🧤🧣🎥

    The light and dark were off in the past due to the limitations of the formats. They boosted the brightness, which was the norm for many horror films on VHS and DVD.
    Sadly, the only people who know the correct colours/brightness are the people who made it. Even then, if they sit in for the restoration, you have to hope they stick to that and not (as some do) start tweaking it to make it better (in their eyes).

    I've been unimpressed by Vinegar Syndrome. Not just the picture quality but also their selection of restorations. Arrow has done some great work, but like others, they can be hit and miss. Warner has done some very good work on their huge catalog of classics. I received my Nightmare steelbook from Gruv yesterday and watched it last night. It is a substantial upgrade over the blu-ray in both picture and sound. I don't know if you're one of them but some people see that a movie doesn't have Dolby Vision and they automatically downgrade the release before they even watch it.

      Not the case here. I’ve seen plenty of great 4Ks that lack Dolby Vision. And for sure this is an upgrade over the Blu-ray, just wasn’t as substantial as I hoped in my opinion.

    I watched this digitally. I got the Ultimate Collector's Edition diabolic and the second one from orbit DVD. I figure I haven't bought any of those movies since the DVD box set in 99. I thought it looked good. I mean, it could have been better, but it was a lot better than I was expecting it to be. I didn't think the end sequence was in the mother's bedroom as blue as the previous releases, but again, I only watched it digitally so far

    Ken, the major studios are far from the only ones who don’t bother to give us new special features when they remaster a film to 4K. KinoLorber used to do it all the time. Though, to be fair, they seem to be starting to catch on. And let’s not forget Shout! Factory/Scream Factory. ‘Death Becomes Her’ got one measly featurette when they remastered it for BluRay a few years back and when they recently remastered it for 4K, they added zilch!
    So, yes, call out the major studios for this, but also call out the cheap boutique labels that fail us as well!

    Color timing is such a difficult thing to review. It seems like you have to be a person that's seen a 35 mm print of a movie to accurately judge what the movie is "supposed" to look like. This is especially true when comparing a 4k to an old dvd or bluray, as a lot of them were rush jobs that did not have accurate colors, but it's what we're used to so we perceive any changes to be incorrect.

I can't tell you how much money I've lost yes lost throughout the years with buying movies I love then a new version comes out and you get FOMO wondering oh maybe I do want Atmos or Dolby Vision etc. Nightmare is an old badly recorded movie that can only be enhanced so much. People start crying right away to much this or that just like the Cameron films.

    Ken, great review video. I'm so glad you called out the color difference. That's been something I've been complaining about for years! They completely changed the colors when they released it in 4K to theaters several years ago. And I remember seeing it at the theater and being disappointed that the colors did not match what was on the original blu-ray release. It's the same thing they did with the Halloween 1978 movies. That movie has gone through dozens of color-timing changes. And now they are messing with the color-timing of ANOES.

    Black Adam piss yellow filter.
