I am a huge ANOES fan and buying every movie of the franchise was a blast! Even watching it! But buying the episodes on DVD brought me nothing but disappointment. I was expecting a lot of horror in it but it feels like I am watching Tales from the Crypt and Goosebumps. (Which I love Goosebumps), just seeing the episodes reminded me on how cheesy they can be that you can't even follow it or you are left confused. This is basically Freddy's Nightmares for ya.
When I popped the first disk into my DVD player, I watched the first episode which I followed it well. The rest of the 4 episodes of season 1, I had to stop. I was 1, getting bored to the point of falling asleep. LITERALLY! 2, you don't see much of FREDDY! He is the main star! But no, he isn't. He is basically the Crypt Keeper; Being the host of the show by doing interludes. From time to time, he may show up as an episode's plot or intervene in dreams of it but he is just a host. I had to stop after episode 5 because I just couldn't sit there and suffer the dreams anymore! I don't know if I want to come back and watch it again because I am losing interest on it.
It is all but an anthology series. The plot revolves around Freddy haunting the rest of the Elm Street children for a good 2 seasons. That is it. Do I recommend it? Eh, not really to be honest but if you are a long time fan and are interested in the series, knock yourself out.
