'Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy' is a fascinating documentary on the Elm Street movies. Don't let the four hour run time put you off, as it's an interesting watch. While the interviews themselves are a bit over the top, like the actors and directors think their made/starred in high art movies. Although you can tell a lot of love and care went into these, even the terrible ones.
Also, it's funny hearing Renny Harlin, director of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master', say every decision he made was "pure genius" while showing the most absurd shots clips from the film.

Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy is a documentary that covers the history of the Nightmare on Elm Street series. It’s a very thorough and in-depth telling of the franchise from Wes Craven’s initial concept to the final film. There are interviews with numerous actors, writers, and directors of the series who share some very interesting experiences that they had with the films and how they affect their lives. And it’s narrated by Heather Langenkamp; star of the original Nightmare on Elm Street. However, the filmmakers could be a little more discerning; as a lot of needless material that’s not really important is included. Yet even so, Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy is fascinating and insightful, and does an exemplary job at covering one of the landmark horror series in cinema.
