Wes Craven is back in the director's chair! A very interesting concept lead to a thrilling, suspenseful movie! Quite honestly, one of my favorites in the series.

If you don't like the direction the goofier sequels of the franchise took, that's one thing, but that doesn't make this a good movie. The Nightmare on Elm Street series became famous for its incredibly creative nightmare death scenes and great effects for their time. This throws all that out the window and gives us a Freddy that's all bark and no bite. New Nightmare isn't scary, it's not anywhere near as clever as it would like you to think it is, and if you look past all the meta- contextual stuff, all you really have here is another generic slasher movie that features very little actual slashing. Hope you like really annoying child actors too, because this has a huge helping of that. Hard to believe that this was the same kid that did such a great performance in Pet Sematery, because he's just painful to watch here with his constant screeching and whining.

Wes Craven returns as a director/writer/actor in this film and saves the franchise, restoring the respect and fear to Freddy Krueger as in the first film.The idea for the plot is quite clever: Heather, the real-life actress who plays Nancy in the first movie, now (fictionally) married and with a 6 year old son, starts having nightmares about Freddy, as well as her son. In turn, Wes Craven is preparing a new plot for a new movie with Freddy, based on the belief that his own nightmares tell him that a demonic force uses the Freddy icon to break free in the real world and that the only way to preventing it is by having Heather to interpret Nancy again and fight it back into the underworld to which it belongs, or in other words, put the genie back in the bottle.Some of the killings were a repetition of previous movies, so it lacks a bit imagination on that department. The only other thing that could improve this movie would be a confrontation between the actor Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) and 'the' Freddy Krueger. Freddy in this film is actually more threatening and scary, not playing so much with his victims as in the first movie with the evil jokes, which makes him a much more direct and imminent threat.To me, the first "Nightmare" and this, both by Wes Craven, are really the only worthy ones.

Wes Craven is still the master of horror who created a masterpiece after watching all the movies in the series and couldn't follow the continuation set up.His genius mind went further by having the dream stalker haunt the real life actors and caste that created the original film.Taking the real life stalking incident involving Heather Lengkemp and the L.A earthquakes to invoke haunting imagery that makes you question if Freddy is real or is she being driven crazy by a maniacal madman who will stop at nothing to have Heather to himself.You can tell that Wes cared about the source he originally created by making it scary again. The scene were Heather falls into her husband's casket only for him to come alive have me the heevie jeebies. Freddy is the real life boogeyman that pops out from closets and underneath beds to eat or kill you. That way he was meant to be.Adding Heather's family was a tad bit recycled yet I loved how each one was involved or used in different ways. Chase who is the boulder and holds the household together. Heather our heroine in this center piece and her son Dylan who may or may not be a shell for Freddy to possess.Coming out during The scream era it does have a few nods t I other films or acknowledges they exist.The lighting is perfect, features the best acting in any of the films and delivered a suspenseful roller coaster ride that doesn't disappoint.If your tired of bad sequels and remakes check out new Nightmare.It will thrill you, chill You and may even kill you.
