Product Description
A coda to the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' series that, written and directed by the creator Wes Craven, mixes fact and fiction to scare us witless. Craven and his producer play themselves, persuading the now grown up Heather Langenkamp (of the first film) to return to Elm Street one more time. She and Robert Englund are lured back to play their characters again, but this time they cannot walk away from them when they leave the film set at the end of the day.

whatever you do, make sure you buy this version of the film insteafd of the carlton relase of it! for starters, this has features!
the film features freddy making his way into the real world and attacking the cast of the orginal film.
heather's son in this film is the scariest thing about this film! but freddy does look bad ass!
no johnny depp, reasons being that, wes didnt ask him cause he was a big actor now and wouldn't want to do it. when he finished the film he got a phone call from depp asking why he wasn't in the film!
overall id say this is good. nice movie, nice ending and better than freddy's dead. but for the love of jason, make sure you buy this version!

My title doesn't really do this film justice as it is clever and original but just not as cutting or as darkly funny as Craven's smash hit 'Scream'. Freddy returns via a film that's being made about him, and he subsequently terrorises Heather Langenkamp (star of the original 1984 film) and her family; channelling through her young son Dylan. The movie is arguably the most original in the 'Elm Street' series and Freddy even has a new state of the art slasher glove! After Part 6 of the original franchise supposedly killed Kruger off for good, this is a welcome return and a fresh take on an old idea.

Wes Craven was reportedly miffed at New Line Cinema for trashing his vision with Nightmare 2 so he went back to Robert Shaye with the great ideas that became Nightmare 3. Sadly the plot was lost again, Freddy became less mysterious and sinister and more the camp killer uncle. Fan though I am of 1,3,4 & 7 the others lost it. In Freddy's Dead Krueger didnt put up much of a fight where there were so much room for intense dream sequences and frightening effects New Line dished out a rushed answer to there problems. 1994 came the release of this Wes Craven's New Nightmare, here Wes would prove that he is and always will be the only one to create the best Freddy film using his original vision. This is a truly inventive film with great acting and a sinister Krueger, though the body count trend in the sequels is quashed here as there really isnt an excessive body count. Had New Line used the makeup and look for Freddy in this film FVJ would have been so much better.

Another day, another Freddy movie! If you are a 'Freddy' fan then you'll love this movie. It is a basic slasher movie, lots of gore and screaming, what more can I say?!

By M. Western
Im a big fan of slasher films so i am obviously a big fan of the Nightmare on elm street films and this is definetly one of the best ones.
This is one of the best stories to the series and the graphicks are quiet good too.
Freddy looks really scary in this one too but i missed his old home made iorn claw.
It was good having Heather Langencamp back too. It gave the film a good Elm street feel.
I didnt like the way the film ended, it all went so fast. All that happened was freddy getting burned in a dream, they could have been a bit more creative.
This is probably my third favorite of the series now (my first bieng part 3 Dream Warriors and my second the first one), this film uses good acting, a good story and to finish it off a bit of freddy Kruger and his trusty set of blades.

It's not enough to bring Freddy Krueger back to life one more time after his official death. But Wes Craven has to come back too with the original characters, Nancy and her stubborn cop of a father. But we cannot really revive characters in a film so many years after their first appearance. So Wes Craven pushes what he calls « only make believe » one iota further and farther. Freddy was only a disguise for a real bad spirit in the world (Anne Rice has done that with her vampires and the Queen of the Damned, or Stephen King has also used this formula with his Dark Man in quite a few novels, liek The Stand, and short stories) and this really bad spirit has decided to come back to the real world once and for all and under his own identity if possible, or under that of Freddy Krueger if the minds of people are obsessed by his existence. This evil spirit is of course the devil himself and it will be revealed in the very last scene. So the actors are playing their real parts and Freddy is invading their real world. It is then « make believe power two ». And it is all the more efficacious and effective because the actors are themselves and no fake identities. Wes Craven brings along his particularly caustic mind and spirit and really gets the mickey out of medical authorities, doctors, women and blacks alike, and all the fake myth about the protection of kids first and for all against their own parents. Wes Craven definitely seems to accuse society to be the real culprit, the real cause of all problems with kids, and grown-ups too. This society that classifies everyone in one little box and that can put a six year old boy in the schizophrenia box without realizing that it is going to make him schizophrenic. The classification creates the items that are classified in it.... Read more ›
