Simply put, this movie disappointed me. Credit for some cool visuals, but those few moments aside, this movie was terribly boring. Having only seen New Nightmare once, it felt as though it were made for a younger audience (significantly younger than that of the rest of the franchise). I was very excited to see this movie due to its interesting premise and promise of creativity... Apparently the premise is more interesting than the movie itself. Having the movie centre around a little boy wasn't a bad idea (despite the cliché effect it has had on many other horror films), but was executed poorly. The violence was dissatisfying, and occurred rarely for a movie featuring Freddy Krueger. New Nightmare is not bad, but for the film that should have rebooted the Elm Street franchise, it includes little to nothing frightening, funny, or particularly interesting. At least, not enough to make it worth the run time. This one wouldn't have been a loss if skipped. -Old Review

Set in the real world, this movie brings back Nancy (Heather Langencamp) as herself. Now having dreams of Freddy in her actual life, she is terrified for her life, the life of her partner and of course the life of her son. It transpires, that these new encounters are coin-sidle with Wes Craven's own dreams; he has started writing again, and his imagination is bringing Freddy to life and this time it's for real! More sinister than before, it brings back some of the terror, we witnessed so long ago, the terror that has been missing in every single one of the series that didn't involve Wes Craven. A Nice idea, that works well. 7/10

I've seen and heard this film get praised and praised but really I found it to be a disappointment. Wasn't it better than the sequels??..well yes it may be better than most of them(which the exception of 3 & 4) but it's hardly anything truly great. Things I disliked about this film: Predictable: oh how utterly predictable this has all become by this point and this film which does start off promising ends up back into the same old familiar territory at the end. The kid: he is so dang annoying. Too often they go overboard with having him either trying to be overly sweet or overly menacing. The best thing I liked about the film: Heather Langenkamp who despite being put through the physical and emotional ringer with this movie looks absolutely "smoking" throughout it. Her effort alone rises it above most of the Nightmare films and I continue to prefer those in which she appeared.

This had to the worst Freddy movie they made. As a Freddy fan I'm insulted by this movie first of all the plot made no sense. Freddy wasn't even dressed the same he had a trenchcoat and what happened to the dream thing. Freddy now can kill you when you're not looking. I would give a 0 from a scale of 1 to 10.

Heather Langenkamp, Miko Hughes, Robert Englund, Wes Craven, John Saxon, Nick Corri, Tracey Middendorf and Robert Shaye. This movie is a movie in a movie. Actress Heather Langenkamp, who played Nanci in the first and third film is having a reccurring dream that Freddy might become real. She plays herself, and knows Robert Englund, but is still thinking Fred might come to life. It gets really stupid when Fred's prop glove actually comes to life and the glove kills people. I expected better. my review-2/4 stars. 98 minutes.

This is a wonderful movie. It takes place in the real world, rather than the universe of the first six Freddy movies. Heather Langenkamp, Wes Craven, Robert England, and others play themselves. The concept of the movie is that an evil supernatural being was actually responsible for Wes Craven coming up with the Freddy Krueger character. After Freddy was killed for good in part six, that supernatural being began terrorizing Heather in her dreams and her husband and son. Heather ends up having to go into dreamland to save her son and kill the monster. This is a scary great movie.

This film honestly blew me a away a little. My boyfriend and I started watching all the Nightmare on Elm Street films this week for the first time. We loved the first and the third, and the others were ok or bad. But then we got to New Nightmare and we loved it! It was actually scary at times, very suspenseful (Wes Cravens finger in this shines through), good acting and a very unique premise and good enough story. I thought Scream was meta, but this went through the roof. It was done in a very clever way throughout, so it was done right. Writing was good, casting was great, and I generally recommend it for a good scarefest with an old school 90s horror feel.
