Where it All Comes Full Circle

Wes Craven's return to the ANEOS series is also where everything comes full circle. This film vindicated the past sequels (which were pretty good), and wrapped up the Nightmare films perfectly.

New Nightmare is a self-referential film that expands the Freddy myth while parodying itself. The self-referential perspective of the film adds to the horrific feeling it conveys.

Overall, New Nightmare is a great example of how to complete a franchise. It creates a larger story while wrapping everything up. May 25, 2008

new nightmare fanatic

the movie was very entertaining. i had already seen it when i was i little girl and just had to see it again. i felt like it was my very first time seeing it. everything was on point, the music, the mask, the makeup. this is the best freddy kruger movie that ive seen thus far. my favorite part was when he came out of dylans bed. i think it was mostly the music that made that part the most entertaining to me. i know this movie was made so long ago and there probably wont be a nightmare on elm street 8 but if the creator decides to make another one, ill be first in line to buy my ticket.

Only a diehard Freddy fan could appreciate this

I have a hard time deciding which is the bigger waste of time. This or the previous two. New Nightmare had a very interesting story. But this movie suffered from two very big flaws. A very low body count and it was centered around that boy. I really didn't feel his character at all.

It was good seeing the Freddy character return to his very dark roots. The problem is his full appearance was too late in the movie. And he really didn't do anything special. Except a rehash scene from the first one. The pacing was too slow and the plot was up and downhill.

It's not scary and Freddy doesn't look nowhere near as scary as people sell it. If you made it this far in your life without Freddy. Continue to move on or just rent or borrow it. But the first 4 are the only ones really worth seeing.
