I liked it, came at this one differently. If your a Fred fan you'll enjoy this one as well.

Fans Will Love It, It’s A Scary And Very Entertaining Movie.

This movie entertained me a lot...,,it’s Terrifically scary and thrilling.

Who ever wrote the synopsis on the main page of this movie is almost completely wrong. Wes Craven did co-write the original treatment for "Dream Warriors", which is regarded by many fans of the series as one of the best of the sequels. Also, the review has spoilers all in it. But nonetheless, "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" is a great entry in the original "Nightmare on Elm Street" series. Boldly original, and ahead of its time... this one takes place in "reality" with the stars and makers of the series being haunted by Freddy himself. It successfully pushes Freddy back into the shadows, and while after the hijinks of the sequels makes it impossible to make him scary again, Craven does a fine effort of at least making him a serious threat again. A lot of parallels are drawn between this one and the original, and the presence of original stars Heather Langenkamp and John Saxon make it feel like old homecoming week. While its tone and seriousness may disappoint fans of the sequels, this one was clearly made with fans of the original in mind -- a more mature horror film for those who grew up with the original. The DVD package itself is disappointing, but most of the extra features for this movie are on the eighth disc of the mega boxset that came out in 1999. All thats left is a pretty good director's commentary and trailer. Overall, this is a fine movie, and one of the best "Nightmares" to be had.

This is a great follow up to the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Not only does Mr Craven return to the series, playing himself, but he rescusitates two main characters from the original film, played by the original actors, Heather Langenkamp and Robert Englund, also playing themselves. And Freddy's back in all his red, green, and dark terror. This film is a must for any true Nightmare fan as it pulls the story together with the actors, and also pulls the story into the future at the same time.
