Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Freddy's back, only this time he's not confined to dreams in this macabre film within a film. Heather Langenkamp, star of the original NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, along with other actors and director Craven all appear as themselves. When Heather's husband is mysteriously killed her son begins to have disturbing nightmares, culminating in a bizarre encounter with the fictional boogeyman. As self-referential as Craven's SCREAM movies, but much more serious and creepy. Some scenes shot on location near the aftermath of the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

Before director Wes Craven came back big time with Scream, he took a stab at the intellectual horror film, adding this semi-documentary-style sequel to the Nightmare on Elm Street series. The terrorised teenager from the original, Heather Langenkamp, plays herself, an actress troubled by (a real?) Freddy Krueger. In addition to the healthy dose of shocks, there's a look behind the scenes of the horror film, and, although the project occasionally reeks of self-indulgence, you have to admire Craven (who also appears as himself) for trying something new rather than just cashing in on the franchise.

A strange mixture of fantasy and what passes for reality in Hollywood, with Heather Langenkamp playing herself as the star of the first Elm Street film but being given a fictional life as a wife and mother threatened by Freddy. The result is likely to app

Bloody Great!!!!
More blood, more kills, more thrills and more horrific. At times you loose track but when you watch it the 1st time some parts are confusing and you might get lost, but on the second time round, it's fine, you get the idea and it slots into place perfectly.

The Master reenergises
Right, I admit I love the series, as the first film was the first horror film I watched and it scared the crap of of me!!! (And still does)
Wes Craven, Freddy's creator, comes back for this film and it improves greatly, mixing what is reality with what is a fictional story, to give a new twist to Freddy.
