Product: New Nightmare [VHS] (1994)
Rating: 5.0
Never, ever, sleep again!!!!!
In this movie, Heather Langenkamp returns to play herself-well, sort of. In real life she is married to make up artist David Anderson, but in Wes Craven's "real life" Heather is married to Chase Porter (David Newsom), with a young son, Dylan, (Miko Hughes). Robert England returns as Freddy who, upset that he was killed off in the last "Nightmare on Elm Street" movie, attempts to murder his creators and actors from his previous films. Robert England also plays himself in this movie, which its a nice change to see what he looks like without the makeup. Also Wes Craven has a cameo in his own film, along with director Robert Shaye, producer Marianne Maddalena, and co-executive producer, Sara Risher, actor Sam Rubin, and actress Tuesday Knight. John Saxon also joins the cast, also playing himself.This is the story: we have Heather, Chase and Dylan -a cozy little family. Except that it is the tenth anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Heather is getting weird phone call by a prank caller, her son Dylan is suffering from bad dreams, and to top it all off, her husband Chase is clawed to death while driving in his car. Wes calls Heather into his office asking her to do another Freddy film, with some hesitation, she agrees. Freddy in this movie is the most powerful I have ever seen him. I like the story because its not reality, it's Wes Craven's world and I like being in it for awhile. It's scary and the best movie since the original!
