Extremely Scary and Very Clever
First off, **** 1/2 stars! Anways-I saw this when it came outin 94 and it confused me because it was so unlike any other Freddy movie out there. And I just saw it again last night and it was really creepy and I enjoyed it a lot! The reason I enjoyed it is because it is so unlike that rest. It takes place in the real world, in the life of Heather Langenkamp and her family. That right there makes it a whole lot more interesting than the other countless sequels.It is reaching the 10 year maek of Nightmare On Elm Street, and Wes wants to make another/final Freddy movie, but as the stars playing them self, like this movie does. And it can get confusing at times, and slow but it's exciting when it gets going! So, Wes Craven is having these dreams and writes them dowen into a script and Heather is having dreams and what she dreams comes true and her son ( who is so annoying I wish he would have jumped off the top of that jungle gym!!! ) is acting like Freddy and Neither of them can sleep. And we never really see Freddy until the end but he is definitaly updated! Leather pants and long balck jacket and a metal glove and his burns are strange and his eyes are unreal. It is Robert Englung but you can't tell. And some of my favorite effects are when the kid is in the hospital and the baby sitter gets killed in pretty much the same fasion as Tins in the first movie, but less blood and then the kid escapes and runs across the freeway and that whole scene is very well put together! And then when Heather and her son are in Freddys dream world that too has been re-created. And they aren't as many kills and you don't see Freddy until the last 30-45 minutes but this movie plays with your mind and some people on here say how it's the worst, they say that because you have to think with this movie. It makes you think about it and what will happen next and one person on here says it's bad because there is no nudity, HORROR movies are supposed to scare you, not pleasure you with nakedness. If you want nudity go rent a porn stupid!!! This movie actually had class and sufistication. One of the best in the series!!!!
