Product: New Nightmare [VHS] (1994)
Rating: 5.0
The best of the entire Freddy series!
Some big spoilers ahead.Read carefully!If you ask me,this is the best of the whole series.I liked the NOES series,but I wasn't really a big fan.The first was only OK,the second a little better,3 pretty cool,4 not bad,5 OK,6 entertaining,but weak.I was excited when I heard about NOES 7,but when I went to see it,it turned out soooo much better than I thought it would. The story is extremely imaginative and creative. Instead of mindlessly slaughtering teens on Elm Street (which got very old),Freddy terrorizes the film makers who created him and tries to get his revenge on Nancy (actually Heather Langenkamp). I absolutely fell in love with this,and if you ask me,this is by far the scariest of the series. I mean,the idea of Freddy being a real person,is just terrifying.He looks really cool in this one too and looks soooo much better than in the first six NOES movies.His new bio-engineered claw looks awesome and makes his old glove look like a child's mitten.His new style of make-up rocks! He looks really dark and is badder than ever.The special F/X blew me away.The confrontation at the end between Freddy,Heather and Dylan in the Mayan temple is really incredible and the ending is the kind of ending Part 1 should've had.I really don't have any complaints here.Wes Craven realized what was wrong with the first six movies and improved it. Freddy's awesome new look,kick a$$ special F/X, an incredibly high scare factor and an incredible ending make this the best Freddy movie ever.Buy it now! Rated R for "gory" violence and very little profanity.
