Product: New Nightmare [VHS] (1994)
Rating: 3.0
Creepiest most dreadful Nightmare to date
If you are expecting the standard "teens get slaughtered by wisecracking Freddy", think again...this is a truly creepy movie that contains a sense of dread throughout the entire film. Most of the cast from the original Nightmare is back playing essentially themselves in real life. Langenkamp looks just as gorgeous as she did in part three, and she plays a terrified woman who thinks shes losing her mind....shades of "Exorcist" as her little kid seems to be possesed by the evil spirit of Freddy. And Freddy himself is well, "Nightmarish", no pun intended...not the fun maniac we've grown to love and cheer on, but a maleovent, evil character, straight out of hell. The plot is great and at first is like a sort of psychological thriller, that slowly reveals itself to be the 2nd best of the series.
