Product: New Nightmare [VHS] (1994)
Rating: 5.0
The Best Nightmare Since the Original
This movie was easily the best sequel in the series. The idea of Freddy coming into the real world and trying to get out of the movies was awesome. The series took a really bad turn when they made Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. It was so bad. I'm so glad Wes Craven took the time to end this series with his great writing and excellent directing. He put the series to rest. This series, like others, had suffered the sequel syndrome. Halloween, Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre are some examples. John Carpenter should come back to end Halloween with a ninth chapter. Even H20 was the best sequel since the first. They should have ended it there. But anyway here is my opinion on how the Nightmare sequels go from best to worst.1. Nightmare on Elm Street2. Wes Craven's New Nightmare3. Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors4. Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child5. Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master6. Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge7. Freddy's Dead: The Final NightmareBut I give my thanks to Wes Craven for ending this series. If he hadn't, we probably would have been up Nightmare on Elm Street 12. Thanks Wes.P.S. I can't wait for Freddy vs. Jason. Wes Craven and Sean S. Cunningham are producing it.
