Rating: 4.0
An interesting twist on the Nightmare series
On the set of the newest Nightmare On Elm Street movie, A claw comes to life and kills several special effects crew members. Later, Heather Lagenkamp [Playing herself] begins to have nightmares about Freddy [Robert Englund, Who in addition to Freddy also plays himself as well in this movie] in real life. To make matters worse, Heather's son, Dylan, Is also being haunted by Freddy as he goes on a rampage murdering the past and present cast members of Nightmare movies. This is just what the Nightmare series needed to do: Reinvent itself. This is not a sequel to any of the previous 6 movies, But rather, An effective spin-off. There's plenty of gore, A very clever story, Good acting, And great special effects to keep slasher fans happy throughout the course of this movie. Worth a watch if you wanna see a new take on the character of Freddy Krueger. Followed years later by another spin-off, Freddy Vs. Jason.
