Product: New Nightmare [VHS] (1994)
Rating: 5.0
Deliciously Scary
I agree. I am a hard core Freddy fan and I love horror. With the first Nightmare, viewers actually FEARED Freddy Kruger. I was 5 years old when Nightmare on Elm Street came out, and I can remember my Freddy Nightmares (YES MY MOTHER LET ME WATCH THE FILM, and it DOES NOT make her a bad mother!) However, with every sequel, Freddy moved from a force of evil to a comical thrasher, and I enjoyed those films too because I could always count on Freddy to find some clever funny way to kill someone. (That girl's head being smashed into the TV was funny as HELL!! Welcome to Prime Time B!tch!).I was a bit curious to see what Wes, the creator, would do with this final film. I must admit, this movie scared the hell out of even me. It was creepy, dark, and evil, more like the original Nightmare. Even Lagenkamp, who I did not feel was a strong actress in either 1 or 3, blew me away in this movie. You really wanted the other characters in the film to see what WE saw, so that they could believe her and keep her son awake.I can say from a horror stand point, this movie is definitely in my top 5.
