Thank God Wes Craven Came Back in This Outing"
"Wes Craven's New Nightmare" is not a sequel to the "Elm Street" films, but a stand alone movie that shows a new and improved Freddy Kruger (more scary and horrifying than in the last 3 outings) mainly because Craven wrote the script having Freddy less funny and comical and more a murderer which was his premise all along.In this installment Freddy comes back to kill all those responsible for making the "Nightmare on Elm Street" films and unveiling the maniac he is.On a paltry budget of $8,000,000 the movie only became a modest success raking in $18,000,000 and being slammed by fans and critics alike. This would be the last time we would see one of the greatest villins in cinema history until 2003 when "Freddy vs. Jason" was released.
