Wow, it's about time!
What an amazing movie!It's about how the star actress of ANOES1, Heather Lagenakamp, has to deal with a new Freddy! Not the movie one. A one created from pure ancient evil, made because there were no more Elm Steet movies to contain Freddy from the real world. An amazing idea to make Freddy SCARY. Yes folks, SCARY.Wes know's how Freddy was ruined. You can tell. Watch the interview scene. If Freddy's supposed to be some evil demon, why do people hold up signs and cheer for him and even DRESS as him? Becuase people loved the witty him. Wes didn't.Pretty good acting. Lagenkamp, Saxon, Englund, and even Craven himself do amazing at acting. Englund is his own scary self, and his nice side when he isn't dressed as Krueger. Lagenkamp makes a very great scream queen, again. Saxon shows his expierience in this flick! Amazing...except...for the kid. Mako Hughes (or whatever his name is)...was not too good. But then again, most kid actors aren't. He was very bad, except when he went into his seizures/temper explosions.The special effects were decent, not as great as the first Elm street, but pretty good. Many refereneces to the first one with the effects, such as the revolving room, tongue phone, and goo stairs. The revolving room (Julie's death) was simple and brilliant. The cyber glove coming to life was pretty good also!The best part of this movie is how it actually made freddy scary! You will probably scream at least one while watching this. The scariest scene is probably when Heather opens her closet and Freddy's standing ther eand says "Miss me?" and tries to slaughter her. Very creepy, even the simple stuff like Freddy's stretching arms and really long tongue. I wouldn't want some freak's tongue wrapping me up!Overall, I recommend this movie. It's very good, falling third behind Dream Warriors and the original. The only thing i did not like was that it is really slow in the beginning...Miko Hughes...and the slightly weak deaths (aka Chuck and Terry because they're not even shown). Four stars!
