Product: New Nightmare [VHS] (1994)
Rating: 5.0
Back to basic's 9/10
After the let down of Nightmare On Elm Street 5 & The mediocore Freddy's Dead Wes Craven returned to the series & I know that this movie gets a lot of s**t but I feel it's as good as 1-4 basically cause this was a movie with in a movie & Wes Craven directed all 3 Scream movies I I like the Scream trilogy. I feel this was better than any of the Scream movies Heather Langenkamp plays herself Robert Englund as himself & the New Freddy John Saxton plays himself David Newsom as Chase Porter Wes Craven as himself Miko Hughes as Dylan Porter & Tracy Middendorf as Julie. Ok movie starts off Heather is having a dream on a movie set where Freddy targets Heather & Dylan also there are these Earth Quakes happening that are opening an alternate reality. Heather is doing an interview on this show & Robert Englund shows up as Freddy it is a funny scene & the last will see of old Freddy cause the rest you see is a New Freddy he has a new look he has a long coat. Well Heather gets home & she thinks her son is sick tells her husbanded Chase who's a special effects guy to get home he is having trouble staying awake & he gets clawed up by Freddy. Heather knows it was no wreck. Dylan also starts acting funny again there's this scene where this Nurse accuses Heather of chd ßú3$e & I really wanted Heather Langenkamp to knock her out. Julie is killed the same way Tina was in the original & Freddy tells Dylan "Hey Dylan ever play skin the @t!" There is a really good scene on the free way with Freddy in the clouds Freddy has took Dylan & she has a fight with Freddy puts in a furnace & burns him killing Freddy once & for all & saves Dylan. I just really liked how they took all the best things from the original & updated it & this look for Freddy was always the intended look IMO not how it was done in the remake. Although New Nightmare impressed critics it only made 18 millon which was bull $#*t!
