Nightmare 7 Doesn't Quite Cut It.
I know i'm not in the popular crowd here. I really, really tried to enjoy this movie. I thought it was overlong and the acting extremely lethargic at best. Was Wes trying to put us to sleep? I found this movie very hard to sit through, and it wasn't because of the lack of killings. It's just a very slow movie. I think if there was more to the storyline, I may have enjoyed it. The first hour of the movie is Heather trying to figure out what's happening to her son, who is acting very strangely. Yawn!I also found myself almost laughing at the corny dialog between Wes and Heather when Wes is explaining that Freddy has nowhere to go after the "Nightmare" series ended and now "the Genie is let out of the bottle." Gee, lets see. A character that was made up and doesn't exist in the first 6 movies, all of a sudden exists in real life, and now wants to terrorize the cast of the original "Nightmare"? Does this make sense?The actor who plays Dylan is decent I guess, but i've seen better kid actors. It just wasn't convincing enough. I can see him acting, and that's not good.I think this would have been a better movie if it was cut a little shorter and it didn't disregard the rest of the "Nightmare" series. For fans who may have not seen this movie, I say watch it. For people who can care less, stick with the first "Nightmare".
