While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Wes Craven is back in the director's chair! A very interesting concept lead to a thrilling, suspenseful movie! Quite honestly, one of my favorites in the series.

Wes craven does post modernism before it was cool, this 2 years before he revitilised the horror genre again with "Scream". The horror movie becomes reality as Freddy Krueger (Newly suited and booted, with a harsher glint in his eye, harsher than any of the sequels had) has been chosen by a demonic entity as a portal to the real world."The only way to stop Freddy is to make another movie." proclaims Wes Craven, as Wes Craven. It seems to be an interesting take on what the effects are on watching horror and even working in horror. Nearly everyone plays themselves, and there are a lot of tidbits and insider jokes for serious horror fans. You look at each set and there is immense detail to be found, the colour pattern of Wes Cravens office for example and what's on the shelves. The writing is extremely sharp, Wes craven has written and directed "New Nightmare", a film about him writing and directing "New Nightmare" and made it great. A highly original concept that he gets right.I watched this a few years ago and while enjoying it, i was baffled by what it all meant. After watching the whole franchise, and to be frank many more horrors, Wes Cravens New Nightmare was a joy on a number of levels.

Don't get me wrong the third one is good but they add scare factors which made me think this is the second best. This is better than 4, 5 and the supposed to be the last one. It's fresh and underrated sequel in the series. The elements of horror works very well. This a deserve a watch from any horror fan.

Heather Langenkamp is back playing this time herself. She finds that Freddy is real - quite real and was not just a movie she made a few years back. Now can she play the role of Nancy Thompson again to save her son and herself? Well, it does have a few vibes of the original film only because Heather Langenkamp is back in it. But the story is not all that grand to me. This film undermines the original film because Heather Langenkamp is back but play herself, Heather Langenkamp and not as Nancy Thompson. Basically this film says that the original film never did happen, in fact it says that NONE of the sequels happened either. This film just blows the entire franchise or "Elm Street Universe" out of the water. If Heather was back playing the actual role of Nancy again and not herself then I would have liked this film better.It's just OK.4/10
