Storyline

It's nearing the 10th Anniversary of the film 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and one of the stars, Heather Langenkamp is being scared by a voice on a phone, sounding very similar to the film's villain, Freddy Krueger. When Heather's husband is killed in a car accident and is discovered with slash marks on him, Heather starts to wonder something. Especially when she discovers that Wes Craven is writing another 'Nightmare' film. Soon, she realizes that Freddy has now entered the real world, and the only way to defeat him is to become Nancy Thompson once again. Written by Film_Fan

Goofs

During the scene in which we see Freddy phone Heather Langenkamp at her home after Chase leaves, the sounds of hanging up the phone do not match what Heather is doing. Also, Freddy's voice, saying "Freddy's coming for you!", is still heard a split second after the phone is hung up. See more »

Crazy Credits

Near the end of the credits reads: "Some parts of this motion picture were inspired by actual events. Others may be attributed to the overactive imagination of a five-year-old boy" ... "The names of certain of the characters portrayed have been changed to protect the innocent. Certain incidents portrayed have been dramatized. With the exclusion of those courageous individuals who portrayed themselves, any similarity to the name, character or history of any person, living or dead, is entirely coincidnetal and unintentional."

Unusual,but it works.
16 August 2002 | by (Devon,England) – See all my reviews

I saw this movie years ago,when I saw it I thought it was weird,but a very good idea making the other movies in the series fiction. This time it is Nancys character playing herself along with the other characters.It becomes clear that Freddy this time is real and is stalking all of them.Then Heather and her child are both in danger of Freddy.

Wes Cravens New nightmare is different from the rest of the series but it shows much more originality and is more realistic.It takes a while for it to kick in but when it does it is very effective and works very well with suspense and special effects.I rate 4/5.
