Storyline

Death stalks the dreams of several young adults to claim its revenge on the killing of Freddy Kruger. Chased and chastised by this finger-bladed demon, it is the awakening of old memories and the denials of a past of retribution that spurns this hellish vision of a dreamlike state and turns death into a nightmare reality.

Trivia

Freddy Krueger and Nancy are the only character names that reflect the original A Nightmare on Elm Street. In the remake, however, Nancy's surname has changed from Thompson to Holbrook. Also, in the remake, whether coincidental or intentional, the characters of Kris and Jesse seem to be references of "Kristen Parker" (from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) and "Jesse Walsh" (from A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge).

Goofs

When Quentin answers Nancy's phone call he you can clearly see the main screen instead of the blue in-call sequence. Later he presses the phone closer against his face and the application screen appears. See more »

Where was the whimsical world of nightmares?
29 April 2010 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The first scene was my favorite part. Through the remainder of the movie Freddy's voice became more of an annoyance and distraction than a cause for fear (very similar to Christian Bale's Batman). I entered the movie expecting to get whisked away to the wonderful dream-world of Freddy Krueger but was instead pulled into a high school slasher film promoting a typical killer with a grudge and thirst for blood. The fact the victim was trapped inside a dream battling with Freddy wasn't quite enough to satisfy the sense of a nightmarish killer's dream world. The movie lacked the demented mental toyings a character like Freddy should possess (e.g. Pennywise). At the premier, the entire theater let out a "Boo" at the end of the movie. I recommend watching the original Freddy movies instead.
