    Storyline

    Edit
    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. —Cinema_Fan

    • Trivia
      Freddy's sweater was knitted by Judy Graham, the same woman who knitted Freddy's sweater in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
    • Goofs
      (at around 18 mins) When Nancy and Quentin are talking in the school, between shots Quentin's jumper moves so that 'Joy Division' is fully visible on his T-shirt, however when the camera moves back to the position it was before, the jumper has moved back, so that you can only see 'Y Divis'.

    What For?
    Freddy Krueger is my number one maniac of horror movies and I have watched the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise many times in the movie theaters, on VHS and on DVD. Inclusive I have a wonderful memorabilia of this great villain in the shelf where I store my horror movies. Robert Englund became a cult-actor because of his magnificent interpretation of Freddy Krueger, blending humor and cruelty in the right proportions.

    This remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" does not add any value to the franchise, with a story that does not show anything that has not been seen before, except the awful Freddy Krueger, performed by Jackie Earle Haley. Anyway, the acting is decent and the special effects are great. My vote is five.

    Title (Brazil): "A Hora do Pesadelo" ("The Hour of the Nightmare")
