I'm a huge Wes Craven fan, so I was expecting to like this, but I didn't expect it to unsettle me as much as it did. It's silly in the special way Craven movies are, and often very funny. Lots of the special effects look weird and dated (though they do look more 2002 than 1994, so congrats I guess), and for maybe 90 minutes of the 110 minute runtime I thought this felt like the buildup to a buildup, the first ten minutes of a suggestion of fear stretched out a little too long. but when the final climax starts up, I have to tell you, it scared the hell out of me. In the back of my mind…
"the fans, god bless em, they're clamoring for more. i guess evil never dies, right?"
"it was a script... it was a dream."
the consequence of working in arts and production and being able to turn your dreams into reality is that you can inadvertently do the same with your nightmares. an excellent piece of metafiction horror where the monster known for infiltrating our fantasies infiltrates the ultimate collective fantasy in some of the scariest, most delirious setpieces craven ever conjured up. miss him so much
New Nightmare is the best one in the franchise after the original and Dream Warriors. The plot is so meta, blurring lines between reality and fantasy. In previous sequels Freddy became more camp than scary, Wes brought him back to his scary roots here. Tho the movie feels kinda lengthy and without any of the humour of the rest of the series. Heather Langenkamp's performance is surprisingly good unlike her last two in the series.
Reality, meet fantasy.
I adore the first two acts of this movie, culminating in what may be my favorite sequence in this franchise—after the freeway scene when heather runs back to her home where she cinematic king John Saxon starts talking to her… The moment he stops calling her heather and starts calling her Nancy as Freddy finally breaks through and Nosferatu walks out of Dylan’s room is aces, plus the street scene where we now see 1428 elm as the nightmare theme kicks in still gives me best possible movie watching feeling an idiot like me could get. I’m not the biggest fan of the third act but regardless… this is fun and always a pleasure to revisit.
Hard to believe this came out ten years after the OG Nightmare... harder to believe it’s been 27 years since then.
There really isn’t a review I could write to do justice to the relationship I have to this movie. It came out when I was like 15 years old so it was that time when I was getting physically close to being able to see R rated movies on my own, but I still technically couldn’t unless I got sneaky and oh say, purchased a previously viewed copy from my local video store, but until that happened I was utterly OBSESSED with this movie and everything about it. The poster. The trailer. The marketing. I ate it allllll up and wanted more. I read the novelization over and over just trying to get it all in until I had access…
Depois de alguns filmes ruins da franquia, finalmente algo bom. Wes Craven está de volta e conseguiu trazer de volta essa franquia que já estava super desgastada. O humor é deixado de lado, aqui temos momentos mais tensos o que não tinha tanto nos filmes anteriores, o visual novo do Freddy é muito bom e bem aterrorizante, aquela cena do hospital é incrível, uma das minhas favoritas do filme. Heather Langenkamp nossa eterna Nancy está de volta, e incrível como sempre, Robert Englund também, uma perfomance incrível e trouxe de volta o Freddy do primeiro filme, aterrorizante. É gritante a diferença da franquia quando é dirigida pelo próprio Wes, né?
Every kid knows who Freddy is. He's like Santa Claus, or King Kong.

Probably my favorite Nightmare on Elm Street sequel as it might be even better written then the original. Wes Craven comes back for the 7th film and manages to recreate the tone and mood from his 1984 original. What I think is so ingenious is that he does this not by ignoring what went wrong with all the previous sequels, but actually using it for his story.
Craven knows that Freddy Krueger killing the Elm Street teens in their sleep has been overdone and it has become to familiar. It needs to be something that our protagonist knows is a threat, but will be unbelievable…
“The more she read, the more she realized what she had in her hands was nothing more or less than her life itself. That everything she had experienced and thought was bound within these pages. There was no movie. There was only...her...life...”
Regards, Wes.

Earlier today I was reading a story about a man whose penis was stolen in 2012. Fei Lin, a 41 year old man from China, was sleeping peacefully when he was rudely awoken by a bunch of men. They shoved a bag over his head, pulled down his pants and then before he knew it they were gone. Taking the bag off his head, he looked down only to be completely shocked that his penis was missing. The thieves had chopped off his dick and had run away with it into the night. The police never found the men who did it, nor did they find his cock.
So, when Freddie's bladed glove…
Nach dem Rewatch ist vor dem Rewatch?
Wes Craven inszeniert und verleugnet sein eigenes Franchise im Zusammenfügen und Vermischen seines eigenen Schaffens.
Fruchten die ersten sechs Teile mit einer durchaus konstanten Qualität mit den Ausreißern wie den zweiten Teil der beim Rewatch deutlich besser wegkommt und der Vollkatastrophe mit dem sechsten wie einer innerlich geschlossenen und plausiblen Story und Gesetzesmäßigkeit, setzt der erstmals nach dem Urvater des Filmuniversums wieder auf dem Regiestuhl Platz genommene Craven sein Universum in die Metaebene gleich seinem zweiten großen Wurf mit „Screem“. Sonst verblendet dieser Erzählart voller Augenzwinkern und Metaphern wie Referenzen die ich, eigentlich, verstehen müsste aber immer wieder meine Unwissenheit vorgesetzt bekomme wie zum Beispiel in den hochgelobten Werken wie „Community“ oder „Rick…
