Reviews for Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Top CriticA fantastic original sequel
02/04/08
This film gives us all the terror of the original without any of the sarcasm of the rest of the series. Wes Craven's return is impressive and rivals the original in terms of quality.
11/03/07
Nothing less than the 8½ of slasher movies.

Decent return of a serious Freddy.
04/08/05
Craven takes us into one of the most bizarro horror setups ever put to film, as he reveals, yeah, those other six films were all just movies, but now it's for real. He's not kidding.

A smart self-referential horror movie that plays the references for scares, not laughs.
09/12/03
An ingenious, cathartic exercise in illusion and fear.

Top CriticWes Craven's ultimate ego trip take on Freddy Krueger. Most interesting than good. Often dull.

An intricately constructed horror film, it not only takes you to hell and back, but thoroughly engages the mind as well as the emotions.
04/12/02
If the film's execution lacks the stuff it struts in conception, it's still quite a concept, and a unique, cerebral horror film.
