Ten years after writer and director Wes Craven brought his personal nightmares to the movie screen as Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street, the horrifying child killer returns, stepping out of his celluloid world to haunt the life of the actress who first defeated him on film. This seventh film in the series has the cast starring as themselves in a wicked spin as key players from earlier installments are terrorized by Freddy Kreuger and his razor-fingered glove. (iTunes)

After five sequels, of which some were of higher and some of lesser quality, and one totally out there (the second instalment), legendary Wes Craven returned to the series, finally bringing some fresh air in the form of a new concept and interesting ideas. And even if, admittedly, New Nightmare’s second half has numerous variations on horror scenes and murders from the initial movie, and Freddy is only sparingly seen on the screen, one must objectively acknowledge that this film offers the best story of all sequels. This film will particularly appeal to cinephile fans of the series, who will appreciate the horror-style behind-the-scene views and staff appearances, featuring a significant number of actors as themselves, but also producers, visual effects artists and most of all, director Wes Craven, whose ‘new nightmares’ made this last ‘meta’ part of the sequel possible – and delightful.
