A great movie, easily the most brilliant of the “Nightmare on Elm Street” series. It’s witty, smart, funny, entertaining, and you’ll still like yourself in the morning for watching it.
Visually, the movie is a knockout. Craven-who, along with George Romero and David Cronenberg, was one of the real masters of post-'60s low-budget horror-never made a scarier picture than the original "Nightmare." But he's probably never made a better one than this-one that was more fun to watch or had a more satisfying conclusion, that slammed the door on hell with such panache.
Cleverly mixing shamelessness and panache, Wes Craven's New Nightmare is easily the most dazzlingly self-referential seventh installment in a horror series ever. [14 Oct 1994, p.60]
I haven't been exactly a fan of the "Nightmare" series, but I found this movie, with its unsettling questions about the effect of horror on those who create it, strangely intriguing.
Wes Craven’s New Nightmare lacks the trancelike dread of the original Nightmare, and it features almost none of the ingeniously demented special effects that made the series’ third installment, Dream Warriors, a hallucinatory exercise in MTV horror. This one is just an empty hall of mirrors.
For most of its running time, Wes Craven's New Nightmare is simply a s-l-o-w- tease to a paradoxical, reality-bending shockfest that never materializes. [14 Oct 1994, p.G9]
Действительно свежий взгляд на "Кошмар улицы Вязов" Про фильм в фильме или про совмещение реальностей? Я так и не понял, но что мне понравилась, ровно 10 лет прошло с первого фильма и вновь увидеть старых героев первого фильма, в такой обстановке типа как смотришь документальный фильм, а не фильм, а потом он плавно перетекает в фильм ужасов. В фильме наверно снялись все кто отвечал за франшизу в том или ином роде, Роберт Инглунд в роли себя и Фреда, Хизер Лангенкамп, как в роли себя так и Нэнси, так же увидел Роберта Шейна, и Уйса Крейвена,жаль не пригласили еще героев из предыдущих фильмов, типа все главные герои объединились чтобы победить, была бы ваще бомба. Вот эта картинка когда Хизер предлагают сыграть еще в одном фильме, до сих пор у меня в голове, я бы ее в каждый фильм, мне кажется франшиза только выиграла если бы нэнси появлялась в каждом фильме, может не на главном месте(а лучше на главном) Первая половина фильма, наверно реальность ибо так и проходит будние дни звезд, а после как я и говорил раньше после совмещение реальностей назовет так, привычный фильм ужасов, только одно но, друзья Хизер не погибают, как то не привычно.
Just an ok movie. Really good storyline though. Wes Craven is making another Freddy movie, but everything that happens in the making of the new movie, is happening in their real lives.
In this film, Freddy Krueger will haunt the nightmares of the actress Heather Langenkamp who, ten years earlier, gave life to the heroine of the first film in the franchise, and who this time comes back to play herself. The script is constructed as if Krueger were real and were, in fact, haunting the film's production, which is undoubtedly an original variation of what we already know.
This is the last film in the classic franchise "A Nightmare on Elm Street", one of the most successful horror slasher films. The films before this one already revealed the wear of conventional formulas and everything indicated that no more films would be made to continue the franchise. However, the creativity of Wes Craven (who also signs other films of the genre, such as "Scream") managed to make this film revive the public's interest in this material a little. However, it is a film that wears out as it passes, and the ending is somewhat disappointing.
Wes Craven is creative and can imagine good stories, but he was never the ideal director to demand the most from the cast. Heather Langenkamp interprets herself, but the truth is that one can hardly consider her dramatic interpretation to be really good. The actress just didn't seem to be engaged. For the last time, Robert Englund brings the character that immortalized him to the big screen, and does a competent job, even though I feel that the actor's work has been considerably better in previous films.
Technically, the film seems to be expensive and has more money involved than the previous ones in the franchise. Cinematography is standard and does not present anything truly remarkable. Englund's makeup work doesn't look as interesting and authentic as it did in other films, but it does its job competently. The sets and costumes are good, and there is a touch of originality that is felt slightly in the visual and special effects, as well as in the dynamics of the film, which was very well edited.
