Wes Craven's New Nightmare - Movie Review

  • After the disaster that was The Final Nightmare, New Line looked to the man who created Freddy Krueger to bring him back from the dead. Wes Craven's New Nightmare has our favorite dream invader trying to cross over into our reality by preying on those who created the original classic: A Nightmare on Elm Street. Though audiences in 1994 definitely were not ready for such a unique form of storytelling, there is no denying the genius and risky spin Wes Craven took with his final installment in the Nightmare franchise. Is Wes Craven's New Nightmare still a highlight in the franchise or has this meta-movie aged poorly?

    Love Wes Cravens New Nightmare. I saw this film twice in the movie theater when it was released in 94. I really thought it was a original way to bring Freddy back and the cast did a brilliant job with the material. Really love the look of Freddy and wish we could have seen him with the look in other films. The movie is so dark and brilliantly scary while getting away from the silliness that plagues parts 5 and 6 in the franchise. It really made Freddy scary again and raised the stakes for the characters. Not enough praise is given to this film.

  • @tyleranthony4614
    @tyleranthony4614 Год назад +2

    It wasn’t a movie about Freddy. I’ve thought so many times about this film. The idea, is that a primal evil took over Freddie’s likeness because it needed it to cause fear and death. I wonder what that primal evil is, but it was distracted by Freddie and got trapped in the story that was Nightmare on Elm Street because it was feeding off the fear of people in the real world. The story ended and it wasn’t distracted anymore and it wanted to get that fear back…so it snuck into our world in a different way.
    This film was a literary genius of Wes Craven!

    Oh, also loved how when Robert Englund as himself is playing Freddy he looks like he did in past movies, and when the real Freddy shows up he has this new creepier more intense look! The new look is very frightening and it makes it easy for you to see which is "acting" and which is "true evil". amazing

  • @phillewis1413
    @phillewis1413 7 лет назад +35

    Gotta say, I love this film. I love the way Wes Craven adds layer upon layer of creepiness and tension as the film progresses. It starts with a bad dream and four cracks appearing on the wall of Heathers home - things that could be dismissed as nothing out of the ordinary - but Freddy starts getting to Heather & Dylan more and more. Heather Langenkamp's acting was great, she should've been nominated for some kind of award, IMO. Some of the special effects were very good (Dylan and his mom crossing the freeway at night) but some sucked (Freddy extending his jaw and trying to swallow Dylan's head; Freddy turning into a demon and dying). This was a low budget film so I can't be too harsh. It gets 9/10 from me.

      @@CodyLeachYT Biggest problem (Titanic is the same if you look at the Rose and Jack meeting scene where she slips over her dress), You can physically see the green screen bleeding through. Heather was amazing in it, as was Robert, though, I guess remasters of both films (Titanic and Wes Cravens New Nightmare) will have sorted that out.

He is completely badass

    I love this movie. Still makes me kinda angry that it didn't do well at the box office back in 94. I saw it like 3 times in the theaters and love watching it whenever I can on DVD etc. Its my favorite of the Nightmare movies (3 and 1 are next in line) by a long shot - and its just a terrifically made masterclass of meta horror/thriller.
    My ONLY problem with the movie - is that its not really Freddy we get in the end. Its some demon Wes Craven was trying to keep in check the whole time masquerading as Freddy etc. I mean I still think this is Freddy, but he's not Freddy Freddy. Know what I mean? lol

  • @boomstickcritique902
    @boomstickcritique902 7 лет назад +17

    I all ways look at New Nightmare as its own film.For me flaw wise I think the film missed a chance to have Robert an Freddy face to face.I also felt Robert was a little under used.I also agree about the cgi.My other last complaint is I liked the build up so much when it came to the climax I was a little let down.I diddnt like the Freddy tongue.I also felt he did crack a little to many one liners.Other then that im a big fan of this movie.There was originally a scene scripted for Robert to have a Nightmare were Freddy came down as a Spider an Robert was trapped in a web.Also originally Wes Role was gonna be he showed up riding in the back of a van an his eye lids were cut off so he wouldnt sleep.An he was writing the script for the film we were watching.There was also another idea were on the highway they were gonna do a Freddy scene of him driving a claw mobile an trying to run Heather over.

    While I don't consider this to be the finally to the Nightmare on Elm Street that everyone was expecting, I do see it was the finally to Wes Craven and everyone who was involved with this series overall.
    Heather Langenkamp, John Saxton, and Robert England knocked it out of the park with this one. Also, great script Wes! R.I.P.

    I just finished watching the entire series (had only seen 1 and parts of 5 and 7 as a kid/ teenager... remembered practically nothing, only how the motorcycle kill freaked me out as a 12 year old and how I loved it) and it was quite the ride!
    Thank you for joining us on the journey with your work and walking us through it. After each movie I thought: "wonder what Cody has to say on it!" :)
    I wholeheartedly agree with this one. I had NO IDEA what I was walking into and I loved it! A great, unique, piece of art in the birth hour of popcultural postmodernism. The time was ripe and the zeitgeist was moving strongly into self awareness and self referenciality. Pulp Fiction, In the Mouth of Madness, same year.
    A great, intelligent horror film, a good Freddy film. Well put. My biggest, and really only complaint, not enough kills and carnage candy. Beyond that, story, atmosphere, acting, cinematography... fuckin A! Wes was a damn virtuoso! He is dearly missed in the horror film world!

    It's easy to see how this movie lead to the genius of Wes to create Scream shortly after,bit slower paced given Freddy not being in it as much for the first half of the movie still a great Nightmare movie along with Dream Warriors . A shame it wasn't well received when it came out for being ahead of it's time.

    i agree, this was a great concept and depiction of the Freddy characture bringing him back to his darker roots, loved it. could have done with out the the "use of the stollen PROP hand", the toungue stabbung scene (actuialy trying to be comical??? WRONG!) the expanding eating moulth, (and as you pointd out) the transforming exploding demond scene. Other than that loved it.

    In this film, Freddy is depicted much closer to what Wes Craven had originally intended for the character, much more menacing, much less comical, with an updated attire and appearance. However in 2015, before his death, he would admit he regretted changing his appearance and said: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Which was why he kept Ghostface's mask the same in every Scream movie.
    The events in this film revolve around Heather Langenkamp having a stalker. In real life, she did have a stalker, and Wes Craven got her permission to weave it into the story.
    The television show appearance was inspired by a real encounter. According to Wes Craven: "Robert Englund and I did an appearance together on public television in the San Francisco area. It was about whether this kind of movie was bad for children or not. There were parents in the audience and then kids. All the kids leaped to their feet and started chanting, 'Freddy! Freddy! Freddy!' I remember looking at the show host and the parents, and they all looked horrified."
    In reality, Heather Langenkamp's real husband David LeRoy Anderson is a special effects man, as he is in the film.
    The film has no opening titles to blur the illusion of whether it's a film, a documentary or something else altogether.
    In the ending credits, Freddy Krueger is credited as himself, even though Robert Englund reprises the role.
    The basic premise of the film, Freddy invading the real world and haunting the actors and crew responsible for the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" films, was originally intended to be used for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), inspired by the movie Return to Horror High (1987), but the idea was rejected by the studio at the time.
    Before making this movie, Wes Craven watched all of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" films. By the time he was finished, he claimed that he could not follow the storyline at all. He further regards the sequels to be weak compared to his original masterpiece.
    Robert Englund has said this is his favorite movie of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise along with Freddy's makeup being his favorite look.
    Wes Craven's daughter Jessica Craven appears as a nurse.
    David LeRoy Anderson, who is Heather Langenkamp's real-life husband, declined to play himself.
    Miko Hughes has kept the sewn up Rex dinosaur since filming. Wes Craven had an original copy without the scars.
    The "bio-engineered" hand and glove that Freddy uses in this film (as opposed to the glove used in the prior films) is actually derived from the artwork of the theatrical poster and video box covers of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
    Heather Langenkamp and her real-life special effects artist husband David LeRoy Anderson had a son named Daniel (born 1991), serving as the basis for Heather's family in the film. Tragically, Daniel died in 2018 at the age of 26 as a result of a brain tumor, the same condition that had already taken director Wes Craven's life in 2015.
    At three appearances, Heather Langenkamp has played the protagonist in the series more times than anyone else. However, none of her appearances have been consecutive.
    At one hour and 52 minutes, this is the longest film in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise.
    This is the first and, as of 2022, only movie in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise that doesn't have any opening credits.
    At around 35 minutes) When Heather Langenkamp vomited in the morgue, she was spitting up a combination of clam chowder and bean soup.
    The credits call Robert Englund's wife Patrice. In real life, his wife is Nancy Booth.
    The scene where Freddy tries to swallow Dylan whole, is similar to the scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), where the Freddy Snake tried to swallow Kristen whole.
    After Heather makes the decision to play Nancy, the version of the house she enters has a blue door, like it did in the original. All the other sequels showed the house with a red door.
    At around one hour and 40 minutes) In the final scene where Dylan stabs Freddy's tongue outside the oven, you can hear the famous Psycho (1960) shower scene music.
    Freddy's death in this film is similar to his original death when he was burned alive by a group of vigilante parents.
    This the only Nightmare on Elm Street movie where Freddy does not kill any teenagers. Every character killed in this movie is an adult.
    Body Count: Four
    In A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), the movie that Glenn watches on television to try to stay awake is The Evil Dead (1981). In this film, the movie that plays on television is A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

    Great review! I love the shit out of this movie!!! I loved the movie about a movie aspect & the back to the sinister creepy Freddy & I love Freddy's look in this one. The kid that played Dylan is great...I do t think it would have come across as well if it was anyone else playing him. Plus if course heathers back so that's another reason I love it & I just love Robert so having him as himself in it was cool. I also always loved how they had lots of the older cast in the funeral scene. It is a slower movie but my love for it & all its glory makes up for that for me.

    This movie to me was awesome. It gives you a unique spin on the characters and the franchise. I knew going in that it be different only because of the knowledge of dream warriors. Imo the way they explain the return of the characters made sense. The cgi of the Demon was bad but besides that I enjoyed the heck out of new nightmare

    For giving us the original nightmare on elm street alone, Wes craven is the greatest horror director of all time

  • @nealnoir
    @nealnoir 4 месяца назад +2

    I disagree when you said this is a slasher film. Its got kills in it, but that doesn’t automatically make it a slasher. It’s clearly taking the concept in a different direction and yes Freddy is a slasher icon but again, different interpretation of the character and concept. This is almost more a supernatural thriller/horror. So the lack of over the top inventive kill’s never bothered me.
    (Also love your reviews, I just found the channel and am backtracking through reviews.)

    I love this movie. I didn't really start to appreciate this until I was much older. As a kid you want to see Freddy and the nightmares which you really don't get that much in this one. As a adult It actually became one of my favs. The storyline is awesome and loved that they brought Heather back.

    Craven an a friend of his actually wrote a draft for Dream Master about Time travel in Dreams.But the studio passed for me even though Dream Master is my personal fav because of how fun it is.Part 1 is by far the best to me an the scariest.Followed by Dream Warriors then New Nightmare.New Nightmare an Dream Warriors are very close in quality for me.I think Dream Warriors edges it out just a little.But I will say I think New Nightmare in scarier then Dream Warriors.I like Dream warriors a little more but Freddy I dont find scary in that film.Were as I honestly think New Nightmare is pretty creepy.I also think New Nightmare is the most adult Nightmare film.Even if some body liked Freedys Dead I really dont see any way it could have been followed up with a super scary Nightmare sequel.Unless they did something totally different.I think this was the correct way to do the next film.

I'm surprised it doesn't get the recognition it deserves but I still think it's great, the fact that they brought heather back is awesome, yes Alice was good, but I always thought heather was the best final girl in this series, I feel like her and Robert England really own this franchise, so great review, pretty much agreed on everything 😋🖒🖒

    The claws ripping through the bed is the only thing that has ever scared me about Freddy and I kind of wished they'd focused on a kill with that. Imagine sleeping and having a bad dream and waking up with 4 deep ass holes through you. If you wake up.
