That series of shots after the “why are you calling me John?” line is some of my favorite in cinema, on par with the Jurassic Park dinosaur reveal shots. When it shows Heather being scared and confused, then cuts to show John fully in his outfit as her dad, then eventually shows her in Nancy’s PJ’s, then the spin shot to reveal the house…gives me chills every time. It’s just done so fucking well. ♥️
I never know how I feel about this movie. I liked it when I first saw it as a teen but it fell off so much when I watched it decades later. It’s sort of a precursor to Scream with all the meta storyline. It might be because the Scream franchise pounded this type of story into the ground with every sequel, that I felt different towards New Nightmare. Great reaction as always SG. You always make these second hand viewings better.
I think I like the movie more now since Scream was introduced to us. Prior to that, I don't think I understood the idea of Meta horror. Wes was really an innovator for the horror genre
This is tied for pt 3 with being my favorite of the franchise. I liked the darker Freddy and it was cool to see Heather, again. Went to see this in the theaters when I was a kid, but half the theater didn't like it, lol. And Sista Gurl, let 'em know... set them expectations. "This here my house... so you can go on head & carry ya ass if you don't like how shit is run here. Thank ya." lol
I feel like Wes was ahead of his time with the metacinema. I don't remember being a huge fan of it when I first watched it but after watching it a few more times, I liked it much more! I would have to agree that it is the best sequel after Dream Warriors lol I had to put that disclaimer in there...I always have someone in the comments mad that the whole movie isn't being shown. It is so annoying lol
@@SistaGurlonFilms Like you finna get a copyright strike for they asses. If their broke asses can't afford to rent, then find a site, that's not on you, lol. Yeah, I agree with Wes being ahead of his time. And I appreciated him for giving Black audiences genuinely good, fun films with some budget in People Under the Stairs and Vampire in Brooklyn.
Now that you've reacted to this masterpiece, along with Queen Alanda and EOM, my Holy Trifecta of Awesomeness is completed! Thank you, Gurl! And - looks around - I'm not one for that lil boy's acting, either. I mean, he tried, but nope. And RIP to Julie, a real one who went out punching bitches. I hope I get to do the same.
Say it with pride! That little boy's acting was terrible! I got your back! 😂😂 And Julie would have seen Freddie, just would have held her own for a while!
I’m still mad at that botched ending of the first film, lol. It was darn near a horror Home Alone and it was soooo good. Studios should’ve just let Wes cook. But we prolly wouldn’t have gotten any more sequels. I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing doe.
It did feel like a horror Home Alone, now that you mention it! The ending was not too bad for me because it kind of unique but when I first watched this years ago, I did not get it lol
Hey Sista, you so silly when you do the FRIGHT NIGHT FRIDAY opening lmao 😂😂. I like both the 1984 original & this one too, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994)!!! This is when Freddy used to be so terrifying & scarier in my opinion!! Fun fact the boy, Dylan, was the same actor who played Gage the creepy boy from Stephen King’s Pet Semetary (1989)!! Can you react to The Omen (1976) on fright night friday as well, it’s so creepy! Have a peaceful weekend ❤
Now, that little boy was adorable in Pet Semetary, so he gets a pass in that movie lol I can definitely react to The Omen. I wanted to watch the new one that just came out, so this would be a good watch for the channel
@@SistaGurlonFilms good choice!! I saw the new one at the theaters, The First Omen (2024), it was confusing & creepy but it was alright!! It’s the prequel leading to the classic one!
So, I'm hesitant to watch that franchise because of stupid copyright. I already had a video blocked and a strike threatened with one of those movies. I may try again with Evil Dead 2. I do have an Evil Dead reaction on the channel though
God I love this movie so much. Heather is a goddess, I loved the story, amazing ending to the franchise - real love letter for the fans. Also - I know a lot of people aren't a fan of him - but I find the Freddy-demon in this movie so much scarier than "our" Freddy - and it was a great way of differentiating between the two. I basically never open my closet to this day without a quick mental plan of what in the room I can smash against his head if he pops out.
Have you ever tried watching the "Ash vs. Evil Dead" tv series? It's a lot of fun and I think some fans even rate it higher than the Evil Dead movies! But I'd love to see an "Army of Darkness" reaction too! 😁
@@willdallas53 the old school movies will always have a special place in my heart because I grew up with them... but I can certainly understand people favouring the series!
I have not watched the TV series. I have heard good things about it. I have a little beef with the Evil Dead franchise. I almost received a copyright strike with one of their videos, so I don't know if I will do a rection to any of those movies again. I would like to but my video being blocked put a bad taste in my mouth with their copyright holder
Love this movie and loved your reaction! I lol’ed so hard at the Johnny Depp shade and totally agree with you about Nancy/Heather…she is THEE Final Girl! Also, justice for Julie! She was a real one and didn’t deserve to go out so brutally, even though it was a MOMENT.
I feel like Johnny Depp had a questionable reputation around this time, that's the only reason I thought of him 😂😂 Julie was done so dirty! I feel like if she was able to see Freddy she would have given him a run for his money!!
I never knew he said that too. Not saying that Child murderer is better, but...hey. I was curious so her husband did die? Once again another enjoyable review.
This film is my least favorite of the franchise and I say that as someone who acknowledges a lot of these films are garbage. I’ve still watched every other film 10 times. I’ve seen this one once. No one in this movie can act. I’ve never liked heather as an actress and they somehow went out and hired a kid who would make her look like a 37 time Oscar winner.
Miko Hughes (Dillon) played that character just the way the people that picked him, the director, and the producers wanted him to. This is a Hollywood backed movie, you as a n actor just can't do what you want. That kid was not a Will Smith, Tom Cruise, or Leonardo DiCaprio. My understanding of the process is likely wrong, but that is my opinion.
No he didn’t. I guarantee they didn’t say I want you to play this character as the worst actor that’s ever acted in anything ever. He has no control over the sound of his voice or the flow of his lines. No one is directing him to suck.

Yes!!! And then add to that Freddy slowly entering into our world at the same time!!! Wes knew what he was doing with this one!
I feel like Heather Lankencamp's face card never declined in the 80's -90's. Love this installment it was a good way to end the Freddy universe.
Yes! She has always been so pretty and she is aging very well!

i'm a fan of horror but i never got into this franchise
I always assume everyone loves this franchise as much as me lol
Same. Never got into the Elm Street movies. Freddy is a lame character and he's a pedo.
@@b.t.40yrs_agoFreddy isn’t a pedo in the original series.
hilarious watching wes craven's new nightmare [1994] film !!!!
This was a good way to end the franchise.
Love your disclaimer 😁
I watched this last year during spooky season.
👍🏿👍🏿
Yeah, Bobby answer your 🤬 phone, it's probably Jim Carrey's agent wondering about the offer for him to do The Mask 2 at New Line.

Would uwatch evil dead franchise? U already seen it

I agree! Especially his Freddy claws having those bones and tendons...very unsettling!
Sistah Gurl, would you consider doing a Fright Night on the movie "Ghost" ? For my 40th birthday, pretty please lol!
I don't know if I'll get to it for your birthday but I can absolutely do a reaction! And Happy Birthday!! 🎉🎂🎉🎂🎉🎂
@@SistaGurlonFilms You're do sweet to us!
Great review. You had me tickled as always. It was the inappropriate laughter for me 😆😂. Formally lthomas
😂😂😂 I don't know if it's a nervous response, but horror movies really do crack me up sometimes
@@SistaGurlonFilms same here
🎉
Just a fyi, Lin Shaye is the sister of Robert "Bob" Shaye.
The bartender in Freddy's Revenge?! Oh wow!!!! I didn't know that!
@SistaGurlonFilms he is also the founder of new line cinema and has appeared in many of the nightmare films.
Have you ever tried watching the "Ash vs. Evil Dead" tv series? It's a lot of fun and I think some fans even rate it higher than the Evil Dead movies! But I'd love to see an "Army of Darkness" reaction too! 😁
100%. The tv series is infinitely better than the og evil dead movies.

The story is pretty interesting with somewhat of the meta stuff in the movie and I believe that it's Wes's best work, in my opinion. 🙂
The creativity in this script is top tier! Wes thought outside the box and gave us a great final film for the franchise
@@SistaGurlonFilms 💯 right
Love horror movies but I was never a fan of this franchise 🤷🏾♂️
What?!!! Elm Street is my fave!
9:23
I bet you that Gen Z is going to make that trend again. Watch. 😉
That is one trend they can leave in the past lol Those flannels were everywhere!
@@SistaGurlonFilms Yep, and knowing how corded phones were brought back thanks to Gen Z, they could bring it back but let's hope not. 😆
Love this movie and loved your reaction! I lol’ed so hard at the Johnny Depp shade and totally agree with you about Nancy/Heather…she is THEE Final Girl! Also, justice for Julie! She was a real one and didn’t deserve to go out so brutally, even though it was a MOMENT.

"Welcome to primetime, B&*%!" That was the best ab-lib in the history of cinema. Freddy was foul for that! lol!!!!
It is unmatched!!! lol
I never knew he said that too. Not saying that Child murderer is better, but...hey. I was curious so her husband did die? Once again another enjoyable review.
I was wondering the same thing about the husband but I am guessing, he did die which sucks! Thank you for watching!
Love it 😂❤

@@SistaGurlonFilms Wes directed him in a way that you didn't like, I hear you loud and clear. He should have done better. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@geedee3 "Now, I want to play with you!"
My friend wore flannel then I started to wear . It’s comfortable
They were very comfortable!
Watch pet cemetery the real one from’89
I was thinking about doing that movie next! I want to watch Phantasm 4 and Bride of Chuck first but Pet Sementary will happen very soon
