New Nightmare
New Nightmare
It's nearing the 10th Anniversary of the film 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and one of the stars, Heather Langenkamp, is being scared by a voice on a phone, sounding very similar to the film's villain, Freddy Krueger. When Heather realizes that Freddy has now entered the real world, the only way to defeat him is to become Nancy Thompson once again.

I have a hate/love relationship with New Nightmare. Through my teens and twenties I always found it very boring. I wasn't happy with Freddie's new look and the lack of his presence and very low kill count always had me tune out on re-watches (my high consumption of THC in those years probably didn't help either). Once I hit my thirties (I quit smoking weed), and now clear headed I found with every new viewing my appreciation and respect for what Wes pulled off grew exponentially. The meta plot and new Freddy just clicked. Love all the set pieces, call backs and performances. It's safe to say there's no more tuning out when this gem is on.
