New Nightmare

Nová noční můra
Natáčení nového dílu Noční můry v Elm Street se odehrává v zákulisí filmu, ale i na place. Nechybí tu herečka Heather, která před lety vytvořila v prvním díle celé série hlavní roli dívky Nancy a později si zahrála i v třetím dílu odbornici na sny. Po skončení natáčení záběrů se nečekaně začne hýbat Freddyho rukavice, dva techniky zabije a Chase (manžela Nancy) řízne do ruky…
What New Nightmare lacks from previous installments, it makes up for with that which they lacked. It takes itself seriously enough to the point where Freddy isn't this clown he had been turned into. The props look like props because they're supposed to. This is a movie about making a movie that takes on a life of its own. It has way less kills, but it is more believable, regardless of the meta aspect of it all. The suspense, the expectation, carries it all the way home, making it all the scarier. They don't overdo the violent bits, so when it is there, it adds genuine shock value.
That said, New Nightmare is probably the best in the franchise, in my humble opinion, even better than A Nightmare on Elm Street. It's like one builds on the other, and the formula is finally right.
