Wes Craven's New Nightmare review

       "The first one was good but the rest sucked" - so said Drew Barrymore in
     Scream. This is the seventh part of the Nightmare on Elm Street series and it needed
     a great idea to stop it being as crappy as the other Nightmare sequels, and
     so Wes Craven (now one of my favourite directors) decided to do it himself. He
     came up with the idea of having Freddy (Robert Englund) haunt the dreams of
     the actors that appeared in the first one (also directed by Craven) and it makes
     for an original and good film.
         The film centres around Heather Langenkamp and her son who are dreaming
     the plot of the upcoming film as it is being written and all sorts of shenanigens
     occur as Freddy starts killing people as they dream it.
         Although the ending was a bit like a horror version of the Labyrinth me and
     my brother thought it was a good film that would probably be made better if you
     have seen any of the previous films. It's funnier that way!
