Craven takes us into one of the most bizarro horror setups ever put to film, as he reveals, yeah, those other six films were all just movies, but now it's for real. He's not kidding.

A smart self-referential horror movie that plays the references for scares, not laughs.

Wes Craven's ultimate ego trip take on Freddy Krueger. Most interesting than good. Often dull.

An intricately constructed horror film, it not only takes you to hell and back, but thoroughly engages the mind as well as the emotions.
