Reviews for Wes Craven's New Nightmare
An intricately constructed horror film, it not only takes you to hell and back, but thoroughly engages the mind as well as the emotions.

Did everything 'Scream' tried to, but did it better!

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

If the film's execution lacks the stuff it struts in conception, it's still quite a concept, and a unique, cerebral horror film.

Merely another Freddy Krueger slice-and-dice yarn.

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.

It's twisted, disturbing, and more unique than any movie Wes Craven has ever made.

It's witty, smart, funny, entertaining, and you'll still like yourself in the morning for watching it.

[Craven] has brought back a sense of genuine horror to the series, in part by taking it to completely new ground, and in part by giving his actors a legitimate script to work with.

Top CriticWes Craven's ultimate ego trip take on Freddy Krueger. Most interesting than good. Often dull.
04/21/03
Decent return of a serious Freddy.
04/08/05
The self-reflexive nature of New Nightmare is a twist we haven't seen before, and it works well, up to a point.
