A fantastic original sequel Full Review |

3.5/4 |
This film gives us all the terror of the original without any of the sarcasm of the rest of the series. Wes Craven's return is impressive and rivals the original in terms of quality. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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

|
1/5 |
Poor execution of a great concept. Why doesn't Englund ever meet Freddy? Why aren't there more movie refernces? Has Langencamp'

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

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