95. Wes Craven's New Nightmare


Listen Later

Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a little odd. It plays with this whole idea of a meta slasher before it really existed. Wes himself would fix that a few years later. Were does that leave us with this film in the context of Freddy Kruger. Well its both brilliant yet stunted. This style of horror hasn't been done yet, but this certainly was a solid first outing. This film takes a VERY different approach to the titular villain by bringing him into the real world. Does that work? Is it strange to see decent acting in a Nightmare film? Is it essential?!
