In Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone's character Catherine Tremell describes how writing teaches you to lie, She says when you make stuff up it has to be believable, a psychological concept in literature referred to as suspension of disbelief according to Tremell.... Full review
Skip all the sequels, and watch this after the first

'A Nightmare on Elm Street' was a scary, gory 80s horror movie. Its sequels were awful. Only two of them were watchable, the third and forth. But still, they never even came close to the original. This is when that... Full review
Amazingly original and creepy horror film.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare features Heather Lengankamp, who played Nancy in the first and third films, living a normal life with her husband and son. Lately, strange things have been happening, and her son isn't acting like himself. She is... Full review
I've said it before, and I will say it again: Heather Langenkamp is the Princess of Horror, and once again she proves why. Whereas other horror heroines are blonde, sometimes ditsy, and needing frequent help, Langenkamp (either as herself or... Full review
The best thing about "New Nightmare" is it's plot because it's a 180ª change in the Nightmare series. Putting Freddy Krueger on the real world was an idea that most Horror fans accepted because the genre seemed to be dead... Full review

I was expecting very little in the way of this sequel. The others grew tired and lifeless, with on again, off again, decent performances turned in by Robert Englund as Freddy, and some decent, not so decent script writing. Frankly,... Full review

Genuinely interesting - if not completely scary - movie blends fiction and reality as several people associated with the "Nightmare" franchise play themselves, in a story in which actress Heather Langenkamp is being plagued by nightmares about the Freddy Krueger... Full review
Makes up for the bad sequels

The First Nightmare on Elm Street was scary and original. It had the great idea of a killer killing people in their dreams. All of its sequels (except for part 2, which went in a horrible direction) just built on... Full review
Not totally bad, but not satisfying either

Superunknovvn - imdb.com
"New Nightmare" tries so hard to be original but fails in the end. There's not enough suspense, not enough gore and the ending is ridiculous. Of course, this one is better than parts 2,4,5 and 6 but still it's not... Full review
Freddy's back and better than ever

Freddy Krueger began as a very scary character who scared the hell out of everyone. As the movies went on, Freddy lost his edge and looked liked a bad stand up comic with horrible one liners.Freddy seemed dead with the... Full review

Wes Craven's New Nightmare didn't break any barriers and certainly didn't start any trends, but for anyone who has enjoyed film history's most inventive horror series, the reward is in the viewing. With small tips-of-the-hat to the original film (including a ceiling-thrown hospital scene), the movie transcends traditional sequel labels and stands on even footing with the original film. ...

New Nightmare is perfect for film fans who are in the know. Without a shadow of a doubt, New Nightmare has the smartest, coolest script since the original. New Nightmare doesn't feature any nudity, but Heather Langenkamp has nice blue eyes. ... Full Review

Wes Craven also likes the drama genre a lot.....For those of you who didn't already know, New Nightmare is part 7 of the Nightmare on Elmstreet series.....New Nightmare is not just a horror film, it is a successful blend of drama with horror....This, however, doesn't mean the movie is just going to be boring until that ending.....There, I tried to write it down as well as I could.... ...

Any copycat features spawned by this movie will hopefully take a cue from Wes Craven's New Nightmare and favor quality of scares over quantity of blood. Wes Craven's New Nightmare focuses on the lives of some of the actors who appeared in the 1984 original (Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, and John Saxon, all of whom play themselves). ...
