New Nightmare still stands up as one of the most unique and creative horror sequels of the past 30 years. It puts the cast and crew of the Nightmare series back into the real world where the evil that inspired Freddy has been unleashed since they stopped making Nightmare movies. Wonderful performances and a smart script by Wes Craven.
It's hard to believe this lean, mean scare machine got away with a PG rating. It's scarier than any R rated horror film I can think of and more effective due to the emphasis on developing the family unit being put in jeopardy. The effects work still hold up incredibly well.
Sleazy and gritty and full of charming characterizations and buckets of gore, X hits the spot between modern horror and the more free horror of yesteryear, coming across more like a lost regional horror film from the 70's or 80's than something new. It's a familiar story we've all seen in some form or fashion, but it's told well.
