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 character. She gradually learns that the "Freddy Krueger" character has taken on a life of "his" own and is determined to punish the makers of the "Nightmare" series for killing him off in Part Six.
I'll say this for what writer / director Wes Craven has done - this is ambitious work that could legitimately claim to be more intelligent than standard slasher cinema. Like I said, I didn't find to be particularly scary (at least not for my tastes), but this doesn't rely on any standard slasher formula, and for once the characters aren't certifiable morons. The most amusing thing about the movie is watching various actors and executives play themselves, or at least versions of themselves. Miko Hughes, who plays Langenkamp's fictional son Dylan, is cute and a tolerable young actor - I've seen worse child actors in my time.
Best of all, "Freddy" has become a genuinely frightening bogeyman again instead of the joke he had become by Part Six.
