Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 9/10 by Desson ThomsonA great movie, easily the most brilliant of the “Nightmare on Elm Street” series. It’s witty, smart, funny, entertaining, and you’ll still like yourself in the morning for watching it.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonVisually, the movie is a knockout. Craven-who, along with George Romero and David Cronenberg, was one of the real masters of post-'60s low-budget horror-never made a scarier picture than the original "Nightmare." But he's probably never made a better one than this-one that was more fun to watch or had a more satisfying conclusion, that slammed the door on hell with such panache.
Variety - 9/10 by Joe LeydonAn ingeniously conceived and devilishly clever opus.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrThe self-reflexive nature of New Nightmare is a twist we haven't seen before, and it works well, up to a point.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliThe cinematic horror genre, like the science fiction one, has been badly hamstrung by poor films, and several of the Nightmare on Elm Street entries have been at the forefront of the decline. Therefore, it's somewhat ironic that one of the most intelligent and creative efforts to come along in a while bears the Nightmare theme, title, and signature villain.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Peter RainerI haven't been exactly a fan of the "Nightmare" series, but I found this movie, with its unsettling questions about the effect of horror on those who create it, strangely intriguing.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Richard HarringtonHappily, Craven knows just how to play off expectations and twist things past predictability.
Empire - 8/10 by Kim NewmanGenre thrills with a big dose of originality.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Barry JohnsonIts intentions seem fairly modest, and so are its achievements. It's a modestly enjoyable diversion.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by William ArnoldIt's a bit of a throwback and a solid family film and, at the time, represented a well-intentioned leap of faith of the sort that studios rarely take.
