New Nightmare (1994)

Rate: 1
Viewed: 10/06

10/06: All the more reason to think of Wes Craven among the worst directors in the annals of horror cinema, New Nightmare is a waste of time because all it does is to rehash the same stuff from his previous films.

He's just flogging a dead horse. In New Nightmare, a talk show host claimed that the last five A Nightmare on Elm Street films were popular. Well, let me tell you a fact: they all suck, having been long forgotten.

The worst part is the parade of annoying characters. It begins with the stupid moron boy who consistently fails to master the art of acting. If it's not him, it's the black nurse. If it's not her, it's Wes Craven. If not him, it's Robert Englund. If not him, it's Freddy. If not him, it's his horrible-looking makeup. If it's not that, it's Heather. If not her, it's...ah, you get the point.

All in all, given the running length of two hours, New Nightmare is a chore to sit through.
