Wes Craven's New Nightmare

[Sam The Egg]

"There were only seven concepts to begin with "
what?

This theory, it's Japanese I think, that there are seven basic plots and any story or movie or play or anything will fall into one of those seven categories

[Freddy Krueger.]

Wes Craven's New Nightmare rocked big time! I myself liked the fact that they made it seem as if Freddy was really real, you know? Because they should Freddy as just a movie, know what I mean? It's hard to explain. . .

New Nightmare does the 'movie within a movie' thing better than any other film i've seen, however it does get tiresome in parts and freddy looks shit.

I thought it was pretty amusing how in the credits freddy krueger is listed as being played by 'himself'. :)

It was Robert playing Freddy. BGut the thing about that movie is that it is NOT Freddy. Not Really. Its a demon assuming the guise of freddy because it had been trapped in the nightmare movies for soooooo long, and had come to like that guise. The makers of new nightmare also wanted "Freddy" to be darker and more menacing than the others for that reason. Wes wanted to take freddy back to his darker roots and away from the Henny Youngman type One-liner-spewer that he had beome in the later films.

i didn't like it. technically they were making this movie out to be nightmare part 2. being that in the movie, parts 2-6 never existed.

[Sam The Egg]

parts 2-6 never existed.

That would be nice
