6/10.Possibly an interesting idea that fell flat somewhere along the way.I could sense the obvious bitterness in Wes Craven's direction here as well as Heather Langekamp's performance.Sure it may stink if you're known for only one role as an actor or movie as a director but so what?It's better people remember you for one role/movie/show than to forget you.Robert Englund and John Saxon were positive here as they seemed gracious about being there since the movies made them popular.The idea of a demon taking Freddy's form was interesting but the story seemed to drag it down.If anything, Wes Craven should be remembered as an iconic horror director who sadly turned bitter years later but his genius shouldn't be forgotten.Heather Langenkamp here still remained the same, wooden with little to no expression or range.It's an OK movie.

Visible crew/equipment: When Julie says "It's probably just your nerves" then Heather replies "Nerves?!", above Heather's head you see a boom mic dip down into view. (00:12:25)

Trivia: In the hospital Heather is told that she can not be in a certain area without a pass; she replies "Screw your pass." The very same line was spoken, by her character Nancy in Nightmare on Elm Street 1, to a hall monitor in her dream.

More trivia for Wes Craven's New Nightmare

Question: What is the role of Robert Englund in this movie? Is he and Freddy Krueger supposed to be the same (as his picture and disappearance indicate) or two different characters (as the credits indicate)?

Answer: In the beginning he is just Robert Englund, but as the film goes on, the characters start becoming who they were in Nightmare 1, so he begins to become Freddy, and goes away so he doesn't harm anyone. The demon that looks like Freddy isn't Freddy, just a demon who takes the shape of the character Freddy.
