Continuity mistake: When Freddy is dragging Dylan's babysitter up the wall, you see that no blood goes onto the x-rays on the wall. But in the next shot, you see blood rubbed up the top of the x-ray screen. (01:17:55)

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.

Robert Englund: I think they'd like to see us together again.
Heather Lagenkamp: In what? A romantic-comedy?
Robert Englund: Just because it's a love story doesn't mean it can't have a decapitation or two.
Trivia: Wes Craven wanted to bring Johnny Depp in for a cameo as himself, as Depp had co-starred in the original "Nightmare on Elm Street", and this film featured cameos by various alum of the franchise. However, Craven decided not to ask, believing that Johnny Depp would not be interested in being in another Elm Street movie. Johnny Depp later stated that if Wes Craven had asked him he would have said yes.
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.
