Synopsis

Before director Wes Craven came back big time with Scream, he took a stab at the intellectual horror film, adding this semi-documentary-style sequel to the Nightmare on Elm Street series. The terrorised teenager from the original, Heather Langenkamp, plays herself, an actress troubled by (a real?) Freddy Krueger. In addition to the healthy dose of shocks, there's a look behind the scenes of the horror film, and, although the project occasionally reeks of self-indulgence, you have to admire Craven (who also appears as himself) for trying something new rather than just cashing in on the franchise.
