this is like a long drama from the Lifetime Channel


if you take the ending out, if you take the scene in the hospital out. And leave everything else.

This is just like one of those dramas that would play on the Lifetimechannel.

Tormented mom is having nightmares that are affecting her son, Tormented son is acting really weird and injuring himself in his dreams

I have no idea how can anyone say this is the best after 1,you dont fully see freddy until the last 25 minutes or so.
Most of the movie the mom is running from earthquakes and weird phone calls. We are not even shown the nightmares the boy is having with Freddy.....

we didn't even get to see that.

It would have been one thing if we were shown the nightmares the boy was having, at least we could have seen what was scaring him. But Up until the Babysitter kill, This was exactl like a drama about a mom trying to help her son.

I really cannot believe how much people say this is the best nightmare... This is as much a Nightmare movie as Halloween 3 is a Halloween movie... (Movies in NAME only)

and then when we finally see freddy.... the movie is over. lol why

The idea for the movie was great. I was really interested in the first 15 minutes. But then I started to realize this movie was going nowhere as far as Freddy goes

The Audience knows who Freddy is, Everyone has seen him in six movies.
The Characters inside the movie know who he is as well....There was absolutely no reason to hide Freddy until the very end. he should have appeared after the boy starts freaking out.

If they wanted to expose the underbelly of Hollywood they could have touched on who Tuesday Knight blew to get a cameo

Agreed, Although Robert Shaye's acting saves it from mediocrity
