When he awakens each morning, he adds the last night’s findings to his growing script. But when Craven’s night visions start to actually hap pen, Craven spills the beans to Lan- g e n k a m p . There is some thing very-evil attempting to enter their world, and it has decided to make its en trance under the guise of Freddy Krueger. The best performance in the film is given by Englund, playing two totally opposite ends of the spectrum as him self, the modest actor who has enjoyed the cult following of the series, and as the horrific Freddy, who gives off waves of dark evil each time the camera points his way. Langenkamp is also very good, especially during her con frontations with Freddy. She resembles Linda Hamilton’s character from the “Termina tor” films, appearing as a beau tiful, innocent woman whose will to survive pushes its way to the surface when her loved ones are threatened. In total, the movie is every- Robert Englund plays himself and Freddy Krueger in “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.” thing a good horror film should be, combining suspenseful se quences with shocking mo ments to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Even better, there is a won derful plot twist in the fast- paced, high-octane ending that combines the landscape of the original film with the originali ty of the current release. The only thing to worry about from this great film is that if New Line Cinema starts pulling in the bucks, they may ruin the film’s good name with another slew of pointless sequels. Hopefully, we won’t have to sit through a “Newer Night mare” or “Latest Nightmare” any time in the near future. 4.0 and Go Located at 700 E.
