Just before Wes Craven revamped horror by directing the wonderful SCREAM, he experimented with the world of meta filmmaking with his rewarding sequel entry, NEW NIGHTMARE.
Rounding up the original cast of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET to play themselves, Craven brings us a world close to the real one where actress Heather Langenkamp, 10 years after starring in the original ELM STREET film, is raising a family in Hollywood when she runs into her old co-star Robert Englund. Both have been plagued with nightmares of Freddy Kreuger coinciding with a series of earthquakes around Los Angeles. When director Wes Craven contacts them about the possibility of making a new NIGHTMARE film, things take a turn for the sinister as it becomes evident that the actions of killing off a character have a bigger effect on the power of storytelling to do its own terrifying reinvention.
