I started watching it yesterday but didn't have time to finish it until today.

This is acually a decent movie. But the magic from both franchises are kinda gone. Feels more like any other generic (nu)horror movie from the early 00s. The nightmarish fever dreams feels very restrained. Freddy looks much better though compared to New Nightmare, and there's a good amount of blood and gore.

Spineshank, Ill Niño and Killswitch Engage is a big plus as well.

Just above mediocre. Some good scenes, the atmosphere is nice, Gosling and Thornton's performances are great as usual. Falls short on the plot.

I went into Wes Craven's New Nightmare with high hopes after seeing the ratings and reviews, but I ended up a bit underwhelmed. The death scenes lacked the creativity that typically sets the franchise apart. The dream sequences - the heart of this franchise - felt bland and uninspired. While they toned down Robert Englund’s humor (a welcome change after The Final Nightmare), his performance still felt somewhat flat and unengaged. And why does he look like bacon? That said, it’s still definitely a watchable film and a respectable attempt to revive the series.
