Review

Craven wrote and directed this inventive movie within a dream within a movie that turns on the interesting premise that the power of the cult following of the previous six Nightmare films has served to bring Freddy Krueger to life in the real world. Langenkamp plays herself as a modern career actress whose son is being plagued by Freddy-style nightmares. When her husband and two friends are killed, she turns to fellow actors Englund and Saxon and then Craven for guidance. Scary nightmare sequences, a good script and an even more menacing Freddy are put to good use, but for all this Craven cannot restore the series' original luster, and the "is it a dream, movie or real" hijinx inspire a feeling of déjà vu rather than one of dread.

Freddy is back, only for real.

Ry-Pie Boy wrote on 08/19/2003:

When asked to right another sequel, Wes Craven realized that he wouldn't be able to continue the story. So he decided to create a whole new Freddy story. Part 7 sees Freddy crossing over out of the movies into the real lives of those who made the movies. Heather Langenkemp makes a triumphant return playing herself in this thrilling and awesome sequel. There are a lot of moments that are homages to the original without being rip-offs. Wes Craven is a genius once again.
