Wes Craven’s New Nightmare is a groundbreaking 1994 American meta-supernatural slasher film that revived the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise by breaking the fourth wall. Written and directed by series creator Wes Craven, the film is not a sequel in the traditional sense, but instead proposes that Freddy Krueger is an ancient, supernatural entity that was contained by the Nightmare films—and has now been set free into the real world because the movie series has ended.
