Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) Synopsis:

Following the sixth and final installment in the Nightmare on Elm Street series, the evil entity that took the shape of Freddy Krueger is released into the physical world, prompting actress Heather Langenkamp, director Wes Craven and New Line Cinema founder Bob Shaye to perform the heroics necessary to keep Freddy from becoming real in this self-referential thriller.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) Review:

"The first one was good but the rest sucked" - so said Drew Barrymore in Scream. This is the seventh part of the Nightmare on Elm Street series and it needed a great idea to stop it being as crappy as the other Nightmare sequels, and so Wes Craven (now one of my favourite directors) decided to do it himself. He came up with the idea of having Freddy (Robert Englund) haunt the dreams of the actors that appeared in the first one (also directed by Craven) and it makes for an original and good film.

The film centres around Heather Langenkamp and her son who are dreaming the plot of the upcoming film as it is being written and all sorts of shenanigens occur as Freddy starts killing people as they dream it.

Although the ending was a bit like a horror version of the Labyrinth me and my brother thought it was a good film that would probably be made better if you have seen any of the previous films. It's funnier that way!
