    Awesome !

    This feels just like a genuine continuation of the OG franchise, not like a fan film. We enjoyed it. And oh my God... Miko Hughes is so handsome... he's my crush. And his acting/performance is amazing. Dave McRae is so good as Freddy. The acting and the mannerism is so on point. Welcome back Freddy!! And the camera work is very good. Freddy's Makeup is topnotch. For a small budget fan film, the production value looks high and awesome. Kudos to the cast and crew. There handwork can clearly be seen in every frame.

    I wish this was a full feature-length film. Anyone who is a fan of the Elm Street films should definitely watch this. We need more.

    Freddy's Back!

    Dylan's New Nightmare takes place 25 years after the events of Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Freddy has come come back to haunt the real world, and Dylan must face the nightmares of his past.

    Cecil Laird takes over the director's chair for this unofficial sequel, but don't worry... he does a great job respecting what Wes Craven created, so the tone of the original films are somewhat there, but there is a little bit change.

    Dave McRae really brought out some characteristics of Freddy from the previous Elm Street films. It was clear that he studied the mannerisms because I was convinced it was Robert Englund under that makeup.

    Miko Hughes is the biggest highlight for me. He did a terrific job playing a traumatized adult version of Dylan's Porter. I really wish we got more scenes with him facing Freddy.

    Overall, Dylan's New Nightmare is a definite must see for anyone who is a fan of the Elm Street films.

    Couldn't ask for more from a fan-made short film

    A fan-made short film with effects, ideas, make-up and acting (at least from the lead) that could stand up against big screen offerings.

    With a story that plays off of cannon characters and creative, horrific nightmare scenes- my only complaint is that it was too short. It definitely leaves the audience wanting more.

    I could definitely see this as the first half-hour of a legitimate Hollywood film. Kudos to the creators, they must've worked their butts-off to get that kind of production value from a fan-made short film budget.

    While not all of the acting is top-notch, the lead is fantastic. To get that kind of performance into a horror short is nothing short of amazing.

    Freddy fan

    This needs to be full length. It definitely has potential to start a whole new story line. I've watched this 3 times already. And I love how Nico is playing Dylan again. The actor who plays Freddy is nearly spot on with his laugh, the face aesthetics can be better but you only can do what you can do with the budget you have. I also loved how they used Tuesday Knight's Nightmare. The cliffs at the end just makes me want more. Heather Langenkamp revising her role as herself even as a cameo here and there would boost this even more. We need a continuation of Freddy and not a remake like the 2010 sorry excuse of a movie.
