Summary: I'm awake now.
Review: The perfect novelization to the last (Sure it is) Nightmare on Elm Street movie. The book itself is an interesting read and the photos are worth a look. The entire mood of the movie is caught on the pages and if you love these movies like I do, you won't be able to put it down.

Summary: An Author's Best Nightmare Come True
Review: This novelization (of probably the best film in the Elm Street series) is an incredible work of fiction. The story of a film crew who discovers that their fictional creation, Freddy, is all to real is superbly acted out. Credit should go to Wes Craven for his script, but Bergantino made great additions to this piece, such as: excerpts from a (fictional?) journal in which David begins having bad dreams; clippings of (fictional?) news articles discussing bizzare deaths; and characterization which is so believable that one cannot doubt that David talked to the actual crew of the film. The book focusses more on the psycological effects on the characters than on blood and gore. Don't get me wrong, in the scenes where gore abounds -- boy, does it abound. But in the scenes where the characters are hit with the realization that what they have acted as and with is actually real and attacking them, one cannot help but be moved. In conclusion: read the book, see the film, and have pleasant dreams.
