One for the ‘Fred Head’ in your life, Never Sleep Again is an informative deep-dive into a franchise of nightmares. Go to Full Review

…Freddy fans will relish this, but even for the non-adherent, there’s plenty of juicy Elm Street gossip here to keep you awake at night… Go to Full Review

Never Sleep Again, though both funny and frightening, is ultimately a touching journey through the Elm Street mythology. Go to Full Review

For a four-hour film, it sure does fly by, and you certainly won't be snoozing during it. Go to Full Review

8/10
Never Sleep Again won't be winning any awards as the kind of documentary that changes and rearranges the genre. Instead, it is a wildly informative summary of a seminal horror icon - and the people who populated his dark, disturbing dreamscapes. Go to Full Review

Melissa L @Agent99 Sep 19 If you loved this franchise, it really is an absolutely must see! The documentary takes each film in the franchise, and the stars relate their experience filming the movies. There is also background on Wes Craven and Robert Englund. It's a long documentary, but, if you are a Freddy fan, it's well worth it. See more 12/13/2022 Uma aventura eletrizante pelo legado de um dos maiores vilões da história do cinema. Wes Craven criou uma história tão poderosa e criativa que, mesmo com o poder fora de suas mãos, ainda manteve a memória de Freddy Krueger viva por décadas. See more MARCO C @Marcovarrub 03/14/2021 yeah pretty much best documentary ever See more 10/29/2020 My god I did not think that this movie would be flipping 3 hours. I thought it was going to be maybe an hour and 30 something minutes talking about the legacy of all the nightmares not do a full fledge analysis of each movie. It's a little too much nightmare information for me. I'm not the biggest nightmare fan. I'm more of a Texas chainsaw guy or Friday but I still respect this franchise and love the first and new nightmare movies. This documentary peaked my interest into seeing Freddy vs Jason got me because I never saw the ads for it and this movie showed all the hype especially in Japan with the whole boxing thing between the two icons. I learned a lot about nightmare watching this and I can't wait to see what happens next in the nightmare on elm street franchise.
