It is a standalone sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989) and the sixth film in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. The film follows Freddy Krueger as he manipulates a teenager with amnesia to escape Springwood and find new victims. This was New Line Cinema's first 3D film release.
The film stars Lisa Zane, Yaphet Kotto, Breckin Meyer, Shon Greenblatt, Ricky Dean Logan, Lezlie Deane, Tobe Sexton, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. Additionally, several well-known actors make cameo appearances, including: Johnny Depp (whose screen debut was in the original film), Roseanne Barr, Tom Arnold, and Alice Cooper.
