So we reach the final installment of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
What a mind meltingly awful way to go out too!!Now I remember back in the mists of time, my newly teenaged mind enjoyed this mostly because I was in love with Maggie and it was in 3D!! (or Freddy-Vision as they called it). By the time we rented the video it had only 1 pair of glasses still inside the case.
Obviously this meant my brother missed out and I wore them.
Then on the subsequent 3 rewatches before we returned it to the shop...he still missed out as I wore them again. Sucks to be the youngest!!These days it is in 2D and you remember…

When the kid fell down the hill at the very beginning, I had high hopes for this film. It was like that scene from HOT ROD but completely unaware of how ridiculous it looked. I laughed until I cried. And then the rest of the movie happened and I cried some more. Out of anger. And embarrassment. And sadness. And wut.

I take back everything I've ever said about Part 2: Freddy's Revenge being the worst of this series. Why? Oh I don't know. Maybe it's because I just watched Freddy Kruger play video games for twenty minutes.
What the frig was this?! Easily the worst movie I've seen in quite sometime. Awful acting, storyline, effects. I could go on, but I'd rather forget all about it. :(

i get that is far, FAR from being a not even being a good Elm Street movie but anything even resembling a decent film, but i was having a riot watching it again. the opening scene with the kid rolling down the never ending hill KILLED ME. even though this came out in just 91, it may the one the most 90s teen angsty movies ever. Baby doll dresses on a full grown woman! Horrible Goo Goo Dolls songs! the 3D "Freddy Vision" looks like total shit but it's so stupid awesome. the whole thing has that magical sequel attitude of "oh well, fuck it, lets make another one real fast" that kills beloved franchises dead. Freddy did come back 2 more times after this bad boy but for me this stands as a silly ass good time.

Squanders a good leading lady and a batshittedly apocalyptic premise (it's ten years in the future and Freddy has killed or driven insane the whole town!) on a movie that out-sillies part 4. You might not think that is possible, but there's a scene here where he kills one of his victims by putting him in a 1991-looking video game where a 1991 computer Freddy whips him with a towel - while the victim's sleeping body bounces around the house with "Boing! Boing! Boing!" sound effects - and Freddy, playing the video game, says "Good graphics!" This isn't where the Nightmare On Elm Street series went wrong; it is simply where it went.
Despite a few good-looking effects, this mostly…

Most people seem to hate Freddy's Dead, but I enjoy it. This was the first Nightmare movie I saw in full and also the one I watched the most during my early teens. I know some of the stuff is silly but I can't help but like it.

What a disappointing end to the original series.

Much like Part 5, the tone of this is all messed up. There are dark things in this: a dystopian almost post-apocalyptic Springwood where Freddy has killed every child and driven the rest of the town insane, a half-way home with troubled, abused, drug-addicted children, etc. And there's a real dark, gritty look to a lot of it. But, Freddy is more cartoony and goofy than ever! It makes no sense!
I love the idea that Freddy completely ruins Springwood, but it's conveyed pretty terribly by the director. The story takes place in two different cities and the non-Springwood looks and feels even more rundown than Springwood, which sort of ruins the idea that Springwood has been decimated. Then, when…
