The 6th film in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series was the first to publicly claim to be, "The Final Nightmare". However the following films proved, in horror franchise tradition, that to be false. That aside, this edition plays like a remixed version of "Dream Warriors" with the troubled teens, "Dream Master" with the dream mythology, and "Dream Child" with a paternal Freddy. All three thrown in a blender to make an Elm Street smoothie that goes down surprisingly well, relatively speaking.

It's never the final nightmare.

Fine, whatever. Ten years of teenagers dying mysteriously and people turning a blind eye is some trail of tears nonsense thinktank piece just waiting to be slapped together.

Turn it off after 30 minutes and you'll have watched a hilarious Elm St parody. ...There's no joke about the rest of the movie here. Just turn it off. "But I'll miss Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp..." You'll miss nothing. Turn it off.

When I put in my DVD, I forgot that you could watch this in 2D or 3D. Having no ready access to 3D glasses, I had to opt for the 2D experience. At the end of the film, Maggie pretty much turns to the audience to tell them to put on their 3D glasses, and the rest of the film is people pointing things at the camera. Spooky! What made Freddy scary in the original film? Oh right, it's giving deaf kids the power of ultrasonic hearing and then being really loud.

They tried way to hard.

The Final Nightmare would be followed by New Nightmare. Nightmare City predated it by 11 years, and Night Train to Terror has nothing to do with this at all. Sorry for bringing it up.

Silly and pointless. The dark, occasionally sharp humor of the previous movies is gone; instead, this movies bludgeons you with celebrity cameos and gawdy video game sequences.

(2016 Freddython #6:) I found myself weirdly somewhat amicable to this one after struggling to get through The Dream Child. Perhaps it's because this one completely gives up any remote pretense of being a horror movie and just becomes a pure comedy. Perhaps the Nintendo/Power Glove gag or Freddy killing the deaf kid with the chalkboard. I mean, don't misunderstand: This film is a piece of shit. But it's a piece of shit I found watchable and worth some laughs.

The move to full slapstick oddly works in its favor, as does taking Freddy out of the shadows and making him a real character. Bonus points for the power glove and Zane being easy on the eyes.

One, two, Freddy's coming for you. Three, fo... Actually I don't care.

If you pick two Freddies to skip, make it 'The Dream Child' and this one. But only two are worth watching in my opinion, those directed by Craven (the original and 'New Nightmare').

In this one, suburban normality doesn't alternate with dream surrealism and become increasingly infected by such nightmares. From the start 'reality' is already over-the-top batshit crazy, at least in Springwood - the distinction seems as much geographical as sleep-related, Freddy dwarfed by general craziness. A different logic is at work, and a somewhat different style. Looks cheap, badly acted. Certainly odd, but I can't imagine many would agree that 'they saved the best for last'.

If the idea was to turn Freddy into a cartoonish character, why didn't they use Peter Jackson's script then? Way better than this origin story - he had family, killed wife, lost daughter to orphanage, became serial killer of children, before dying was "invited" by dream demons to become their servant. Now they try to attract Freddy to reality to kill him. We finally see him with a clean face. Tons of lame effects, including the videogame sequence - he kills a kid by playing him as a character.

Not really the last installment in the Nightmare on Elm Street series (like maybe you thought it was!), this is a marginal improvement on parts 4 and 5. Inconsistent with others in its series but certainly watchable, though by now Tom Arnold and Roseanne Barr are getting to be scarier than Freddy.

Freddy the killer is noe Freddy the clown. Not scary at all, overley special effects, bad acting, and a crappy finale. Can't really get much worse

"They saved the best for last." - Yeah... no.

Freddy suffers the somewhat appropriate death of overexposed pop culture sell-out suicide...
1	misterlizard	15 _17th
Most of the budget for this must have went to the writers' coke habits, because this throws random (and mostly batshit insane) ideas at the screen for 90 minutes with little regard to making any kind of sense. You want to watch Freddy videogaming a kid to death after turning his infamous glove into a Nintendo PowerGlove? Then this movie is for you.

Outside of one effective bit involving a super-sensitive hearing aid, a terminally dull and bland series entry that can’t decide whether to play Freddy for gross-out scares (that aren't scary) or laughs (the weird jokey moments, especially cameos from The Arnolds and Depp, lack any sort of resonance or meaning). Englund’s mere presence is still welcome, with a likable enough cast of kids, but the film as a whole is flat and disconsolate, perhaps in pre-mourning for its leading man?

lisa zane's heritage is uncanny, she has about the same amount of facial expressions as her brother. shon greenblatt looks like a failed attempt at cloning michael biehn. freddy has finally become a parody of himself. i never minded his occasional quips, but this time he was just clowning around way too hard. i love how this started though! right into the middle of just another day at springwood, some teenage dude trying to make it through a premium survival fantasy. the rest is garbage.

Okay, I find a lot of weird entertainment in the later sequels because I think there is a little bit of creativity there. Freddy’s Dead, is so bizarre and so far removed from it’s roots to ever feel like a respectful entry in this franchise. Aside from the production looking cheap, the shoe-horned 3D makes the final act unbearable and a horrible closure to the iconic character. Freddy’s menacing presence is completely gone in this, as much of this movie feels like a gag real. Holy fuck.

wet my pants at freddy killing a stoner in a videogame and just chilling in a random dream office with a joystick and the POWER GLOVE.

(Viewed on 31/12/12): The N.O.E.S franchise was always a mixed bag, but Freddy's Dead is the only film in the series that displays close to zero visual ingenuity.The acting is worse than usual, and the death sequences (the series' call card) are quite poorly done. The 3D effects are badly rendered and the final confrontation is anticlimactic. The montage credit sequence assembled from the highlights of previous installments merely reinforces the paucity of creative ideas in this cheap cash grab.
