Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

I love most of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies(number 2 really sucked. The final Freddy movie wasn't to bad. In my opinion they are a lot better than the Friday the 13th movies. However, I wish this movie had more guts and gore and was more scarier. Don't get me wrong I love Freddy's sense of humor but I love to see people get butchered into little pieces. I also loved how they showed Freddy as a human being in the last Freddy movie. Robert Englund is a sweetie. =)

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) was the last film to feature Freddy Krueger as a solo act (not as an entity or a co-star). The years of killing have taken a toll upon the town of Springwood. It has gotten to the point that the little city has become a virtual ghost town. The parents who killed Freddy Krueger so many years ago have all paid the ultimate price. Only the mad inhabit the town and the survivors are scattered everywhere. But that doesn't stop Freddy from seeking out his final revenge. No matter how they try to stop him, he always comes back for more. But this time he finds out a little more about his old life. Can the kids finally stop Freddy for good? What is this secret that is buried in Freddy's twisted mind? to find out you'll have to watch Freddy's Dead. the end was originally filmed in 3-D. A fitting way to end the franchise. Freddy learns something about himself and his perverted life and he gets to go out in a bang! Lisa Zane, Yaphet Kotto and Freddy Krueger star in this final installment. Rosanne, Tom Arnold and Johnny Depp make special appearances. A whole lot better than the last one but it's filled with a few dated jokes. If you enjoy the series then you don't want to miss out on this one. I have to recommend this movie for Freddy fans.

My least favorite of the entire series. While not a total loss, you do come away feeling cheated. The redeeming qualities of this flick are: the continued exploration into Freddy's past. (HELLO NEW LINE - DO THE NIGHTMARE PREQUEL - IF YOU MAKE IT WE WILL COME!) This was one whacked joker. The 3D sequences were good, but the ending totally blew. Pros: Opening Sequence -- Cons: Ending -- Bottom Line: Still better than alot of other horror crud 5/10!

I guess I'm part of the silent minority who enjoyed this film. Is it one of the best of the "Nightmare" series? Maybe not, but I had lots of fun with it. Freddy Krueger reaches his evil, wisecracking potential. Since parts 4 and 5 kind of lagged the series down, I felt this so-called final installment ("New Nightmare" is the real finale) brought the series out of its slump. There are some great nightmare sequences, including one where Breckin Meyer plays a stoner who gets trashed, falls asleep and gets stuck in a video game to which Freddy controls. This is both a highly original and hilarious sequence, especially when we see him out of the dreamscape, hopping around like Super Mario. And Freddy belts out the funny one-liner, "Great graphics." And since the movie was made about 10 years ago, it brought back memories when Freddy started controlling the game with the Powerglove. Anyone who remembers the first 8-bit Nintendo remembers the Powerglove. The cast is superb. Lisa Zane is perfectly cast in the lead. I haven't seen Yaphet Kotto since "The Running Man," and I think the last time I saw that film was about 5 years ago. He's another great, underappreciated actor who possesses a powerful screen presence. And who can forget the cameos? The best one is by Johnny Depp (from the first "Nightmare") playing a spokesman for an anti-drug commercial. The 3D sequence at the end is really awesome! So for those who are looking to check this film out--please rent or buy it on DVD! Hopefully all the editions come with the 3D glasses, but I'm sure the video edition has the 3D element removed. I personally didn't see many things wrong with the film. It even elaborated on Freddy's backstory. The film is a great mix of humor and scares, and the gross-out effects are terrific. Could this have given better justice to the franchise? Of course it could have. But Rachel Talalay did a fine job. And finding the perfect conclusion is easier said than done. And in closing, I loved the montage over the opening credits. Fans of the series will be delighted, and will look at it as a tribute to beloved Freddy. My score: 7 (out of 10)

I've just seen it in English for the first time and I think this one was great! In french, the voice is Freddy is not so good, but Robert Englund is excellent! I know it's not scary but it's very funny. When Freddy plays a video game he says "Now I'm playing with power" and I found out that the slogan of Nintendo was "Now you're playing with power"!!! Finally, those who wants a great entertaining horror movie, this one is for you.

Great I own all the Blue-rays as well but in this case Freddy's The Final Nightmare The blu-ray does not have 'Famous' Final Anaglyph 3D End Sequence so I watched the HD version till the 3D Finale and busted out my pair of "color-coded" "anaglyph glasses" I saved from my 'Psychedelic' expansion of consciousness days to watch the DVD in 3D. I do not really like black humor in horror films albeit: Ash(Bruce Campbell) & Feddy Krueger ( Robert Englund) Krueger is at his funniest. Totally hilarious. And it the film still can creeps me out. 'Que-Tip through the ear scene'. These films are (so good). Or maybe one must need to be a nostalgic super fan!! The cameo's by Roseanne , Tom Arnold , Alice Cooper and 'This your Brain on Drugs' funny by Johnny Deep. I thought I would work my way backwords in the 9 film collection Worst to best . But I was wrong about Freddy's' Dead it is one of the best .

"Freddy's Dead" is the sixth installment of the "Nightmare" series and is probably the weakest overall. Freddy is trying to get into the real world again and needs the help of his now-grown daughter (Lisa Zane). She is a counselor at a place for mentally-disturbed teens and soon they all start dreaming of Freddy when she decides to go back to the town from the original. Cameos and 3-D effects try to make this film interesting, but nothing works. It seems that every story-line from the first five were summarized in this yawner: the original town (part I), Freddy trying to get into the real world (part II), the teens of a psychiatric asylum (part III), 3-D effects (part IV), and the fact that Freddy actually has a kid (part V). All this combines to create a pure mess of a film that only the greatest of fans will enjoy. Turkey (0 out of 5 stars).

This movie was good for two reasons: 1., actually explained the full truth about freddy and how he became a monster and 2., this movie was so funny. Besides it gave you an in depth look behind the life of Freddy, something that the previous entries failed to do. Watch it!!

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare is the weakest film of the franchise. Freddy now is more funny than creepy, the nightmare scenes are a bit bored and the characters are not interesting this time, their background traumas are not seriously taken in this script. Also the death scenes, performances and direction are poor. Freddy's background is interesting but was used in a very silly way. Not that bad but not a good sequel either.
