WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

TheLittleSongbird The original 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' is still to me one of the scariest and best horror films there is, as well as a truly great film in its own right and introduced us to one of the genre's most iconic villains in Freddy Krueger. It is always difficult to do a sequel that lives up to a film as good as 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' let alone one to be on the same level.As far as 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' sequels go, there are good ones such as 'The Dream Master' (number 4) and especially 'Dream Warriors' (number 3) but also disappointing ones with 'The Dream Child (number 5) and this 'The Final Nightmare' (the second film 'Freddy's Revenge' was also underwhelming but not as much as 5 and 6). Very little to recommend, with the only good things being Robert Englund doing his conscientious and freaky best and the haunting music.While a little better-looking than the fifth film, being not as crude and self-indulgent, the suitably nightmarish at times production design is wasted by the film looking drab and dreary and it can look sloppy. The 3D looks cheap and was truly pointless. Like the previous film, erratically paced (both rushed and tedious), ridiculous and non-atmospheric story with scares that are unimaginatively derivative, too far and between and vapidly tame on the whole. It lacks any kind of originality and is all very ho-hum.Englund aside, the acting is both bland and annoying. The cameos from Rosanne Barr, Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper were just as unnecessary as the 3D and are neither interesting or funny. Like the fifth film though, the cast have to work with an awkwardly clunky script and irritating characters that are written childishly and make decisions that frustrate. Even the humour doesn't work, Freddy's one-liners are more stale and toe-curlingly groan-worthy than twisted or witty and what was darkly comic before is replaced by an overload of cheese. The direction is largely unimaginative, while there is far too much of an over-reliance on gimmicks (none fresh or clever) and the ending is one of the lamest and most tacked on there is in horror.Overall, an incredibly tired entry and suggestive that the series is dead. 2/10 Bethany Cox

hellholehorror I was pleasantly surprised with this sequel. I was expecting rubbish like the other sequels but I got... errr... something worth a watch. I would like to say that I got the impression that this version was cut by the studio to get the R-Rating that it has. The story is incoherent but it doesn't try to do anything unlike the other pathetic sequels in this series. The writing is good, the pace good, the direction good, the violence good and so on. There is nothing that makes this stand out except when comparing to A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) through to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989). Final judgement - strikingly good when you think that this is number six in the series.

D Rahul Raj Jsd Today is Ms Rachel Talalay's Birthday (August 16th). In honor of her, I watched the sixth episode in the Elm Street franchise which is the only chapter directed by a Woman. I do not understand why this sequel has received negative reviews from the critics. Well, it's their job, they always like to criticize good films like this. As far as I'm concerned, I love this chapter and the entire franchise except the remake which is truly rubbish. It's not even considered an Elm Street film. It's more like a copycat Freddy in a parody. Robert Englund will always be Freddy Krueger to us horror fans.This movie isn't bad at all, watched it more than God only knows how many times. I have watched it since I was 10 years old. A mysterious tale of Freddy's kid and it has elements of Krueger's past before he was a dream demon. You've got two gorgeous ladies, Lisa Zane and Lezlie Deane, laying and kicking some chopsuey action with Shon Greenblatt, Breckin Meyer, Ricky Dean Logan and Yaphet Kotto against the Springwood Slasher himself - plus a cameo appearance by major stars.Every Elm Street film has its own creativity with its nightmares. This chapter has nightmare sequences that are frightening and fun, scary and silly at the same time with innovative deaths, and more. What can I say? It's just packed with awesomeness!!! This is what I call a movie not only for horror fans but also everyone. I would love to see Rachel return to do more feature films with her kind of style, her signature in films like Freddy's Dead and Tank Girl, which was another great film. I don't see movies like these being made anymore nowadays. We need more of it!!!

Wuchak RELEASED IN 1991 and directed by Rachel Talalay, "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" (aka "A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: The Dream Lover") focuses on the last survivor of Freddy's vengeful assaults on the teens of the parents that vengefully killed him in Springwood, OH. The amnesiac (Shon Greenblatt) finds sanctuary at a home for troubled youths where three of the kids plan to escape (Lezlie Deane, Breckin Meyer & Ricky Dean Logan). Dr. Maggie Burroughs (Lisa Zane) takes John and (inadvertently) the three escapees to Springwood to find answers where they discover that Freddy had a child whom he wants to use to continue his murders. Who is his child? The element concerning the halfway house for messed-up kids is borrowed from "Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning" (1985), but "Freddy's Dead" isn't as effective because (1.) the characters aren't as interesting, (2.) the plot is convoluted, and (3.) the female cast is inferior. Don't get me wrong on that last one, because Lisa Zane is stalwart and Lezlie Deane (as Tracy) is formidable. Deane, incidentally, was a former Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader (fired after six weeks for punching a choreographer) and went on to perform with the lipstick-lesbian band Fem2Fem in the mid-90s (big surprise) and, later, Scary Cherry and the Bang Bangs.In light of the complicated story, this sixth installment might play better with repeat viewings. It's likable and worthy in some ways, but it's (currently) my least favorite of the first six films in the "Nightmare" series.THE MOVIE RUNS 89 minutes and was shot in Sierra Madre & Los Angeles, California. WRITERS: Michael De Luca (screenplay) and Talalay (story). ADDITIONAL CAST: Yaphet Kotto plays a counselor at the shelter.GRADE: C+
