OK, I think this is Freddy's 6th death already
Rating: 2/10
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, the sixth installment of the
Nightmare on Elm Street series and once again another bad sequel. I
think this is tied up with the last sequel of the Dream Child. I was
lucky enough to get the Nightmare on Elm Street series box DVD set for
my birthday, so I got to see all the sequels. May I say that I'm just
getting more and more disappointed though with these sequels, at least
the past two, it just seems like Freddy lost his edge. It's almost like
the writers were trying to give Freddy a soul and they're just
destroying it instead of reinventing the story. This was a sequel that
wasn't needed, sorry to Robert Englund, but this was very much below
what Freddy Krueger represents.
Freddy is back, but he's got something we don't know about, a daughter.
Maggie, she's not aware that he is her father, but soon she finds out
what his dark secrets are and he wants her help. She has to do her best
to resist his powers, but it's hard with all the good memories she has
of her loving father. Ironic, isn't it? But Freddy isn't giving up
without manipulating her into his ways.
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare is also presented in 3-D, radical,
huh? Note the sarcasm. This is one of the worst sequels, it's tied up
with the fifth sequel of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, I'd rather
watch the second Nightmare on Elm Street to be honest. This just had
bad acting, stupid editing, and just over all a bad idea for a story. I
didn't like the concept of it and it just ruined the whole idea of who
Freddy Krueger really is, the death master of nightmares, not Father
Knows Best.
