Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)

The official final chapter in the series and I officially did not enjoy it one bit. The effects and make-up are reminiscent of a B-movie. More of a spoof than to be taken seriously. Extremely disappointing.

I'm fan of A Nightmare on Elm Street but this is the worst out of the series. The film could of done better if they hire the right people and it'll be a decent last film. I would change things to make it more better and I'll fix the story. The movie is so bad that they made another sequel to make it up. They almost had it but it fail.

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!!!

Everyone pretty much hates this movie, because it is goofy and it is not scary or dark enough. Freddy is more goofy and funny in this movie. This movie is criminally underrated! I like this movie I think it is Miles way better than The Dream Child and the remake. This is a childhood movie of mine and it was the first Freddy movie that introduced me in to A Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I love Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger and I love watching the character in all movies except the remake. The sixth installment in The Elm Street movies is not better than the previous 4 movies but it is still way better than part 5 and the remake those two movies suck.I like this movie and I will go in to why I like this movie. I know people who likes this movie, I have a co worker, who this movie is his third favorite in the Elm Street movies. I like this movie a lot. It's one of the better sequels (not as good as the 1984 original, of course, but A LOT better than The Dream Child that it is just my honest opinion. In my opinion I like this movie a lot, but the film does have a few problems, that I think it could be much better film, but today I will talk about things I like: Do I care about the humor and goofy in it? No! It had a pretty good kills and I like it.I like the cast and the actor's in it they were decent.Lisa Zane as Maggie Burroughs social worker was alright, I like the idea of a older women period. The 3d effects at the time were pretty good. Actual effort was made for 3D to look good.I like the songs for this movie: Why Was I Born? (Freddy's Dead) by Iggy Pop and Goo Goo Dolls songs: You Know What I Mean, Two Days in February and I'm Awake Now.Every time I am watching this movie I am having fun with it.This film was intended to be the last film in the series: however, the success of this film prevented the series from ending (much like Friday the 13th parts four and nine). It is the sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child and is followed by Wes Craven's New Nightmare, which takes place outside the series' canon.Lezlie Deane as Tracy was tough and sexy as Tracy and her martial arts kicking Freddy was great watching her on screen. It was too bad she wasn't the main heroine.I like Lisa Zane fighting Freddy bringing him from his dream world in to our real world and beating him off including sticking a dynamite in to Freddy and blowing him to pieces was a bad ass.I like the performance and acting from Lezlie Deane as teen Tracy I liked her and it made me in to buying the movie.I like the fights in this movie, which it is much better and awesome scenes than it is in Part 5.I thought Robert Englund had really fun making this movie, he was funny Freddy but he was still likable for me. I am sorry but I think his performance was way better than in The Dream Child. I don't mind the make up in this movie while all others does.I like the dream sequences and I like Shon Greenblatt in this movie who is afraid of heights.I like the human stuff with Freddy and I also liked Lisa Zane in this movie and I also liked Yaphet Kotto he played in the movie The Park Is Mine (1985) in my favorite Vietnam movie.Overall: I don't care whoever say's this movie sucks it is dull and so on. This movie is a childhood of mine and it was the movie that introduced me to watch this movie. In 2003 when I was a teen when Freddy vs. Jason (2003) come out I actually even rent a VHS tape of this film. I it was the only film I rent in a video store on VHS. It is my childhood film so I like it. Rachel Talalay did a good job directing this movie and written a story so no I don't think she id a terrible job. I am giving a score 7/10 for this movie. If you hate that is fine I like it.Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (also known as A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy's Dead or A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: The Final Nightmare) is a 1991 American 3D slasher film and the sixth film in the Nightmare on Elm Street series.
