Review of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) by Bheema D — 16 Jul 2014

For one thing, it accomplishes the seemingly impossible: effectively making Freddy Krueger sympathetic. Even if it is in an admittedly highly conventional manner. The dream sequences are excellent and Robert Englund is reliably entertaining, giving possibly his most comedic performance in this entry in the series.

The second act of the movie goes by surprisingly fast, however the first and third acts notably slug, taking too long to really get started. The rest of the acting talent is quite possibly the worst of the series, and it almost seems to be the cheapest Freddy movie, between the laughable SFX, sometimes the lack thereof, and a lot of straight up easily fixable inconsistencies throughout the film.

Overall, it's not as good as one or three and probably four, but it's a satisfying bookend to the series.
