Unfortunately Freddy's kills have become the franchise's raison d'etre by part 6 of the Elm Street series, and consequently the movie is emotionally empty and vacuous. Resorting to inventing a daughter for the eponymous slasher, the makers have clearly reached the bottom of the barrel. For completists only.

I remember first seeing this in the classic VHS form with the rental 3D glasses! Then years later when the DVD gen started I waited forever to get this DVD and found they didnt even put the 3D ending in, which looks very silly without it. As a film it doesnt continue from Dream Child it attempts to start a new while wanting to close the book on Freddy for good. As a Freddy fan I can say that this isnt the best sequel, the Krueger makeup is bollocks and the dream demon FX is very pedestrian compared to the awesome and outlandish creations the series has to date. Freddy doesnt put up much of a fight (and no im not comparing to FVJ) Freddy looses his sinister edge with New Lines need to inject more humor into this film. Though why the hell not go out laughing? with special cameos from Johnny Depp and those fat people who were married and supposedly big at one point!!! And lets not forget the ever greatness of Alice Cooper playing Freddy Krueger's foster father and a bloody mean one at that, my last quarm with this movie is the fact that there was so much room for exploration and they fit it all into a standard 90 min movie.

Probably as bad as part 2, but I must give it extra credit for some funny moments and for a couple of good performances.
Freddy returns to find his daughter, and to kill the last child of the parents who killed him in Springwood. In doing so, Freddy believes the way will open for him to explore a whole new city and country of kids and their fears. To do this he must bring his child into the open, as she has long since escaped Springwood. However, he underestimates his daughter and her friends, and they stage a fight to finally destroy Krueger.
The plot is interesting- more so than other fims in the genre, but unfortunately there are far too many jokes, and Freddy is no longer scary. Instead of following the plot, smoothing over the holes, and finding a good complete cast, it relies on effects, which are not as good as previous films, and gimmicks- the 3D caper. Englund seems sad that the role he will be remembered for is no longer a horrific and evil character from who it is almost impossible to escape from, but a one-liner giver, and slapstic comedian. Even the flashbacks, which could have been very dark, are not effective. Zane is good, Lezlie Deane is excellent, Depp gives an interesting cameo but the other cameos are average, as are the rest of the cast. Kotto does well in a small part. If only the film had sought to be more like the first- dark, rather than humorous it would have been better. If you want to make a scary film, make it completely devoid of humour. If you want to make a mix of both work well, keep the humour very tongue-in cheek.
The extras on the disk are similar to the previous few films, nothing too exciting. Buy it to complete the collection, probably only for fans.

A refreshing, surprisingly good "end" to the series
I brought many mixed feelings to the theatre with me when I originally saw this film back in late 1991. Read more

"Every town has an Elm Street..." (4.5 stars)
I think most would agree that this particular Freddy movie is the goofiest of them all. It isn't even very scary, but still manages to be creepy. Read more

Maybe not the best film but great for Freddy fans
So, the film is probably one of the worst in the nightmare series but this film doesnt aim to be the scariest movie of all time. Read more

Like a Good Hallucination
Though it may not have the shock value that the first Elm st. provided, the 6th installment provides a more hallucinatory journey into familiar territory. Read more
