Product Description

Having wiped out all the children in his home town, dreamstalking psychokiller Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) decides it is time to head for pastures new. Luckily for him, he happens across a home for troubled teens and is soon indulging his unspeakable appetites once again. This was originally intended to be the final instalment in the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' series, but director Wes Craven was unable to resist bringing Freddy back one more time in his 1994 'Wes Craven's New Nightmare'.

As a huge Nightmare fan, Freddys Dead is a big disappointment.
I actually saw this at the cinema back in the day and I still recount the numbness of the people that went to see this movie.

Basically Freddy is full of jokes again as the darker Fred from Part 5 clearly didn't work. The problem here is that they have tried to make a remake of the excellent Part 3. However here we have a bunch of actors who cannot act. Well Lisa Zane is ok and of course Yaphet Kotto is a class act, though he looks wasted in this role. Freddys Dead feels more like a videogame, and this movie has 'jumping the shark' all over it.

It is so far removed from the original and Freddy is not scary anymore, but the biggest fault is that he now has no presence. There are of course some nice ideads here, but even then they seem to have been copied from the earlier movies. The climax is hugely disappointing. I would say this and Part 5 are easily the worst of the series. If you stick to Parts 1,3 and 4 you can't go wrong.

Okay, when you choose to watch a film entitled ‘Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare’ then you can’t really complain that ‘Freddy’ may just not make it out of this one alive. Then again... if you’ve watched any of the other Freddy/Nightmare on Elm Street films, then you’re probably used to seeing Freddy get bumped off at the end of the ninety minutes then come back again.

So, this film in the ‘Nightmare’ series is the last. Or at least it is in the same way that 1984’s ‘Friday 13th: The Final Chapter’ was the ‘final’ Friday 13th film (there were approximately eight future instalments including remakes and spin-offs).

Here Freddy takes top billing once again, as he looks for pastures new to continue his evil killing spree, after wiping out every single child in Springwood. The ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ series has divided fans. Those who like the franchise serious and dark (and, dare I say it, Freddy at his scariest?) like parts I-III. However, after that, Freddy tended to drop his sinister undertones and become more of an ‘evil clown,’ spouting comic one-liners after each kill. ‘Freddy’s Dead’ can be put squarely in the latter’s bracket.

If you don’t mind Freddy’s ‘humour’ then you should enjoy this one, as it’s not that scary. However, it does tend to recycle a few of the franchise’s old plotlines, plus copies one of the later ideas from the Friday 13th series (regarding a relation of the central killer). The film-makers also tried a new trick (now the ‘norm’) of introducing a 3D element near the end of the film, although you probably will hardly notice if you’re watching it at home on DVD or Blu-ray.

I enjoyed it, but I was always okay with the ‘Freddy-light’ portrayal of the demon killer in the later movies.

This it the last of the original 'Freddy' movies and it is what it is. I purchased this for a friend for Christmas and had a chance to see it myself. If you like 'Freddy' movies then you will like this one. If like me, you're not that keen, then it's pretty bad and well, just a little bit boring to be honest. However, it does end the 'Freddy' movies well, even though they decided to carry on with the movies a few years on. Thank you.

With this film the franchise hit rock bottom. Camp, surreal and full of cameos, I don't know who this would appeal to. This feels a bit like a spoof, but it isn't that funny either. Also contains some very early and horrible CGI.

I brought many mixed feelings to the theatre with me when I originally saw this film back in late 1991. On the one hand, I was thrilled to get another chance to watch my man Freddy doing what he does best; on the other hand, I was emotionally traumatized by the thought of this literally being the end of Freddy Krueger. Still, I enjoyed the film immensely, and now – knowing that Freddy wasn't finished after all - I can go back and really have fun with this film. A lot of fans find fault with Freddy's Dead, but I am not one of them. It does go a little overboard a time or two, but this film exhibited – from start to finish - a different character, atmosphere, and feel from all five of its predecessors, breathing vivid new life and infusing great energy into all things Elm Street. It's really a quite different Freddy that we find in this installment. Jumping ten years into the future, we find Freddy pretty much fat and happy; he has been very busy in this lost decade, pretty much wiping out the young people of Springwood and infesting what is left of the town with his insidious spirit. This Freddy is strong and powerful, going out of his way to really enjoy his soul-reaping escapades. A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 made the mistake of going to extremes somewhat half-heartedly; Freddy's Dead also goes to extremes, but it does so with gusto and without the pretences that weakened Elm Street 5. Freddy truly enjoys himself in this installment, making this perhaps the most entertaining of all the Elm Street films.
The most significant aspect of Freddy's Dead is the remarkable insight we get into Freddy's past. The movie drops something of a bombshell on the audience, showing us a part of Freddy's history we never knew before.
