Negative Positive
Title: Nine, ten, the same old thing again.
Review: Special effects are once again the main attraction of this film. And it's true that there are some great Freddy Krueger sequences and imaginative setes (although the final showdown has echoes of Labarynth with its anti-gravity staircases). But really this is no more than 'another Freddy film'. Its dark and sinister atmosphere mean it's better than the dreadful Part 4, and the idea of an unborn baby's dreams being invaded is a novel twist, but things are generally rather aimless. The heroine doesn't stand out from the thousands of others in films of this type. She certainly lost a lot of my sympathy when she started stamping on those tarantulas. I'd like to think that no real spiders were harmed during the making of this film. To sum up, if you're a special effects fan then go and see this. Just don't expect any multi-layered, complex storyline.
