Negative Positive
Title: You could easily fall asleep hrough this.
Review: This is the last Nightmare On Elm Street film I'd show to a hater of the series to try and convert them. It's filled with everything the critics hate about Freddy films. For a start the special effects seem to have been deemed more important than any kind of decent script. Freddy is no more than a wise-cracking clown, the sets are garish and any suspence is swiftly killed off by painful over-acting. The ending is very good special-effects-wise, but plot-wise it's the feeblest (anti)climax I've ever seen in a horror film. The heroine shows Freddy has reflction! What is he, Medusa the Gorgan? Freddy had actually already seen his reflection in this film in some shining barbells, so the whole scene just falls flat on its face. If you're a fan of Freddy films then there's a few memorable moments, but this is more of a teen idol film than a horror film, the series producers obviously milking every last drop from the Freddy character.
Is the review positive or negative?
