Well,if you ask me,this is the second best of the series,next to Part 7 (the New Nightmare).It holds a more "dramatic" sense of death than the any of the other entries of the series. The acting is superb. You'll actually feel sympathy for  Freddy's  victims. It's strange,coz usually your rooting for him the whole...  time  but here, you'll be hoping the kids make it out alive. Odd, but great. The  story is excellent. Kids use their dream powers to get back at Freddy,which  is very creative. The death scenes are excellent. Phillp's puppet death is  without a doubt the coolest  death of the film (not to mention,it's  incredibly gruesome and is sure to make you cringe for quite a while).The  special F/X are brilliant. Phillp's death,Freddy's make-up,the other death  scenes. It's just brilliant! Freddy also gets some real cool  "upgrades",with the ability to transform into a snake,and he even  wears a tuxedo at one point.  The gore is plentiful.if your looking for  gore, you won't be disappointed at all. Robert Englund's performance as  Freddy,once again,is incredible. Also,this is the last NOES flick where he  was evil. In NOES 4-6 he got very humorous,with his non-stop profanity,lame  one-liners and dumb tactics. He got VERY evil in Part 7 and was at his  darkest,and he's almost at his best and darkest here. My only gripe is the  running time. It's fairly short. Still,this is an excellent entry in the  series and definitely one of the
better ones. I highly recommend you go  out and buy it along with Part 7. It totally rocks! Rated R for gruesome  horror violence,some language and a sex scene.
