Leave your thoughts about Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThe non-3-D special effects throughout the film are pretty good, but the level of acting, along with such technical aspects as lighting and editing, are awful. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonYou're going out with a touch of class: a slam-bang finale in 3-D -- make that Freddyvision; a gaggle of one-liners directed at the final crop of victims and a few in-jokes; some wonderfully bizarre dream sequences; and the possibility that while Freddy may be gone, some of his progeny may live on (we can say no more). |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe joke is on the filmmakers: By taking the finality out of death, they've already robbed the horror genre of its giddy sting. |
| VarietyVariety StaffSixth and final edition in the Nightmare on Elm Street feature series delivers enough violence, black humor and even a final reel in 3-D to hit paydirt with horror-starved audiences. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJohn StanleyIt’s disappointingly ho-hum, without the spectacular — and often very funny — special effects that have become the hallmark of this series. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanYou know Freddy may or may not be finally dead, but he's looking pretty damn tired. |
| The Seattle TimesJohn HartlA proverbial whimper of a finale, Freddy's Dead, the sixth in the series, feels like the product of people who have no vested interest in keeping their franchise alive...You notice almost immediately how underpopulated the movie feels--by ideas, by special effects, even by phobic young cast members waiting to fall asleep and be slaughtered. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellThe Final Nightmare marks an end to Freddy's wisecracking ways. This surrealistic nightmare fits the style perfectly, but sometimes lacks in imagination. |
| Georgia StraightSteve NewtonFreddy Krueger's 3-D death is about as lame as the rest of this crummy flick, the sixth and supposedly last in the often imaginative but ultimately numbing Nightmare on Elm Street series. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.An admitted guilty pleasure and one that delivers the corn ball gags by the dozens. |
