Directed by Rachel Talalay, written by Micheal DeLuca and starring Breckin Meyer, Lezlie Deane, Shon Greenblatt, Lisa Zane and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger.
After a while the unknown boy is picked up by police and brought to a youth center where he encounters a lady named Maggie who happens to have the same dreams as him.
Together the two try to unravel the mysteries behind Freddy's special ability's which could unlock the secret behind being able to get rid of him forever.
This was supposed to be the final installment in the Nightmare series but thanks to popular demand by it's fan base, the decided to continue the series with a piece of garbage they named "Wes Craven's New Nightmare", which we will be reviewing next.
Freddy's wit, originality and style made a huge impact in the franchise which lead throwing it all, in abundance, into this film. The comedy timing was great, the kills were awesome and the effects were really out there. But in a good way of course.
You could tell they were trying to draw in the 90's audience with some of the scene's. One in particular was a full length Nintendo game dream which I have always loved.
The ending would have been perfect to me had they been able to actually finish off the franchise, but seeing as they revived him twice more after his big finale, it really ruined the whole feel to it for me.
Also, there were a lot of celebrity guest appearances, including Johnny Depp who was an actor in the original Nightmare On Elm Street.
There is a lot of nostalgia factor in this one for me thanks to the kills I've always been able to remember so I will have to throw an 8 out of 10 onto this one!
