There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)Plot In A Paragraph: Dream-haunting Freddy Krueger returns once again to prowl the nightmares of Springwood's last surviving teenager.WOW this was awful. I turned it off once I seen Depps blink and you'll miss it clip!!If you want to see the once terrifying Freddy Kruger impersonating The Wicked Witch Of The West from Wizard Of Oz, this may be for you!! As it was I hated it. Depp appears for about 20 seconds during an advert on tv, in which Kruger hits him in the face with a frying pan.Freddy's Dead was the 37th highest grossing movie of the year, with a domestic haul of $34 million dollars.

I'm fan of A Nightmare on Elm Street but this is the worst out of the series. The film could of done better if they hire the right people and it'll be a decent last film. I would change things to make it more better and I'll fix the story. The movie is so bad that they made another sequel to make it up. They almost had it but it fail.

By far I have never seen such a joke of a movie. It is surprising to me why would anyone put this crap on a high spot in any of the polls. The acting, the story line are just atrocious. The pace is so slow and uninteresting that you fall asleep halfway the movie's run. The comedic approach and references to pop culture are done absolutely wrong. You can see the influence if the early 90's cinematography and it is not a good news. The cast is so bad and annoying that you actually get why any of those kids have or had a career. Even Robert Englund did not try in this one and gave up. His mediocre efforts throughout this movie are now epic. Avoid this garbage at all cost!

I put off writing this review for a long time as it is arguably the worst entry into the series (except for maybe Freddy vs. Jason and the atrocious remake - but more on that later) and by far my least favourite, as everybody's favourite dream killer hacks his way through yet another batch of sleep deprived teenagers to get to his daughter, a social worker for said teenagers, in order to make his way out of Springwood (whose population of children he has successfully slaughtered) and into the consciousness of a new town to terrorise.Yes, they waited until the 'final' instalment of the franchise to reveal that before (or whilst) he became a serial child killer, Freddy was a family man with a wife and child; a set-up which simply falls flat, firstly because it was always heavily implied that Freddy had been forced to lurk in boiler rooms due to his social outcast role in the community - so this revelation just comes out of nowhere - and secondly, because although I feel the series had already become somewhat lacklustre before this movie, the characters in Freddy's Dead are so unbelievably dull, which equates to a very anti-climactic 'send-off' for this horror icon.I can't help but feel that the movie would've packed more of a punch if they'd found a way to bring back characters from previous movies in the series to defeat Freddy for a 'final' time.I've always been fairly generous when judging the Elm Street series as even after the movies themselves stopped being 'scary' I've always given props to the creativity of the visuals and ideas (i.e. the idea of the teenagers having dream powers and abilities suited to their personalities), but all of that is just gone in this movie; none of the characters have any interesting traits, powers or abilities and after having watched Freddy's Dead again recently, for the purpose of writing this review, I did enjoy the sequences where the John Doe character keeps finding himself in situations where he is falling through the sky but this is completely overridden by the cringe worthy video game/power glove sequence.Oh, and the movie attempts to explain the origins of Freddy's powers which is not only incredibly lame but unnecessary.(You've probably noticed that I've written the word 'final' in quotation marks; that's because I like to think Freddy's REAL send-off came out just three short years after this movie's release...)
