Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

You almost have to admire its audacity, but as a way to close out a (mostly) beloved horror franchise? This ain't it.

It's not good, but the camp/trash is as deliberate as the homages to the previous entries in the franchise. One wishes Lisa Zane and Yaphet Kotto had more to do, but there's playfulness and subversion here that should be applauded

It's an incredibly poor way to end the series, unfaithful in its storytelling and tone, pervaded by rock music segues for modernity, and utterly amateurish in its execution.

The joke is on the filmmakers: By taking the finality out of death, they've already robbed the horror genre of its giddy sting.

An admitted guilty pleasure and one that delivers the corn ball gags by the dozens.
