This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I say no to this awful, gut wrenching trash. I was more confused then anything, and the more you watch, the more confusing it is. The movie doesn't make any damn sense. First, and foremost, I want to point out that Freddy is already dead before the movie even begins. At least, going by logic, he is suppose to be. Stay with me. In A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, we learn that Freddy is using the dead souls of the kids to not only stay alive, but to become stronger as he goes. At the end of A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, all souls that were living inside Freddy are released, leaving Freddy completely soulless, and therefore....dead, I mean, that is how they got rid of him. He's dead! In A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, he finds life through the soul of the unborn child of the dream master ( the new dream master, the old dream master passed away in Part 4 ). He finds life enhanced through three new victims, but at the end of Part 5, when the Dream Child turns against Freddy, those souls too are ripped free from him, leaving him....soulless, so he is once again, dead. Okay? With me, so far? He's dead! So! Fast forward to The Final Nightmare, which offers absolutely no explanation how Freddy is back to life. The film opens up in a very bizarre manner, if you ask me. We start the movie out with a whack job of a teen on a plane, the plane starts acting funny, you think its going to crash, and let's just say some weird sh*t goes down more then the plane does. One victim is ripped through the ceiling of the plane, leaving this teen screaming "It's not fair! I was almost out!". Huh? What's not fair? Almost out of what? What the hell just happened, what the hell is going on? Now, as if that's not confusing enough, we find him ripped downward through the floor of the plane, and he's falling faster then Kmarts stock market to the ground. Okay! He's clearly having a nightmare, so he wakes up...only to find his house is flying, and Freddy is flying outside his window, in Wicked Witch Of The West form, saying: "I'll get you, my pretty. And your little soul, too." Okay! Time out for some questions. It's clear Freddy is after a soul, so what the hell is keeping him alive in the meantime, what soul is he using? And is this dipsh*t still sleeping, or is this all really happening? And who the ( BURP!) wrote this script!? It seems like everything was written at a nine year old level. Okay! So he's awake. At least, we think so. Now he's rolling off a hill. He's still rolling off a hill. He's doing some more rolling. Still rolling. Credits are still rolling, he's still rolling....what the...mother flipping hell...the credits are still going, I feel like I've been watching this for a half hour! Okay, he's stopped rolling. Now he's being hit by a bus. Guess who's driving? Yeah, and now he's found by a couple of police officers outside a town he's not even from. So, he's not sleeping, this is all real? WHICH PART!? If he got hit by the bus, he'd clearly be dead, that's what happens to the kids who die in their sleep in the Elm Street franchise, are you cancelling out everything that we were taught? WOW! So now, we got some new kids to kill off...even though the last of the Elm Street kids were all killed off, meaning these kids have absolutely no connection to Freddys demented vendetta, but, oh well...let's kill them off anyway, right? And they die in some strange ways! One victim finds his hearing aid enlarged, exploding his head like a watermelon. Another victim dies while Freddy is playing a video game. ( I joke you not!!) And why is blood coming out of a TV set, was that ever explained? And why are these kids breaking into an abandoned house they don't live in, to get some sleep? Isn't sleep what they all try to avoid, you know, to stay alive? AND HOW IS THIS HOUSE STILL GETTING POWER, IF IT'S ABANDONED? Somebody needs to start forking up some answers. I haven't had this many questions since I went to church last. And, of all things, this movie boasts "They saved the best for last." PFFT! Everyone knows the original is the best. To say the least, The Final Nightmare was a total sh*t splat, by the time it was finally all over, I was even asking myself questions about previous Elm Street films that I thought didn't have any questions to begin with. And, as if the movie wasn't confusing enough, we have a discovery that is made. Freddy had a child. Ummm...who would f*ck this guy? Never mind! I'm done. 4 out of 10 stars. Suck it, Final Nightmare.

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.

I haven't been watching a lot of movies lately because I have a hard time sitting through something that lasts for well over an hour without getting restless. Either ending up on my phone or just getting out of bed to do a couple laps in my flat, which is really just two steps forward and two steps back. But, it's October, and I really wanted to watch at least one horror movie this month. Still haven't gotten around to it.At best this is a slasher flick riddled with slapstick humor. Most of the horror is replaced with what can barely be described as dark humor, and there's not much that's surreal about the nightmare world. Carlos' kill was pretty neat, but other than that I don't have much in the way of positive words. I really don't appreciate the movie exploring Freddy's life, I much preferred him when he was a more mysterious supernatural creature. Turns out he was just another twisted kid turned serial killer? Lame.

Freddy's reign of terror comes to an end fortunately before it goes from big theater productions to straight to video.Freddy has finally taken in enough souls to become a God like being and take the city by storm. With all the kids dead, leaving the parents in a trance like state, he sends out the last teenager alive to gather more victims.The finale nightmare tries to be like an episode of twin peaks with strange characters, mysterious bells and time loops. Yet I would rather watch that TV series then this movie again.The whole film feels like a horror cartoon with out any menace or suspense. The characters are so annoying you want to pull your hair out and kill em yourself.Usually you expect to have imaginative dream scapes and death sequences in this series. I felt they didn't even try. It shows only the town square repeatedly and has a character become stuck in a video game while a big bully swats him with a tennis racket.The others felt timeless and like it could happen at anytime or place. This feels dated by video game references, music and edge they were going for.It didn't try to answer who is this kid, was he chosen for a reason or are we suppose believe he's Jacob Johnson?While I liked the flash backs to Freddy's youth, it could make up for a lacking script.You skip over this and not miss a thing.
