Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare 4K 1991

Not every teen horror film begins with a quote. In Nightmares, this practice has been present since the third installment. But the sixth film surpasses not only all the Freddy films, but also many other films in this regard: after all, it's not every day that authors choose Nietzsche's words as an epigraph.

However, even by the final credits, it remains unclear why this quote was used. Probably just because it sounds cool: our movie starts with a quote from Nietzsche, but what about yours? But apart from this very quote and those very final credits, set against the backdrop of the most delicious and spectacular shots from the entire series, there is absolutely nothing in the film that could interest the viewer.
Some kind of general storyline does emerge, of course, but the script was clearly written right on the set. There is no question of character development, of course, but the authors did have an original idea, which unfortunately died in its infancy: the story of Freddy's past, before he became a deadly maniac.

This storyline contradicts the previous films, but by this point, the creators and viewers no longer cared, as it was already impossible to make sense of the intricate plot twists and turns of the various parts (which often contradicted each other). But if the authors had been able to bring such a plot to the forefront, they would have been forgiven for a lot. However, this storyline is only hinted at.

The creators of the film clearly tried to take their creation into the realm of banter that exceeded all conceivable limits, but either they overdid it or simply did not know in which direction to develop their intentions. The result is something incomprehensible and unfunny: Freddy flying on a broomstick and playing computer games—no comment, as they say.

The elements of black humor, skillfully woven into the first films, have been replaced here by clumsy gags. Robert Englund is still excellent as Freddy, but his character's idiotic lines kill everything else.

It's not hard to understand why the sixth installment was made: there's no such thing as too much money, so why not cash in on the franchise's former glory once again? But it's extremely difficult for viewers to endure such antics, because watching what's happening on screen is beyond their strength.
