Kids...always a disappointment

by flash-hammer Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 17 '04
Pros: Good effects, decent acting, good idea
Cons: idea poorly executed, not even a bit scary, poor deaths, few deaths
Dream Child was the lowest grossing of all the Nightmare movies, possibly due to Freddy overkill. Due to the TV series and over marketing of the character, I guess people were just getting sick of the Springwood slasher. Released a year after ...

More Mediocre Nightmares

by steelcorpfilms , Jan 29 '08
Pros: Robert Englund and some good effects.
Cons: One dimensional characters and a strained plot.
This one picked up where the last one left off pretty much. Freddy is once again resurrected and starts killing people off. It's yet another mediocre installment of the aging "Nightmare" series. The acting was nothing special, the story was so-so, but ...
