I really wanted to enjoy this because of the cast, but…

Terrible. Absolutely awful.

This is where the franchise starts to become almost unbearable. Instead of Freddy being a haunting, menacing maniac, he’s… a terrible comedian. The corny one-liners are bad enough, but the acting is almost worse. I will admit, though, that some of the visuals are pretty nice at times, if not exceedingly 80’s.

It’s campy and, at times, ridiculous, but still a classic. This version of Freddy is my favorite of all the films.
