Not the worst of the series, but far from the best -- and hardly the 'Final' anything.

Full of bluster and gimmickry. Does anyone involved even remember the original movie?

It makes less sense than any preceding Nightmare film...although it's so out-and-out crazy that it's at least a little bit more entertaining than some of them

The Final Nightmare marks an end to Freddy's wisecracking ways. This surrealistic nightmare fits the style perfectly, but sometimes lacks in imagination.
