Never caught that one. TV movie right?

Few good laughs but found myself losing interest by the end.

Fairly solid follow up... wasn't real keen on the Saw elements but it had some great kills and gore. Danielle Harris is becoming my favorite scream queen ;)

Recently picked up the BluRay collection of NOES films.
Featuring 1-5, Freddy's Dead, New Nightmare and a couple of episodes of the old "Freddys Nightmares" show, was pretty good value at $70AUD.

I've thus far watched 1-4, may be watching 5 this evening.

1: Remains the "scary" entry to the series in my personal opinion. I mean these days it doesn't come close to terrifying me but I quite like the representation of Freddy being a largely unknown creature, and he was just more imposing when he was simply a threatening killer, a dream stalker.
It's a fairly simple story but yeah still one of my favourites.

2: Always thought this one was weird. Never really liked it.
Still think it's probably the most "unique" of the series, and I can't say I altogether enjoyed it but it was interesting seeing the character in a different perspective. It's unfortunate that much of what was to follow stuck to a pretty simplistic formula, probably due in no small part to the feedback about this one. As I said..didn't really "like" it as such but it was a nice dark story, and it was interesting to sit through. The bird, the rat and the cat...very strange...

3: I think this is my favourite, at least it WAS for a time.
Very fun to revisit. Freddy is in good form in this one - still nice and sinister and while there's more comedy factor in his personality this time around he hasn't yet become the standup comedian of #4 and beyond.
I love that this was a semi-sequel to the first, it was great seeing Nancy come and (unfortunately) go, and while she went out with a particularly underhanded sly move on the part of the villain, she went out like a champ after helping along the "new generation", full circle and all that.
The scenes with her father and the doctor were a great addition.
It is just a fun Freddy film...

4: Hm...it's not bad...though kind've into crappy territory, and I'm not sure why I feel that way. In ways it had a better storyline than the third, it just didn't feel as watchable and maybe of lesser quality.
Though, on the plus side - Some cool more intricate and visually unusual dream sequences, and a heroine with some unusual talents and tendencies, a timeloop mindfuck that I thought was great and this is the first film to really delve into the history of Fred Krueger via the means of...a ghost...
It's not THAT bad at all really, perhaps that it was less Freddy and more "other" character focussed?
Just feels like it didn't quite pack the punch of the film prior.
