Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare 4K 1991 Ultra HD 2160p

Here, we learn the reasons behind the emergence of Freddy Krueger, a spirit who has been taking revenge on the residents of his hometown since the very beginning. Abandoned by everyone since childhood, Freddy grew up very embittered. He is tormented by a mania for murder and kills children by luring them into an old boiler room. When the court acquits the maniac on technical grounds, the enraged parents of the victims lynch him.

User Review

By the time the seventh installment of the saga was released, Freddy Krueger had already become one of the most prominent movie villains of our time. He was loved by all ages: from children who enjoyed bloodshed to elderly maniacs. Freddy Krueger. Let's think about that name. Everyone knows it. And now I realize that he is the most famous movie villain. Only the Joker, Jason Voorhees, and Darth Vader can stand alongside him. At this point, Freddy is already a pop culture icon, the most popular character in numerous books, comics, TV series, and eight films (eight so far, because a remake is currently being filmed with Jackie Earl Haley in the role of Krueger). Freddy is charismatic. He is a joker and at the same time a cruel maniac killer. I LOVE FREDDY KRUEGER.

But I don't really like the abuse of the images of great characters and the change in the concept of films about them, which Rachel Talalay did in her film. The film is called ‘Freddy's Dead’ because she killed him. Thank God Wes Craven resurrected and improved him in 1994. Rachel, on the other hand, made the worst part of a wonderful franchise, rendering everything in her film worthless.

But, as it turned out later, Rachel wasn't the only one to blame. The film's producers rejected Peter Jackson's script, which would certainly have been bloody and meaningful, and commissioned Michael De Luca to write the script, who would later write another piece of trash, ‘Judge Dredd’.

The plot tries to squeeze every last drop out of the Freddy story, already going to extremes. We get a very boring and completely non-scary story about Krueger's childhood. We are abruptly thrown forward 5 years, then another 5 years. We see everything in fragments, which demonstrates the obvious stupidity of the film's creators. The worst thing is that at the beginning we see some guy running away from Krueger. Then a group of teenagers appears. The guy clearly doesn't fit into the group and “throws himself into the fire” at the first opportunity. Here the viewer is stunned. He's supposed to be the main character, right? But that's not the case! The main characters are that bunch of guys whose names the viewer can't seem to remember. And that girl, Kruger's daughter. I kept forgetting her name while watching the movie. The viewer starts thinking about abstract topics all the time. Personally, during the final battle, I was thinking about what I was going to eat after the movie. As you can already tell, the plot is painfully predictable.

The acting? Ha. You have to look hard to find it. You have to strain to remember the actors themselves, let alone remember how terribly they played the victims. Robert Englund, by the way, makes even more ridiculous faces than the girls who run away from him.

I also want to mention the stars of the film (almost the only positive impression). Cool rock musician Alice Cooper appeared in the role of Freddy's father, which I was very happy about; it was fun to see Cooper in the movie. I also really liked Johnny Depp, who played the guy in the commercial who appears for 10 seconds and then gets smacked in the face with a frying pan (I laughed out loud).

The film throws all its idiocy in the viewer's face by showing the dream of weed lover Spencer (played by actor Breckin Meyer). Spencer is sucked into the TV, and in real life he jumps and spins around like in a video game, punching through walls. The film also has the silliest ending of all the Nightmare films. After Krueger's death, there should be shock. The survivors should be surprised to realize that they killed him. But, as they say, everything here is a soft spot on a joint. The characters start to rejoice and laugh louder than horses. Laugh with them? No, thank you.

On the plus side, I'll note the music playing during the gorgeous final credits. The credits themselves are an excellent montage of all the murders from the previous parts. Perhaps we can thank Rachel Talalay for that. But that's about all there is to thank her for.
