I just wanted an excuse to watch a Nightmare on Elm Street movie. It was incredibly stupid and silly, and much more predictable than I would have liked, but only Wes Craven could have made something so ridiculous work. I wouldn't say it's my least favourite of the series, but it's certainly not high up there. I would definitely rewatch this, especially because Robert Englund always looks like he's having the time of his life when playing the lighter side Freddy. It wasn't exactly a great plot, and the serious moments felt out of place and underwhelming given the nature of most of the film. The acting wasn't great either, and Freddy's makeup looks rather cheap, in the nicest way possible. Certain moments didn't make any sense, considering the storyline for the other movies. But it's still good enough to watch if you're watching it for Freddy/Robert Englund, and not for the scares or the plot. Plus, let's be honest here. This movie won't disappoint you nearly as much as the cringeworthy disaster that is A Nightmare on Elm Street 2.
