Freddy's supposedly final outing turns the nightmare villain into an increasingly elaborate cartoon host. Broad backstory, goofy deaths and conspicuous gimmicks compete for attention; it is a colourful spectacle, though the jokes often chase the scares straight out of the room.

Synopsis and movie facts
Just when you thought it was safe to sleep, Freddy Krueger returns in this sixth installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street films, as psychologist Maggie Burroughs, tormented by recurring nightmares, meets a patient with the same horrific dreams. Their quest for answers leads to a certain house on Elm Street -- where the nightmares become reality.
