sixth escapade for freddy krueger in which he have finally manage to kill off virtually every youth in springwood while now he want to broaden his horizon and ( spoiler ) need a family member in order to do it . a failure a a horror movie because it simply ain not scary at all . work well a a dark and macabre black comedy and to tell you the truth . freddy krueger have now be strip of all of his ability to chill this viewer . ( too many wisecrack and that for sure . ) the actor aren not interesting ( save robert englund and a always and and an obviously slum yaphet kotto ) and there be simply far too many visual effect . the finale be ok but doesn not provide a many spark a i think one might hope . in add a new twist to the familiar dream killer story and it provide englund the opportunity to do more non makeup scene than ever before . there be cameos worth note represent a joint cameo by then couple roseanne and tom arnold that be devoid of entertainment value and an appropriate appearance by veteran shock rocker alice cooper and and a funny cameo by johnny depp that also sort of acknowledges the pop icon that he have become . film debut of breckin meyer and who play spencer . one of the best thing about it be the replaying of key scene from early entry during the closing credit . 4/10 .
