first of all and i have to start this comment by say i be a huge nightmare on elm street fan . i think it the great horror series ever . for me and freddy be the boogeyman . of course and freddy dead and which try to be the last chapter back then and be a weird movie . it doesn not have the same atmosphere than the previous film . freddy have a lot of screen time . some think it make him less scary and which i do agree . and that and in my opinion and exactly the point . this movie exist so we can know freddy a little good and who he be and who he be and how he become the man haunt our dream . for some people and it a bad thing and it good if we never know because it scarier not to know why evil be evil . obviously those people would not like rob zombie remake of halloween . to truly enjoy this one and you have to see thing differently . it not about a strange guy hiding in the bush of your dreamland wait to scare the hell out of you . this be the first one and and it be awesome . a the year pass by and freddy kill more and more people and and nobody could ever get rid of him for good . now it time to learn about the nature of this evil and the psychological aspect of freddy realm of terror . beside the story of freddy past and i also really like the atmosphere of the movie . no more kid in springwood and only crazy grow ups . the nightmare scene be all great . the soundtrack be awesome and especially the opening song call i be awake now perform by goo goo doll . in my opinion and the final nightmare be a horror masterpiece and i can not believe it so underrated . maybe it be misunderstand and or i have different taste . anyway and all freddy fan should watch it . it have a lot of scary moment as well a funny moment too and and a lot of cameo . get yourself ready for something different and you might not be disappoint .
