The producers insisted that this sixth entry in the Nightmare on Elm Street series marked the last; no points for guessing that additional sequels followed. This time, homicidal wraith Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) decides to extend his reign of terror past Elm Street. His agent-on-earth is his own long-lost daughter Maggie (Lisa Zane, sister of Phantom star Billy Zane). Securing a job as a dream therapist for troubled teens, Maggie is able to "open up" the minds of her patients so that Freddy can exercise his usual bloody prerogative. In a garish, 3-D climax, Freddy himself becomes the victim of the vengeful Maggie. Since what happens in this picture is laid out in the title, we can't possibly be accused of giving the ending away. Watch for cameos from Roseanne and her then-husband Tom Arnold, Alice Cooper, Elinor Donahue, and Johnny Depp, one of the stars of the very first Nightmare. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The burned and charred dream stalker Freddy Krueger finally meets his maker in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, the sixth entry in the Nightmare on Elm Street series. This transfer by New Line is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen (as well as 1.33:1 full frame) and looks very good. Except for a small amount of grain in a few areas, this is a generally great-looking picture with solid predominant black levels. The audio is presented in a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix and is also well produced. A few surround sounds escape out of the front and rear speakers while the bulk of the soundtrack is free of any excessive distortion or muddled dialogue. Also included on this disc is a Dolby 2.0 soundtrack and English subtitles. The only extra features available on this disc include an original theatrical trailer, some cast and crew information, a "Jump to a Nightmare" selection screen, and some DVD-ROM content. This is a good-looking disc, though only recommended for those looking to complete their Nightmare on Elm Street series on DVD. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
