Still, I really like this one. It finds a nice balance between the “lighter” Freddy of part 4 and the darker earlier entries in the series plus Alice was always my favorite heroine of the series. The dream and death sequences are some of most imaginative of the series, I especially liked the diving board scene and of course the Freddy bike. I also loved the use of blue especially during the asylum scenes. Amazing looking. Fun fact, Whit Hertford who played Jacob was in William Friedkin’s criminally underseen Rampage (1987). VHSPS that shit man!<br /><br />I actually have the official movie magazine for this one that I believe Fangoria put out to help promote the film. Its in pretty rough shape and I’ve been meaning to scan it as a precautionary preservation measure for some time now. Perhaps this was the reminder I needed. I’ve also got a shirt with Freddy and the demon baby in even rougher shape. <br /><br />I’d also like to point out that when it comes to the Elm Street films, (the original 7 that is, that OTHER thing doesn’t exist to me, at least I try and convince myself it doesn’t) I don’t find any of them to be bad and that includes Freddy’s Dead. Hell the original tapes are not even 3 feet away from me as a type this! Thomas Nulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026457618054428545noreply@blogger.com
