This sixth and last of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" thrillers is not the best of the series, but it has its own peculiar charms. Feeling confined by his small-time turf of Springfield, malevolent ghost Freddy Krueger ( Robert Englund ) decides to expand his "talents" to other communities. He intends to use his long-lost daughter Maggie ( Lisa Zane ) to lure unsuspecting teenagers into his homicidal nightmare world. After several gruesome setpieces, the film boils down to a 10-minute war of wills between Freddy and Maggie, lensed in highly unstable 3-D. Keeping the audience awake between atrocities is the presence of several celebrities in cameo roles: Johnny Depp (star of the first Nightmare on Elm Street flick), Roseanne and Tom Arnold , Alice Cooper , Elinor Donahue , and Robert Shaye , the film's producer. — Hal Erickson

Story Synopsis:
In Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, a child psychologist (Zane) is tormented by recurring nightmares. But not until she meets a new patient with the same horrific dreams, does her quest for answers lead to a certain house on Elm Street where an evil entity lies in wait. Each of the discs in the A Nightmare On Elm Street Collection offers cast and crew biographies and Jump To A Nightmare buttons. The first and last movies (A Nightmare On Elm Street and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare) in the set also offer audio commentary by Mr. Craven himself. Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare adds a Jump To The 3-D Sequence button (glasses included in the box). See Special Features for the extras included on the separate disc in this box set and consult the DVD-ROM Review for specifics on those features.

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced picture, viewed in component video exhibits sharp and detailed images with nicely rendered background detail and definition, though the picture is sometimes softly focused. Colors are naturally rendered throughout. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered with a natural gradation between darkness and picture black. Minor pixelization is occasionally apparent, but there are no artifacts. During the "Walk Down Memory Lane 3-D" scene the color fidelity is poor but the effect is truly dimensional when wearing the supplied 3-D glasses. The anamorphic and letterbox aspect ratio measures 1.85:1.

Soundtrack:
The remastered discrete 5.1 Dolby® Digital soundtrack is spatially enveloping though virtually monaural in character with an occasional directionalized surround effect. Bass enhancement is often effective when .1 LFE is engaged. The music score is expansive, though at times quite forward sounding. Dialogue generally sounds processed and spatially lacks convincing integration. Still, the sonics deliver the chills that will make this nightmare a delight.
