Alice, who survived Freddy in the past, is pregnant but is finding that Freddy has different plans for her unborn baby. the visual effect's and the make-up are the only good things in the movie because this movie stinks of shit.

Action: 2/3 + Comedy: 0/2 + Love/Sex: 0.5/1 + Plot: 0.5/1 + Music: 0.5/1 + Good vs. Evil: 0.5/1 + Special Effects: 1/1 = 5/10 or 50%. It's over man, game over!

And now we begin the descent into madness as the Elm Street series begins to wrap up. You could tell from the beginning of this one that they were seriously desperate for ideas and that anything would do at this point. Once again we have Freddy resurrecting for no apparent reason other than cash for the studio. As a horror figure, he's not even interesting anymore, rather the movies have become more about the subpar deaths than the fear factor.

Another rather large and obvious downfall is the soundtrack, …
