As the series drags on, the inventiveness of murders decreases slightly but Freddy's humor continues to entertain.

The Dream Master has a sort of constant level of goofy idiocy.

Bottomless grab-bag from the 80s TV subconscious, riffing on Jaws, Karate Kid, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, with a palette that would make Joel Schumacher queasy

Renny Harlin's finest moment. That should tell you something.

A good sequel in the series directed by trash auteur Renny Harlin with just the right flair.

Despite Robert Englund's cheerful ghoulishness, there is nothing about Freddy Kreuger that justifies his iconic status… as this dismal sequel demonstrates.

The major downfall of the Elm Street series. Turned Freddy into a joke. A bad joke, at that.
