It's true that both 5 and 6 are low points for the franchise but because of the sheer creativity and ingenuity especially in this film I still feel captivated by it. Picking up a year after the events of 4 alice and dan are now graduating high school with a new group of friends. Freddy finds his way back through Alice's unborn child. The kills are creative but not as effective or inventive as the last 2 entries. What is impressive is the stylish cinematography and dark gothic imagery. Freddy is pretty much a flat out comedian but Robert's performance is still intoxicating. As for the new kids they're good enough as is Alice and Dan. But there definitely is more of an amateur quality to the writing and performances this time around. All in all it's still fun with a stylized creative edge and a definite appreciation for the subjects that are explored. Teen pregnancy, unwed motherhood, sanity, parental expectations and their effect, etc.
