My Ranking Of The A Nightmare On Elm Street Films From Worse To Best

 


Nightmare fans since it's been a really freaking long time since i've talked about A Nightmare On Elm Street I thought that i'd tell you all what my own personal ranking is for these films. Just to make things a little bit easier on myself i'm not going to be counting the crossover film Freddy Vs. Jason since that film is based in a different continuity and i'm only including as it bares the A Nightmare On Elm Street so yeah enjoy this post everybody.

8) FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE
 

Now then I think we can all agree that out of the original timeline of films that this film is very quite freaking easily the worst film in the A Nightmare On Elm Street canon. This is simply because this film takes anything that was left intact be the fifth film and completely throws it out of the window and this film turns Freddy Krueger into quite literally a cartoon character which just doesn't make the character that freaking scary at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this film also follows the trend of the much more later A Nightmare On Elm Street filmed sequels. Just by adding in alot more humor and while yes these films have always had humor in them they were always dark jokes that only Freddy would get and thud find funny but in this film it's like decided to make a comedy but also wanted to make some money and so they took a preexisting comedy script and turned very freaking badly into a A Nightmare On Elm Street film script in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

7) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2010 FILM VERSION



Now then horror remakes are the absolutely bane of any self respecting horror fans life since when they are done good we get films like The Thing but when they are done bad we get the next film in this post. Since yeah this film is nothing more then a by the books remake with scenes from the original that are terribly freaking remade in this film with those just being done to remind us all that we could be watching a much better freaking film in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I will give this film some small credit by least attempting to make Freddy Krueger scary again the issue with that is however tho is that they also try to make actually funny again and so Freddy Krueger himself is trying to be two different things at once. With none of those things working because of the fact that this film is written by two people whom cannot write a decent screenplay between them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

6) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5: THE DREAM CHILD 


Now then this film continues the trend of the later A Nightmare On Elm Street sequels going of the rails and also this film also kind of jumps the shark. Just simply by having Freddy Krueger ride a skateboard altho you could very well argue that the second film had Freddy Krueger jump the shark first but in this film it was just done in such a corny that oddly out of character for the actual of Freddy Krueger to be actually riding a freaking skateboard in this freaking film in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

So no then once again I will give this film some form of credit for least continuing forward with continuity from the previous films. Since would be something that actual die hard fans of this franchise would love and appreciate but at the same time this film could have done with having an actually better script since yeah this freaking film is just freaking weird for sake of being weird as all heck in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

5) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE


Now then this film is perhaps the most polarizing film in the A Nightmare On Elm Street film and multi media franchise. Since even tho this film breaks the already established rules of the franchise it also praised for touching upon gay themes something which the writer of this film admitted was fully intentional which admittedly was a very brave thing of this writer to very freaking openly admit to doing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now I really cannot forgive this film openly and so brazenly breaking all of the rules that were set u and thus established in the first film. Since it's those exact same rules that made the first film alot more creepy and scary then what it already was and if you going to break those rules then you better have a dammed good freaking reason for freaking doing so in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

4) A NIGHTMAARE ON ELM SCTREET 4: THE DREAM MASTER


Now then we are finally into the actually freaking good A Nightmare On Elm Street films and what better film to start of these actually good films with then one that what is considered to be a fan favourite A Nightmare On Elm Street film. I have to say that out of the later sequels e this one is quite easily one of the freaking most fun freaking films to watch in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this film does indeed mark the decline in quality of the A Nightmare On Elm Streets and as well as the fact that from this film to The Dream Child they would have Freddy Krueger do something that's just for the freaking kids. Which doesn't work out the well at all I mean it's fine for one film to try and appeal to the teenage audience but when the very next film also does that it just comes across as being cheap and very freaking pandering in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

3) WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE


Now then alot of people really do hate this film and I have no idea why since it's actually well written later A Nightmare On Elm Street film sequel. On top of that it does something new with the idea of Freddy Krueger simply by having this film focus on the actors whom have appeared in the alot of the A Nightmare On Elm Street films which is in all honesty such a freaking good idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I can fully understand why alot of people really do hate this film but at the same freaking time. This is a film that brought the A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise back from the dead and put it back into the hands of it's original creator Wes Craven and that is something that you have to like about this film regardless of what your own personal opinions are about this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

2) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS


Now then out of all the A Nightmare On Elm Street sequels this film is quite easily the best sequel in this freaking franchise. Simply because it not respects the lore and it respects the rules of this franchise but it also advances the franchises overall story arc and it also makes Freddy Kruger the strongest that he's ever been which is something that alot of the sequels in this franchise just fail to do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then the best choice that new Line Cinema made when making this film was letting original franchise creator Wes Craven write this film because whom else would know this franchise and these characters better then him. Altho Wes Craven's original was a bit out there to say the least the core of the story was more then strong enough to survive through all of the rewrites of the script and that helped make this film even freaking better then it already is / was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

1) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 1984 FILM VERSION


Now then of course this film was going to be the very top of this post because of the fact that it's the film that started it all. Which means that everybody involved with the making of this film had to be really freaking creative and that means that this film would only turn out to be good because once you get alot of people actually being creative you end up with a really freaking good film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very freaking post well then boys and girls and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this post from the official A Nightmare On Elm Street fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that are actually from this film and that that I personally / actually used in this very review being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has alot of images from this film and plus alot of / nearly all of the images that are from this film and that are currently up on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition and as always we end this review as we always do which is with one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams indeed.

There are alot of horror films that sadly don't get alot of attention from either the mainstream audience or die hard horror fans alike....
