    Future Doctor Who director Rachel Talalay has been hovering in the Elm Street production team for a bit, and she gets to put the final(?) nail in Krueger's coffin by directing Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, for which she also gets the story credit. Within the first minute, she gives us our first WTF moment, as we learn that Springwood is now empty of children and teenagers. Freddy's killed them all. It's all so very post-apocalyptic. There's one survivor though, and Freddy lets him slip to the next town over where he might connect to other teens (ones in trouble at a shelter, in fact) so he can get at a fresh batch through his dreams. And off we go again. The kids are helped by Lisa Zane as a therapist with a strange connection to the Elm Street dreamscape, and Yaphet Kotto as a dream specialist slumming it at the shelter. I dare say this is the best-acted film in the franchise to date, by which I merely mean it's generally competent. It's also got some amusing cameos. AND it's still giving us new lore! Who WAS Freddy before he was killed? To end him, we have to go back to his beginnings. The kills? A mixed bag. Some great, some silly - you know, the usual. 4 months 4 weeks ago
