Nothing new here folks. More of the same inspired by koolmike and steelbas' threads respectfully.
To my knowledge when we've rehashed and/or discussed anything Nightmare in the past. UHM hasnt really been a fan fav of this series. Nevertheless, here it is again for another go around.
For me, I've always enjoyed the series. Even though im a hardcore F13 fan first and foremost. I feel like the Nightmare series ultimately was the best made from top and bottom. It didnt take itself too seriously like the Halloween series and it was simply better made from top to bottom than the Friday series IMO. I like Jason over Freddy in terms of character but even then its decidedly better from a written standpoint with Freddy.
With that said. I'd say the best sequel would be New Nightmare. Much like Friday 5 and Halloween 3. This film outside of Nightmare 2 gets a mixed rep from many but I've always enjoyed it the most. It brings back hottie Heather Langenkamp along with the rest of the cast/crew from Nightmare 1 minus Depp who would've taken a cameo in New Nightmare but Wes got cold feet during the process. The movie was dark like the original and Freddy was made to be more of a demon thats just there with no boundaries compared to what the character was for afew sequels prior.
Now the worst sequel is probably a toss up between 4 and 5 IMO. I honestly didnt have much of a problem with Part 2 spite its flaws and I enjoy parts 3 and 6 so it comes down to 4 and 5. I'd lean towards 4 oddly enough. Even though 4 is probably the best from a technical standpoint. It really came off to me as Nightmare 3 with much less of everything that made 3 so good. While Part 5 gets alot of shit. I felt like 5 tried to take itself a bit more seriously. It also had some nice kills and I felt Lisa Wilcox as Alice was much better than what she was in Part 4.
So in the end IMO.
Best - New Nightmare
Worst - Dream Master
