Keith's Horror Show Episode 8: Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise Ranking

Welcome to part 8 of Keith's Horror Show, the ranking series of different Horror film franchises Since I already spoke about Freddy vs Jason in the Friday the 13th ranking, I will not be ranking it here. 8th: Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 - It's an awful remake of a series I love, I like when Freddy is funny and brutal, but I don't like when he's like beyond that, if you've seen the movie you know what I mean. It just makes this version of Freddy unpleasant to watch, which isn't bad for the horror, but as a film in this franchise it's by far my least favorite, especially since the main actress fucking sucks and admits she only did this movie for a paycheck, like fuck off don't take the money if you don't wanna do the film, simple as that. The micro-naps concept is fascinating but not explored well enough. 7th: Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare - It's kinda goofy fun, but it's not a good film and it's just too goofy and campy to the point it's not that fun and it just becomes kinda dull. The plot is dumb, the cast isn't great, the acting is pretty awful, the kills suck, bad movie, but I liked it more than the remake. 6th: Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child - Some great kills, especially in the unrated versions, but the movie itself lacks in plot, isn't very well done and does too much gross out in some of the scenes for me to truly love it. 5th: Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge - The weirdest film in the series it's definitely higher for me than some people. I love the cast, I love how gay the movie is, other than that, it's not my favorite film in the series by a mile and it's just mostly pretty good-really good, but never hits the highest highs of the series, it's such a weird movie. 4th: Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master - Despite having a horrible script apparently, the director managed to save this movie with some fantastic sequences, a good cast, a lot of fun moments and some goofy stuff that never goes too far into campy. 3rd: Wes Craven's New Nightmare - An amazing film that definitely led the way to Scream's existence, which I will always praise it for, but Wes Craven's New Nightmare isn't better than the other 2 films above it, it's a fantastic film and absolutely worth a watch, but just top 3 for me. 2nd: Nightmare on Elm Street - The original is peak, fantastic, the writing is great, the cast is great, the kills are iconic and it actually had me scared to sleep the first time I watched it, fantastic movie. 1st: Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors - Best cast of the entire series, some of the best kills of the entire franchise, Freddy is still scary despite being more goofy in this film, I adore the series and this is the best one in my opinion. And with Nightmare on Elm Street down we now have 3 franchises left to go, finally nearing the end of this marathon.
