To cap off the Nightmare Retrospective, I rank all nine Nightmare On Elm Street features from best to worst.

A cynical, boring cash grab that loses all of the charm of the franchise while clumsily mishandling too many heavy themes.

A fresh, frightening and brilliant love letter to the franchise that takes a moment to consider the impact and role of horror on culture.

A rather insubstantial but satisfyingly entertaining horror action spectacle.

A gigantic trainwreck of a finale with a nonsense plot and some of the most obnoxious comedy of the series.

A clumsy, nonsensical and overall boring sequel with some minor highlights that don't do much to improve the film.
