1- No More Mr. Nice Guy

This is the first and darn near the worst of the FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES series. It's a colossally horrendous retelling of Freddy Kruegger's trial and death by vigilantes. If you thought director Tobe Hooper (I can't believe this guy made the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) was making trash when he did THE MANGLER or SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION or CROCODILE, you ain't seen nothin' yet. It doesn't even follow the Wes Craven-dictated story of his last days, to boot!

You would think that the show at least used this pilot as a jumping-off point for some new Freddy adventures, but more than half of the episodes that follow have NOTHING TO DO WITH FREDDY WHATSOEVER. Making the pilot all about Freddy was completely pointless because the show really isn’t about Freddy at all.

Clumsy shots and editing, poor performances, and a general feeling that no one's really trying make this a pathetic start to the series.
