But yeah, it's at this point that the franchise starts making stuff up as they go along as far as Freddy's powers changing to fit the plot requirements and the way in which the films start shilling "no seriously, THIS is how you defeat Freddy for good!" plot devices to defeat Freddy. <br /><br />That said, Part 4 works decently as a film and continuation of Part 3. NOES always did better than Halloween and FT13 when it came to continuity and consistent tone, even when you factor in Part 2 and it's oddball status into the equation. <br /><br />Looking forward to reading your thoughts on Part 5 (which like FT13 Part 7, was heavily cut for theaters, though unlike Part 7 of FT13, eventually saw the light of day fully uncut on VHS) JesseBakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05284224057733112692noreply@blogger.com
