    Amazingly funny

    Love this film! Not really getting the scary factor but think the use of make-up and special effects are hilarious and worth watching every time! Could be a good film to watch after a really terrifying movie

    Improving cheesy storylines!

    Whilst the first movie was very surreal & scary we get used to the general plot line. Tho. theres lots of stories to still achieve from this saga. I enjoyed & found this movie more scary then the previous 2 (3/4). I now have Freddy Dead on my list the 6th in the saga.
