    SPOILERS: The fifth installment in the Nightmare franchise was a big miss in my eyes. While it did have a couple of saving graces, for the most part it was another unnecessary entry into the franchise. I did enjoy how the lead in the film had an objective other than just killing Freddy in that they needed to locate the mysterious nun. My biggest issues with this movie are how dark it went and how offensive it became. The opening sequence went in a dark direction that was a little too disturbing for my taste. I also found it a bit offensive how they used an unborn fetus in such a negative light with this film. That just rubbed me the wrong way.
