There’s been a wide variety of entries in the Freddy Knife Hands series, but finally, finally, we got the entry that makes zero sense and is a bonkers good time. No, this film is not good, and no, it does not appear to have actually employed a competent editor. Although that may be the fault of the studio more than anyone involved in the production. Nevertheless, THINGS HAPPEN in this movie, and it’s beyond weird and messy and hilarious and gory and sometimes, that’s all you really want from your "final” entry in a horror franchise. We discuss Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
