Freddy's Nightmares - Episodes 16-20 Reviews

I know it's been a few months since I've done this but hopefully I can finish this series before the year is out. Let's look into these batch of episodes.

Episode 16: Cabin Fever 

Brett Cullen's one of those actors I occasionally seeing things and I think "I know that guy". In one of his earliest acting roles, he popped up here as an airline heir enduring the worst flight of his life. It's also a flight that landed him straight into Hell with the build up to that realisation being handled particularly well. The second half then focused on a lovlorn hostess trying to find love in all the wrong places. Needless to say, her quest for romance ended up seriously dooming her. Robert Englund directed this episode. 7/10

Episode 17: Love Stinks

Well, the first story had it's male protagonist, Adam cheat on his girlfriend with another girl and then spent most of the first half of the episode realising what a big mistake that was. The second story involved Max getting to work at a pizza place (formerly Beefy Boy) with his obnoxious uncle trying to undermine him. There's a familiar element to this story but it's handled recently enough. 6/10

Episode 18: The Art Of Death

What if you had the power to draw things into life? That was the first half of this episode. Awkward guy was able to bring things to life through his comics. This also meant putting the girl he had a crush on in danger. The second half dealt with the trauma the girl went through. The episode could've allowed her to heal but instead, it amplified her trauma and then ended things for her on a horrible note. 5/10

Episode 19: Missing Persons 

One of my favourite episodes so far. You've got a babysitter named Gina (Eva LaRue). She have to look after two bratty kids but her issues with food and her looks reared their head and she turned into a monster, who then exploded. Then it turned out that Gina was a young girl with weight issues and then her babysitter looked very familiar. The second half focused on Gina's father making a life trade that he ended up regretting. Oh and his mistress looked incredibly familiar. 8/10

Episode 20: The Light At The End Of The Tunnel

This one just bored me. There was a guy trying to conquer his fear of the dark by working in a sewer. Then there was a plot with a pornographer being trapped in his nightmares. Honestly, I just didn't care about either story. 4/10

Next blog I'll cover Identity Crisis, Safe Sex, Dreams Come True, Heartbreak Hotel and Welcome To Springwood.
