This is that sort of movie you have to be in a very particular frame of mind to enjoy fully. Forget high art and save your brain cells for something else, because this goes into the 'so bad it's good' category.
Wes Craven, the man that created the spectacular Freddy Krueger, seems to be completely off his game here. Or was he?.. At every turn, it feels like all his directorial choices were purposefully wrong, somehow. The 'scissor hands', the outrageous blue make-up, the robot's design, subplots that go nowhere... Everything is slightly off but hilarious and memorable.
Be that as it may, the film is a masterpiece in giving you tons of fun and entertainment!
