Dude the 7th elm street was the best because it was way more than slasherfest, it was kinda a more successful version of scream (with life imitating and being affected by art) Elmstreet 3,4, 5 and 6 are pure garbage because it tried to establish a form of continuity which isn't always clever when the premise of the films are SCARY SLASHER DREAM KILLER.
A Nightmare Elm Street is my favorite movie ever, and the series as a whole, flaws in all, is still my favorite horror series. The 1st, 3rd and 7th movies were great, I thought. A lot of people don't like Part 4 because that's when Freddy became funny instead of scary, but it's still one my favorite sequels, because it's at least entertaining.
I was just saying, that as far as horror franchises go, the Saw movies have been the best at connecting each film together to lead to a bigger story. A Nightmare on Elm Street was great at this too, but some of the movies/characters were completely ignored in later sequels (probably for the better, but still).
I do agree that Saw became gory just for the sake of it after it's tame beginning, but this movie was pretty tame actually. In comparison to the others at least. Saw III was the worst in terms of gore.
It's baffeling how someone could still think that after being here for six years.
