Disagree. The first Elm Street is a stone cold classic and Dream Warriors/New Nightmare were really solid horror films. Some of the later ones were shitty, yeah, but even at their worst, they showed a lot more creativity and competent filmmaking than anything Ft13th ever did. Hellraiser is uneven, but it's got a way better premise than "retarded teenagers who never learn get killed by a zombie over and over again".
I don't hate the film, but it just slowly unraveled after a cool opening third. It's original run time was 210 minutes; it got released at 96 minutes, so it got butchered in the editing room.
I'd just as soon see a version more faithful to the book - Molasar resembles Dracula more than the off rack Darkseid looking being in the movie - with up to date CGI that gets it right.
