The Rating
After narrowly escaping from the clutches of the evil Fred Krueger, Alexis Murphy wakes up and finds herself incarcerated at Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital.
There, she discovers that her cell-mate and all the other troubled teens locked up there have a horrid past with Krueger, and were sent away because of it.
It doesn't take Freddy long to find her, and one-by-one, he hacks up the teens, all in an attempt to get who he really wants-- Lexi, one of the few who have actually escaped his demented wrath.
With nowhere else to turn, Lexi must turn to some unexpected help, and dig deep down inside herself to survive, but the question remains, can she do it?
A.J.: 8.5/10, It is impossible for Matt to be able to outdo himself from his smash-hit Freddy debut of Springwood Slasher. However, he almost pulled it off. He picked up perfectly with his lead character of Lexi from where he left off in Slasher, developing her into an even stronger character then before. The Man in Black angle played out perfect and caught even me by surprise, and the fact that the novel takes place inside Westin Hills was a great idea and tribute to Dream Warriors. Freddy was of course flawless yet again, with brilliant, thought-out kills that only Matt could muster up. The only thing that I saw wrong with this novel compared to his first was that the supporting characters never developed as well as Matt may have wanted them to. Overall, the novel itself turned out to be pretty damn good, and would put to shame any other garbage Freddy novels out there.
Total Score: 8.5 out of 10.
Average Score: 8.5.
Percentage Score: 85 percent.
