A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 The Dream Master

(15)

Proving there’s no rest for the wicked, the unspeakably evil Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) is again resurrected from the grave to wreak havoc upon those who dare to dream. But this time, he faces a powerful new adversary!

As her friends succumb one by one to Freddy’s wrath, telepathically gifted Kristen embarks on a desperate mission to destroy the satanic dream stalker and release the tortured souls of his victims once and for all.

Directed by Renny Harlin and loaded with killer effects and drop-dead humor, this is a “superior horror picture that balances wit and gore with imagination and intelligence.” - LA Times.

Wow, I was very impressed with this entry into the series. I thought it might be tame in the gore department considering it only rated 15 (the previous three movies were all rated 18) but it's actually just as gorey as the first three movies - if not more so. I think that this is the scariest of the four movies that I've seen. There are a few funny parts in the movie as it is partly a black comedy but it still manages to be suspenseful and scary.
