Summary: You could easily fall asleep hrough this.
Review: This is the last Nightmare On Elm Street film I'd show to a hater of the series to try and convert them. It's filled with everything the critics hate about Freddy films. For a start the special effects seem to have been deemed more important than any kind of decent script. Freddy is no more than a wise-cracking clown, the sets are garish and any suspence is swiftly killed off by painful over-acting. The ending is very good special-effects-wise, but plot-wise it's the feeblest (anti)climax I've ever seen in a horror film. The heroine shows Freddy has reflction! What is he, Medusa the Gorgan? Freddy had actually already seen his reflection in this film in some shining barbells, so the whole scene just falls flat on its face. If you're a fan of Freddy films then there's a few memorable moments, but this is more of a teen idol film than a horror film, the series producers obviously milking every last drop from the Freddy character.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good movie
Review: this movie is a great movie, another very well done movie. well acted movie, very good story line but doesn't have the scaring ability as 3 and 1 had.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How good the music and movie mixes in
Review: This installment is one of THE BEST of the Nightmare films i've ever seen in a while.The music and the script sort of scares you when Freddy's sneaking up behind someone.I LOVE IT!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fast and exciting
Review: The movie is intersting right from the start. If you know the story behind the movies then you must watch this one. It picks up right where the third left off. You will feel the power of the action in every scene due to the use of some powerful music. The soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard in a film of this type. I am very big horror fan and I recommend this one to anyone who hasn't seen it yet!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Best Nightmare movie of them all
Review: The Dream Master is the best Nightmare on Elm street out of them all. I love special effects and it scared me a lot more then any other. You will enjoy this film even if you don't like the others.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Belongs on the comedy shelf
Review: This was the first of the horrible NOES sequels. First of all, Patricia Arquette did not return to reprise her role as Kristin. Second, Freddy was supposed to be scary?? With all his wisecracking and stupid humor, he seemed like a washed up has been comedian. Trust me on this one, any ANOES's after part 3 is a waste of money.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Too much comedy, too little horror
Review: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master" is a much more lighter film in the series that doesn't seem to take itself seriously at all. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) gets resurrected by flaming dog urine(!) and kills off the remaining Dream Warriors from Part 3. One of them, Kristen Parker (Tuesday Knight), transfers her gift to her friend Alice (Lisa Wilcox) and the killing starts again for a new breed of Elm Street kids. Now, the pros: the visuals are outstanding, very stylish film, with lots of color, light and great special effects. The cons: The acting stinks, except for Lisa Wilcox's. Freddy cracks too many one liners. The murders are stupid (girl being turned into a cockroach? ). A pizza with faces on it? What happened to the sinister, dark Freddy from the first film? It seems he is non-existant in this entry. Luckily, things get a little darker in the next installment and in Part 7. This is for fans of the series only.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Four down; three to go
Review: Sigh... like the first three 'Nightmare' flicks, the fourth one doesn't strike me as bein' all that scary. Sure there's the usual gruesome imagery that made me go "ugh"-- the whole roach-motel dealie bein' one of these "ugh" moments-- but otherwise I didn't exactly jump outta my skin or have any sudden arrhythmia attacks while watchin' this. The only real gross-out part for me was near the end, where all the souls of the kids Freddy took out try to bust out of him. I also wasn't too big on the somewhat silly manner in which Freddy gets 'killed' here; I mean, really-- a look at his own reflection in a cracked mirror is what does him in? How underwhelming...

But in spite of my less-than-rave-review of this flick, I did enjoy the silliness of its courageous yet hokey and predictable attempts at givin' me a fright. Helping things out was the usual array of inventive Freddy kills & gags to keep things fresh (heh) including the aforementioned roach motel dealie, a waterbed drowning, a deflation and a frighteningly-fun shot at 'Jaws'.I also liked our fave undead madman's turn into a more comedic figure while still maintaining that menacing edge. And they even managed to improve the look of Freddy's 'burn' makeup/appliance job, which looks almost realistic in this go-'round. I guess New Line finally decided to pump some real money into the franchise, hmmm? Heh...

'Late
