Freddy Krueger, meet your down-fall: Alice Cooper.........

This movie was my second favourite Nightmare on Elm street movie, only tied with the first one, (the 3rd is my favourite)
some of the deaths were terrible but altogether still a good movie, who knew it would lead to such a bad sequel: the dream child. For those who are fans of Freddy, this may not be your favourite but it is still a good movie.So what are you waiting for? either hurry up and buy it or go rent it!!

Summary: Why The Dream master is a great sequel.
Review: I just got the nightmare on Elm Street collection!!! Sorry 'bout that,but I can't get over the fabulousness of it. Anyway the Dream Master. I really liked this one! Ok, it's not very gory but the death sequences are really imaginative. Another of the best things about it I thought was how it was in sync well with Dream warriors. It picks up with Kristen, Kincade and Joey who are still recovering from the previous movie(who wouldn't be?} But as the well-paced film move along the focus shifts from Kristen to Alice. Alice gains the strengh from her departed friends where as Freddy gets their souls.Alice's personality changes as more people are killed,and she also gains power eg Kristen's ability to pull others into her dream. And when her brother Rick is killed..(sob)..Alice aquires his fighting skills, prepareing her for the inevitable battle with Freddy.The acting is great especially Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. Lisa Wilcox also does a great job as the troubled Alice, who has dramatic personality changes. The charicters are likeable(especially Rick) instead of tedious which is great and one of the distinguisting features in all the Elm Street movies.It's not exactly scary, but The Dream Master is one hell of a great movie, well paced, well done and well acted. This was Deathgirl, telling you why The Dream master is a great sequel and an excelent movie in general.Mind over matter.

Summary: This Movie is a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is a terrible Movie, I mean, they never Thought about the deaths. Example, someguy just gets stabed in the stomach and when they showed it, it did not show not even a drop of blood! And one more thing, there is a long nudeity scene and I know why they showed it, because they were desprate!
Got Milk?

Summary: Freddy youst to be scary
Review: THIS IS MOVIE IS THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO HORROR SINCE LEPRECHAN. The first Nightmare on Elm Street was good. That's what got my hopes up. I finally see it and it's almost as bad as The Perfect Score. I think that the incredible horror of Freddy Kruger got lost in cheesy special effects by this movie. The Freddy that made me afraid to sleep would have never turned a girl into a cocroach. Freddy might as well have just thrown away his glove after part 2. All of the above made it stupid. This is why it wasn't scary. It had no dunts. For those of you out of the know, I'll give you a dictionary definition of a dunt.
Dunt-dunt-A moment in horror movies where a scary image showing up very suddenly,such as a killer jumping out from behind the door and catch you off guard. Often times accompanied by a loud noise.
THIS MOVIE HAD NONE. that, my friends is why I HATE THIS MOVIE

Summary: A highly entertaining, transitional entry in the series
Review: While things may have become a little predictable by the time of the fourth Freddy film, I think this is a great movie; it is certainly an important one because it serves as a necessary transition between the early films and the later sequels. After all, the supply of Elm Street kids borne of Freddy's killers is limited; there are only three such kids still alive as this movie begins, and if there's one thing Freddy hates it's a survivor. Once these last three are gone, what is Freddy going to do? This film answers that question. It also delivers some deliciously creative deaths and witty repartee a la Krueger. It bolsters and redefines the balance between what has been and what will be, keeping the series fresh while maintaining the overall continuity. The very focus of the action completely changes midway through the film, something you would never see in many a horror film or series.

I think the film starts off very effectively, wisely holding off on the introduction of Freddy until such time as the audience has settled in to the story. This is particularly important because one of the three returning survivors from the previous film, Kristen, is now played by Tuesday Knight rather than Patricia Arquette. Kristen is crucial to this film because she has the power to pull other people into her nightmares, and this serves as the conduit for Freddy's reappearance. The physical manifestation of Freddy's rebirth is quite memorable, informing us of one special liquid that obviously nullifies the power of holy water. I think the film also does a fairly good job of introducing us to the new "fresh meat," and this becomes important because the new dream master who emerges here (Alice played by Lisa Wilcox) incorporates aspects of each of the victims in terms of her own strength for the final fight against Freddy. As for our Freddy, he wastes no time in getting back to work after his return, and this film boasts some very colorful, impressive kills: the Jaws scene is a true classic. The sight of Robert Englund in a nurse's outfit is pretty darn hard to force out of your head, but with one exception (that being the roach motel kill) I found all of Freddy's ingenious handiwork quite a joy to watch.

Is the movie perfect? No. Besides the one unsatisfactory kill, the movie also chooses to use one terribly clichéd scene toward the beginning of the end. These small weaknesses are more than offset by the strength of the transitional storyline, the continuity of this film in the overall series, the colorful and impressive nature of the kills (and there are more kills in this movie than you will find in the first and third installments), and the wickedly funny tongue of the always delightful Mr. Krueger. Things get a little corny in the end, but this film certainly offers a memorable ending. I remember going home from the theater and worrying that this might have been the final Elm Street movie because things really aren't looking too good for our old friend Freddy when the credits start to roll. This film is not as good as the first and third films, nor does it reveal any new secrets surrounding Freddy's origins, but it is a must-see, very entertaining sojourn in Freddy's Dreamland. On a final note, viewers will certainly notice a souped-up soundtrack for this film, as Elm Street 4 injects some energetic rock and roll into the viewing experience. Let the ending credits roll if you want to hear our Freddy doing a little rapping; you don't want to miss that.

Summary: Nightmare 4
Review: In 1984, director Wes Craven (scream fame, Last House on the Left) brought us a terrifing trip in to relm of dreams, creating quiet possibily the most sinister and horrifing vilian in movie history. The film was a sleeper hit, scarying audience around the world, so ofcourse they would make sequels.
When it comes to the Nightmare sequels..there were few and far between that were able to top the original. Begining with part two (which was a total and complete failuer), then there was the Dream Warriors ( a very creepy and at times wickedly funny), now were too Nightmare 4: The Dream master-
Now when it comes to true scares..(this is probily one of the weakest of the sequels), but sheer entertainment..(it is probely the best). directed wounderfuly by Renny Harlen (Die Hard 2, Long kiss good night), nighmare 4 is visually stunning film, whith spectacular special FX and Make up FX.

Overal great and entertaining film that your sure to enjoy-

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: ENJOYABLE SEQUEL,BUT NOT THAT GOOD.
Review: This movie had some great moments and special effects but it lacked the dark flavor of the previous sequels.This is the real beginning of the comic freddy krueger and some of the characters I didnt really care for.I cant say that the movie was bad but I cant really say that the movie was great.Some people may really like this movie but I prefer the previous sequels to this one.PEACE OUT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best Nightmare series out of all!
Review: Ok, the first one was scary, the second one was scarier, the third one is gore, and this one is far by the scariest. I've rented it and I was like damn it is scary when the girl turns into a roach in the box I was like it's like the same as in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids but the movie isn't that scary on that but in Nightmare it is. But this is the best to the follow up of Dream Warriors it's like another Poltergeist. I got to get me the set Freddy Kruger I love it scarier then Friday the 13th.
