Product Description

Product Description

Fourth instalment of the nightmarish slasher saga. Freddy has now killed off all the children of the parents who originally burnt him to death. Now he's starting to kill their teenage friends. Luckily, Alice Johnson (Lisa Wilcox), one of the endangered kids, has the special ability to bring others into her dreams. She is the Dream Master, and therefore the only one who can stop the razor-fingered prankster from wreaking more of his murderous havoc.

From Amazon.co.uk

By this time, A Nightmare on Elm Street series was definitely flagging and no amount of overkill style from promising Finnish director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2) covers for the fact that the screenplay (partially by LA Confidential Oscar winner Brian Helgeland) is a hash of thrown-together scenes and ideas with no coherence whatsoever. The pizza-faced child murderer returns from that limbo he inhabits between sequels and kills off all the characters left over from Part Three (the wonderfully named Tuesday Knight briefly takes over Patricia Arquette's role) before going after a new batch of uncharacterised, blatantly only-in-this-film-to-be-killed teens. The special effects highlight is a girl turning into a giant cockroach, though Harlin also includes more imaginative recurring and repeating nightmares. Lisa Wilcox is the new heroine, and Robert Englund finally gets top billing. --Kim Newman

You’ll notice that I say ‘Freddy’ at his best. In Part 4 of the popular horror franchise, Robert Englund gets top billing and for a reason… he’s definitely the best part of the film. He’s back as the undead child-killer who attacks teenagers in their dreams and this time… well, who cares, right?

By Part 4 of any horror franchise you pretty much know the set-up. Teens. They dream. They die. It’s all pretty standard. However, as I mentioned, what makes it worth seeing is Freddy. He’s truly deliciously evil, obviously revelling in his own grisly performance. Plus (and I always thought this aspect elevated the Freddy films over the ‘Jason films’) because the death scenes happen in a ‘dream world’ they are always a lot more imaginative and fun than simply seeing a man in a hockey mask chopping a semi-naked teen up.

Personally, I enjoy seeing Freddy have fun and ‘mess’ with his victims. I think it makes him more evil. However, some long-standing fans of the franchise felt that Freddy was getting too ‘comical’ to be taken seriously. That’s one opinion, but I disagree.

Basically, Nightmare 4 is worth a look if you’re a fan of the franchise or like cheesy eighties horror films. Just don’t expect great acting from anyone other than Englund. The other actors really don’t seem to be up to the job (or, to be fair on them, this fault could lie with the writers/director) and recite their stilted dialogue with all the conviction of a cheap daytime soap. But then I don’t watch this film for them. It’s Freddy all the way.

By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 8 Jun. 2013
Format: DVD
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master is directed by Renny Harlin and written by Brian Helgeland and Scott Pierce. It stars Robert Englund, Lisa Wilcox, Andras Jones, Tuesday Knight, Ken Sagoes, Rodney Eastman and Brooke Theiss. Music is by John Easdale and Craig Safan and cinematography by Steven Fierberg.

Freddy Krueger (Englund) is back again to finish off the last of the Dream Warriors, but when he enters the dreams of a new girl, Alice Johnson (Wilcox), he gets more than he bargained for...

In spite of part three being something of a return to form for the Elm Street franchise, it still signalled the point where Krueger as a character started to become more fun villain than a terrifying presence. By the time this fourth instalment rolled around, Krueger was iconic for sure, but also he was a marketing tool for merchandise, even getting his own spin-off TV show. Where once was this vile child murderer invading the dreams of children and killing them, now is a guy selling dolls and someone more known for a quip than a kill.

Dream Master follows the basic Elm Street formula, Krueger returns to kill more kids in their dreams. The methods range from the icky (insect) to the impressive (pizza), and the effects work is mostly enjoyable. The tying up of loose ends shows some modicum of thought in the writing, while the big finale is actually worth the wait. However, the acting away from a perky Wilcox is pretty poor and familiarity of formula does indeed breed contempt. It's just about above average as a whole, thanks in the main to the inventive kills, but as this third sequel coined it in at the box office, with that comes the basic fact that Kruegerville is a town built only for cash purposes. 6/10

I do not have a weak stomach but Elm Street 4 really made me sick including a scene that will put you off Pizza for a long time.It kept me scared but had some really gruesome scenes.This time Instead of having an unknown director we have Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2,Cliffhanger and Deep Blue Sea) directing the fourth film.If you enjoy openings with Freddy dicecting someone then the fourth film's opening will bore you.Freddy does have different ways of killing people on this including the water bed scene (which is not to be missed).So if your gonna rent a film and have a pizza don't pick Elm Street 4 but if you can handle gory scenes try it you might be impressed.

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.
