| Your fave psycho-sandman is back! It's that one-man sleep-disorder, the unspeakably demonic Freddy Krueger, returning with a vengeance. But wait. This time around, the fiendish Freddy is up against a powerful new adversary! After beautiful youn Kristen sees the remaining Elm Street kids succumb one by one to Freddy's razor-edged wrath, she embarks on a desperate mission to release the tortured souls of Freddy's victims once and for all. Can this lone Dream Master defeat the satanic dream stalker? Or will she have to wake up to the fact that no one is ever really ready...for Freddy? A special-effects filled descent into sheer unrelenting terror! | ||||||||||||||||||||

| CRITICAL COMMENTS | ||||||||||||||||||||
| "Series was showing its age by this point, with extravagant effects in control of a thin story, and Freddy given far too many wisecracks." -- Leonard Maltin | ||||||||||||||||||||
|

| "In the best Nightmares, Parts 1 and 3, the bad dreams not only made sense, but reinforced the idea of pattern psychosis and brought viewers into the dreamscapes. In 4, they're just cold splashes in the face. Speaking of patterns, it seems that the odd-numbered Nightmares are the best, the even ones the worst. | ||||||||||||||||||||
