NIGHTMARE 4
6 December 1998
"A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master" is a film I rather liked. Sure, it trades the dark, disturbing format of the first three films for a lighter, more colorful approach but as least it has a good story. I loved watching the path of young Alice (played by a great actress named Lisa Wilcox) as she went from a tepid school-girl to a Ripley-like butt-kicker.

Set back at the old high school, the film takes out the fantasy gore and replaces it with special-effects that are both gross and silly. The result: a pop-culture cartoon full of bright, dazzling visuals. If you like Freddy as he might be seen by the South Park kids, you'd probably like this fourth installment.
