Director Renny Harlin can only do so much with a frequently silly story that finds Freddy brought back from the dead by, uh, fiery dog piss.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 20, 2024

The most visually imaginative entry in a series that enjoyed quite a bit of surreal creative leeway from the start...

| Dec 8, 2023

Dream Master is a colorful and energetic slasher for the M온라인카지노추천 generation. Freddy Krueger is the star and all the characters & set pieces exist solely to service his on-screen energy. The comedic edge of it's predecessor is unfortunately taken too far.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 20, 2022

The special effects continue to advance, particularly with a creative waterbed sequence, a hilarious human-meatball snack, and increased levels of bloodshed.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Sep 6, 2020

"A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master" is by far the best of the series, a superior horror picture that balances wit and gore with imagination and intelligence.

| Oct 5, 2018

The lesser of the "Nightmare" sequels, but serviceable more surreal one nevertheless...

| Sep 6, 2012

...an obvious low point within this incredibly uneven series.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 19, 2010

Surprisingly watchable for the third sequel and despite its general predictability it's entertainingly inventive.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 5, 2010

With each entry, the films become more removed from their source. Freddy just isn't scary anymore.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 5, 2010

Consistently watchable and inventive.

| Apr 5, 2010

Robert Englund, receiving star billing for the first time, is delightful in his frequent incarnations as Freddy, delivering his gag lines with relish and making the grisly proceedings funny.

| Mar 26, 2009

Not counting 1994's Wes Craven's New Nightmare, it's superior to all the other later sequels in the series.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 9, 2008

Fun, but not a shade on the earlier Elm Street flicks

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2008

As the series drags on, the inventiveness of murders decreases slightly but Freddy's humor continues to entertain.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 3, 2007

The Dream Master has a sort of constant level of goofy idiocy.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 12, 2007

Bottomless grab-bag from the 80s 온라인카지노추천 subconscious, riffing on Jaws, Karate Kid, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, with a palette that would make Joel Schumacher queasy

| Oct 31, 2006

Renny Harlin's finest moment. That should tell you something.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2006

While some of the monotonous effects are strikingly surreal, Harlin's direction creates an atmosphere which is more morbid than scary.
