Not as perfect as 1 & 3 but still very good and entertaining!
Added 10/3/2009
The Dream Master was the last enjoyable and entertaining Freddy film unless you liked New Nightmare which did something different with the character and story. Nightmare 4 (directed by Renny Harlin who would go on to direct the awesome action flick with his then wife Geena Davis, The Long Kiss Goodnight) has fun, memorable dream sequences, good actors/characters and a good story. After picking off the remaining Elm Street kids from part 3, Freddy is looking for more kids to kill so he can take their souls and gain more power. Kristen from part 3 passes her special gift onto friend Alice who Freddy uses to reach the new bunch of teenagers. All in all, this installment was very well done. It's certainly much better than part 2, 5 and 6, but not as great as part 1 & 3. This is a neat follow-up to the Dream Warriors and deserves to be in any horror fans collection. A lot of people do not like the comical side of Freddy. While it lacks the darkness and scariness of the original, take it as a fun thrill ride that provides plenty of entertainment and you won't be disappointed!

NOT AS GOOD AS PART 3, BUT STILL ENTERTAINING! 2 1/2 STARS!
Added 4/14/2009
I am reviewing the entire Nightmare on Elm Street series, but not this DVD release. I own the box set and I wanted to do individual reviews for each film.
By now the "Nightmare" franchise is replacing scares for laughs, but it does deliver some good FX moments. Robert Englund has played the character so many times he can do it in his sleep! The DVD transfer is very good on this entry and the disc has some cool goodies to check out.

Freddy''s Funniest Film
Added 3/27/2009
This doesn't have the well-known cast of the previous Nightmare 3 movie but the special effects are still good.....each very different and some of them very funny. They make this perhaps the most entertaining entry in the series.
I mean, where else can you see terrfied faces on pepperoni slices (on a pizza)?!
The storyline, however, features its usual dumb and ridiculous theology and has its usual share of unlikable obnoxious teens. Their parents weren't pictured as any better, perhaps worse.In fact, the kids and parents are so bad you wind up rooting for Freddy to do them in.
Perhaps that's the idea!

Five, six get a crucifix

Wow, I was very impressed with this entry into the series. I thought it might be tame in the gore department considering it only rated 15 (the previous three movies were all rated 18) but it's actually just as gorey as the first three movies - if not more so.
The Nightmare On Elm Street series just keeps gettin beter and better, this movie was very suspencefull and gorey and the deaths - in usual Freddy style - were inventive. I think that this is the scariest of the four movies that I've seen. There are a few funny parts in the movie as it is partly a black comedy but it still manages to be suspenceful and scary.
