The surviving Dream Warriors return in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, even if Patricia Arquette's character has been recast, and of course, so does Freddy. He's got a great resurrection scene and it doesn't feel like a cheat even after the previous effort's finale. Since Part 3's cast was pegged as the last of the Elm Street kids, Freddy in fact needs a new crop, so as the baton passes to new Final Girl Alice (Lisa Wilcox), the "Dream Master" of the title with new abilities to fight the nightmares (after Dream Warriors set the tone with its D&D party/superhero team element), and through her, he accesses more dreams and more teenage cannon fodder (bad acting and all). Again the horror gags are pretty loopy and original, and this is, I think the first in the franchise to have some actual bangers by name artists on the soundtrack. Plus, it really does advance the greater story, even when you thought everything had been said, bringing some piece to Freddy's victims. Part 4 justifies my up-til-then-not-entirely-tested opinion that Nightmare was the best (or at least, my favorite) horror franchise.NuclearPlanet
Some of the best deaths. Debra's is probably the best of the series.red.hexapus
Well, at least the killings were quite creative...Pedr20

Definitely a lot better than the first two sequels - for a lot of reasons. I might even like it better than the first one, if Johnny Depp's hilarious character didn't give the original Nightmare the edge. The death scenes are very creative, the plot is the least predictable of the four films, the humor (some of which is surely unintentional), although hit and miss, is actually quite humorous at times, the characters are the least annoying (overall) of the four films - and there's even a little early Blondie on the soundtrack. Much better than I had anticipated after the highly unimpressive second and third installments.
