    The Freddy films started to get a bit tired by this point and killing off the remaining Dream warriors made me quite upset :o(

    The original was the best, but this sequel was entertaining and brought a lot of creativity to the table.

    The Nightmare series has had a pretty bumpy ride from what I?ve seen, the first and third films were pretty decent, but that second movie was absolutely terrible. This fourth part isn?t quite as bad as that second installment, but it?s significantly worse than the other two. Th...( read more)e first and biggest problem that this has is that the acting is horrid. There were certainly some crappy performances in the third film, but here they?re all bad. In general, this series has aged a lot less gracefully than the other two (which is saying a lot, because those also definitely have their cheesy parts), there?s just a lot of odd eighties-ness all over the place. Also, this appears to be the place where they took some of the campier elements of the Freddy Krueger character and decided to run with them. Freddy used some silly one liners in part 3, but here there are some blatantly comical sight gags involving the guy. Also, the movie is pretty inconsistent about the rules of how Frddy?s dream killing works. In general, the movie emphasizes the weaknesses of the previous films rather than the strengths and the result is a pretty bad installment.
