Following the adrenalized blast that is the third film was definitely going to be a challenge. What makes &”Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master” so effective is that it continues that storyline, expanding the narrative and embroidering the mythology, while also making subtle tonal shifts unique to this installment.
Energetically directed by a young Renny Harlin (he was just 29 at the time), this installment features some of the franchise’s most memorable kills and zippiest one liners (the smarter-than-expected script was co-written by future Oscar winner Brian Helgeland).
