Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

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.

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

Dream Master is a colorful and energetic slasher for the MTV 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.

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

"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.
