The fourth installment begins where the third one left off. Kristen (Tuesday Knight) has this unsettling feeling that Freddy is coming back. But isn't Freddy (Robert Englund) dead. Shouldn't have buried me, I'm not dead. This is unfortunate too for her old pals Joey (Rodney Eastman) and Kincaid (Ken Sagoes), because she pulls them back into her nightmare. Freddy quickly dispense with the informalities and the leftover cast.
      It seems Kristen is now the last surviving kid from the lynch mob that killed Freddy. But Freddy isn't done. He needs more fresh souls, so he tricks Kristen into drawing a new kid, Alice (Lisa Wilcox), in to act as a vessel for bringing new children into the dreamscape. Before dying Kristen passes on her gift/curse to Alice.
       At first, Alice is unaware of her powers and unwittingly starts to lead the lambs to slaughter. She pulls them into her nightmares and Freddy's damns them forever. But unbeknownst to Freddy, Alice is gaining strength from the dearly depart kids and the skills to help defeat him.
      This is one of those in-between Freddy films. It's not great, but not bad either. Steve Johnson, Kevin Yagher, and Screaming Mad George did a wonderful job with the special fx.  Most of the scenes with Freddy are pretty well done  with the best scene being the struggle between Freddy and the victim children of Elm Street. Check it out to see what its all about and be the master of your own "dream" domain.
