A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)

Not a live running blog, trying to give y’all a break.

Starts right off with an amazing song, Nightmare, by Tuesday Knight, yes that’s her real name, and she replaces Patricia Arquette as Kristin. Really, this song kicks ass. The soundtrack is super expensive sadly. Kristin is in a nightmare, pulls Joey and Kinkaid in. Hooray for continuity!! Joey now talks, that’s nifty. Kinkaid is still Kinkaid. They tell that bitch to be cool, the boiler pipes are cool. Kristin just won’t let shit be.

Poor Kinkaid is victim #1 after appearing in the junkyard, and his dog pisses fire and like re-invigorates Freddy. Well that’s how you attempt to get the audience anti-Freddy. Kinkaid put up a solid fight, dropped a car on top of him. Alas, it was his time to go. Next up, Joey is having a dream in his waterbed. This super hot blond chick, because blond chicks are hot, she’s all nude and looking hot and rises up in the waterbed. Anyway, he gets pulled under, similar to Glen’s death in Part 1. Well Kristin KNOWS she’s next. Kristin gets got but prior to getting thrown into the flames, she accidentally pulls Alice into the dream. Now Freddy has a new group to go after.

So a few things to note. Alice and Rick are siblings, and Rick is/was dating Kristin. Rick tries teaching Alice some kung fu shit. Rick also trained to an amazing song, Anything, Anything by Dramarama. You should look it up.

Black girl gets got by Freddy while in class, he sucks the breathe out of her. It was a medicore kill to be honest, the least impressive of the movie I think sadly. Alice’s panties get moist when she sees this Dan guy who is a jock guy. dan and Rick are talking about the validity of Freddy being responsible for these deaths.

Rick is next. He’s taking a shit, 6 cheerleaders along with Alice come into the bathroom stall. He then sees Kristin, she is then burned up. Rick then goes down in an elevator. Then he ends up in a dojo and Freddy is invisible and beats the fuck out of Rick. Rick then gets penisy, lands a few lucky shots and then Freddy gets him with the glove. That whole thing just played out like they threw darts at a wall, but it was still entertaining. Gotta love this dumb shit.

Alice is now inspired by Rick’s death and she starts using his nun chucks like he was Michealangelo. Now she is really working them and we get these awesome from behind the back shots and the hair is clearly a different color and pretty sure it was a dude. I LOVE THIS NONSENSE!!!

I like the use of really random side characters in this one. A lot of them are fairly creepy.

Debbie is working out, lifting some weights, Alice knows Debbie is gonna get got. During this scene, Alice and Dan play out the same scene repeatedly. Of course Debbie picks up the barbell and Freddy is right there pushing down on the weights. this snaps her arms off and she slowly devolves into a cockroach. Freddy eventually squeezes her to death in the Roach Motel. One of those all time classic kills in my opnion.

Dan and Alice get into an accident trying to run over Freddy. Dan got pretty fucked up. Alice has a plan though of course. She gets into ripped jeans and pops her collar and puts on a bunch of shit to look more bad ass. It works.

The ending was just so dumb, not even writing about it. God was the shit dumb. I forgot how dumb it really was. Just a travesty. Overall, movie gets a 7.9.
