A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 4 The Dream Master.
Oh my God. Has to be one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. How to destroy your own franchise in one easy step. Make the villain who was at least slightly sinister and creepy in most of the first three films into a rubbish spoof of himself. Here instead of any kind of menace he just provides bad one liners. And pizza. No I'm not even kidding. On top of that there is some sort of karate kid tribute going on. The guy playing karate kid is the only character with any hint of personality but is given some of the worst dialogue and scenes ever committed to film. His death is also inexplicable. Not surreal or bizarre which would be par for the course. But literally inexplicable.
I am going to carry on as I have the boxset and I am especially intrigued by New Nightmare at the end. But I will not be paying so much attention to the screen for the next couple of discs!
