Freddie returns in a scary,
humorous performance
By Michael Deeds
Stall’ Reviewer
Several movies have flooded the
market this summer, but very lew
horror flicks have been among them.
“A Nighunare on Elm Street 4:
The Dream Master” is among those
few, and includes an array ol innova
tive and entertaining special effects to
help cover the typical Freddie
Krueger plot.
rnpvip
Whenever a movie develops into a
series of sequels, most people expect
a lousy show but pay for it anyway.
Well, actor Robert England hasn't
lost his cryptic charm and seems to
enjoy slashing upper-middle class
bruts to pieces as much as ever.
The movie opens with Kristen,
played by Tuesday Knight Kristen
survived the last picture, although
actress that played her in “Nightman.
.V* didn’t — at least not on the sc reen
Now, she’s starling to have scars
dreams again. Well, worst conies to
worst, anil al ter 30 minutes or so. sIk
and about hall her high si hool have
been slaughtered by Freddie, w ho, hv
the way. is not dead alter all.
So, her boyfriend (ore\ boyfriend
he’s dead now, loo) has a little
sister named AI ice (Lisa VV ilco\)\\ ho
takes over the heroine part and must
light dastardly Freddie. The plot
thickens. She’s a nerd.
The rest of the movie most people
could probably guess. She lights
Freddie, and of course appears to w in.
But has she really? Is Freddie really
dead? I she just sleeping The tension
is just unbelievable.
Truthfully, the only thing that sal
vages “Nightmare 4“ is the use ol
special effects which are technically
impressive hut also imaginative. One
guy is murdered inside a waterbed. A
very beautiful lass is suddenly trans
formed into a roach and checked into
a roach motel by good ol’ Freddie.
But, the biggest laugh is something
that can’t be pul subtly.
Has anyone ever seen a dog lift its
leg and urinate fire which shoots
across the ground, burns and creates a
flaming wall of terror? Well,
Freddie’s favorite pooch can. By the
way, the dog’s name is Jason, which
could either be a cheap shot at another
certain horror scries or just an acci
dent.
Freddie still has neat little rhymes
like,’’Fresh meat, how sweet,” and
“Wanna suck face?” to keep the airol
humor which has always been his
trademark. And he still has poor taste
in hats.
Overall, people who liked the pre
vious flicks will like this one, loo.
Actually, it is probably the best sequel
in the scries. Freddie is ugly, the girls
are scared, the guys are scared and
nobody at school will believe them.
And if you don't have S5 to blow
on this movie, don’t worry. They’ve
already started a “Nightmare” series
for television. Freddie with commer
cials, great.
“A Nightmare on Elm Street 4:
The Dream Master” is playing at the
Cinema Twin theatre on 13th and P
streets.
