A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 picks up shortly after Part 3, with the three survivors from that part still struggling with nightmares.

What I got was the fourth film, a movie that has fun ideas here and there but struggles to find any kind of coherent tone and shortchanges its most interesting characters.

Immediate follow-up The Dream Master folds that concept into the story of Alice, a shy everygirl whose friendship with Dream Warriors protagonist Kristen (and resulting encounter with Freddy) invokes a new addition to the Nightmare series' supernatural dream logic.
