569 A Nightmare On Elm St 4: The Dream Master (1988)

 The  fourth instalment of the Elm St saga was  the  weakest  thus  far.  Freddy  resurrects himself  to  pick  off  the  three  survivors  from  the  previous film.( one  iof  them re-cast)   then  starts taking out members of  their  peer  group at school requiring  a  new  mousey  heroine to  tackle him. The  effects are  up  to  scratch  but  otherwise  the  film  is  a real mess  with  no  internal  logic; it  often feels  like  the  actors are  making  the  script  up as  they go  along and  there's a  glaring continuity error . A  complete dud.

Lisa Wilcox  ( as Alice )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


Lisa is  from  California and made her film debut in 1984 with a minor role in Gimme An F. This  was her  next film and  is still  her  signature  role; she  appeared in the  next instalment of the franchise. She has been more  active on  TV  than film. In the early 2000s, she took a break from acting to develop Toe Bright a costume  jewellry  business she founded with co-star Tuesday Knight, She returned in 2007 and has mostly been seen in horror films.
