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.
