A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)

To the horror of all, Freddy Krueger is apparently still alive and on another killing spree. But most horror-struck of all is Alice, a young, pregnant woman, who fears that Freddy is the father of her child.

Once again, good must do battle with evil, so Alice enlists the help of Freddy's victims from beyond the grave to help her in her quest to rid Elm Street of Freddy forever.

The "humor" found in The Dream Master, however, is not only ill conceived but also downright unfunny. ... There are quite a few some neat in-jokes to be found in this installment as well as the most elaborate death scenes, but the feeling one is left with after this sequel is that it was just another step toward the inevitable: total commercial over-saturation. How sweet: fresh meat.

Of all the Nightmare sequels it’s safe to say this fourth entry has aged the worst. ... Tepid, in fact quite lame, stuff from director Harlin who tries to make the proceedings have style but is handed much too sloppy a script that’s cluttered with dumb moments, weak nightmares and a pace that unfortunately plays like a standard teen 'line ‘em up - knock ‘em down' slasher movie.

Not quite as good as part 3, but still much better than the second in the series... -- (eSplatter.com)
