2.
Evil Has Spawned…
Freddy Krueger returns to deliver a whole new breed of terror in his most fiendishly perverse frightfest yet!
Unable to overpower the Dream Master who vanquished him in A Nightmare On Elm Street 4, Freddy (Robert Englund) haunts the innocent dreams of her unborn child and preys upon her friends with sheer horror. Will the child be saved from becoming Freddy's newest weapon or will the maniac again resurrect his legacy of evil?
For this eye-popping installment, director Stephen Hopkins (Lost In Space, Predator 2) enlisted make-up wizard David Miller (The Terminator), original creator of Freddy's hideous visage. The result: a face that not even a mother could love, and terror beyond your wildest nightmares!
3.
The Nightmare on Elm Street series continues to run out of steam, with director Stephen Hopkins (Lost in Space ) applying something approaching brilliance to a script (partly by horror novelists John Skipp and Craig Spector) that falls apart under the light. Among the impressive horror-weird sequences include a boy being absorbed by a motorbike or the characters straying into a superhero comic, but it still has boring Freddy wisecracks, a parade of indistinguishable and annoying teenage cannon fodder, an incomprehensible premise about the dreams of an unborn baby and lots of pompous would-be scariness to drag it down into the morass. Lisa Wilcox returns, but there's no particular reason to be excited about that. -- Kim Newman
