A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988) is the slasher sequel you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Renny Harlin with Robert Englund returning as Freddy Krueger. The surviving Dream Warriors thought they had buried him for good. They were wrong.

A freak accident pulls Freddy back from the dead. He wastes no time picking off the old faces from the previous film one by one. Kristen, the last of the Elm Street kids, manages to draw her friend Alice into her dream in her final moments — passing along the rare power to pull others into her sleep. Freddy notices. Alice goes from bystander to prime target, and the only person left who might actually stop him.

Harlin pushed the pace harder than the earlier entries: tighter cuts, more elaborate kill sequences, less of the slow dread that made the original tick. The film was a box-office hit in 1988 and cemented Krueger's status as one of the decade's most bankable horror icons. Watch A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 online on iFILM in full.
