Nightmare On Elm St. 4



So Candace and I finally finished my $10 set of the first four Nightmare On Elm Street films, and overall I would still assert that the second installment is the worst of the lot by far. The third and fourth films are both tied together, having a few characters in common (most of whom die, of course), so they're pretty similar in terms of quality, but if I had to give an edge to one or the other, I would say the third was stronger. That said, there were some fairly strong gross-out moments in the fourth film, the acting might be a touch better (at least with some of the teenaged actors), and Freddy's lines are certainly funnier this time around.

Now, although it would be nice to buy the other set of four films (which feature the remaining three from the regular series plus Freddy Vs. Jason) for $10 more, I'm not sure I'm going to pick them up anytime soon, as I'm not that eager to watch them, I've already got Freddy Vs. Jason, and I would honestly rather spend that money on a new CD.
