After being buried at the end of 'Dream Warriors', Freddy Krueger is dead. But not for long. The three survivors from Warriors, who are the last of the dream warriors, are killed when Freddy returns to life, and Kristen is forced to give her dream powers to Alice, one of the new teenagers on the block. Before long Freddy is back in business, killing victims in an explosion of great special effects, imaginative sets, atmospheric music and strong direction.
Unfortunately, by the time this film was made, the 'Nightmare' series was no more than a money-making franchise. Freddy is reduced to a wise-cracking oaf and the plot of 'Master' is really no more than a string of set-pieces cemented together. It has to be said that most of the new characters in this film are just irritating (and Kristen's character has completely changed along with her appearance).
Watchable if you're a fan of the series, but if you've seen the first three films then you'd be better off watching 'A New Nightmare' or 'Freddy Vs Jason'.
