The Dream Master is an interesting entry in the Elm Street saga. It's definitely not a movie most people love, but it's also not a movie most people hate, it's just kind of right there in the middle. While it does a great job at developing the newly introduced Alice and her abilities as The Dream Master, it does a bad job with making you care at all about her friends; which include Joey, Kincaid, and Kristen from Part 3! Yes, three characters from the last film are actually in this film, but are sadly killed off way too quickly. If this was the plan all along for Kristen, it's no wonder Patricia Arquette didn't reprise the role. Would have been nice to see Kristen and Alice team up in that end battle against good old Freddy.
