Kristen Parker (Tuesday Knight) has the ability to pull others into her dreams and is convinced that Freddy Krueger is still out there. Joey Crusel (Rodney Eastman) and Roland Kincaid (Ken Sagoes) are just as sure that he's gone forever. Then Kincaid falls asleep into a junkyard where his dog pees fire opening the ground and Krueger rises from oblivion. Soon the three survivors are dead and their friends led by flustered Alice Johnson (Lisa Wilcox) are hunted down one by one.

This one doesn't have Heather Langenkamp. Patricia Arquette doesn't even return for her role. The three returning survivors are killed off quickly. It is a lost for the franchise to not have a franchise protagonist. At least, Robert Englund is back. It's a hit and miss of weird killings. I really love the cockroach kill but not much else.
