    A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

    ★★½

    Killing us the last survivor characters from “Dream Warriors” marks the end of this series having believable, interesting protagonists (at least until they bring back Heather Langenkamp to play herself), and the script doesn’t even try to make sense. 
    Still, there are a few interesting concepts here and some of the best kills in the franchise. A film where a character is turned into a cockroach and squashed inside a bug motel could never be boring.

    Terrifying and heartbreaking. A historical injustice presented through the eyes of a single extraordinary woman, with Fernando Torres bringing incredible strength and emotion through the slightest gesture. Deeply powerful.

    One thing I’ve always admired about Lynch is how he balances darkness and violence with love and hope. The robin monologue from Laura Dern is such a wonderful encapsulation of this sensibility.

    About 30 minutes into this movie about a Mexican trans woman I looked it up and saw it was directed by a white French man. Everything made much more sense after I realised that. 

    Zoe Saldaña tried her absolute best to save it.
