"This is your big break in tv..welcome to prime time bitch"

The film opens with the hero of the film, Kirsten Parker, making a paper mache house that looks suspiciously like Nancy Thompson's old house on Elm Street. This forms the catalyst of the nightmares she has recently been experiencing, and after another run in with the burned man in her dreams her mother finally snaps and sends her to Weston Hills psychiatric hospital, where a number of other young people are also resident though problems involving severe sleep deprivation. This programme to help these children is headed by Dr Gordon and his assistant Dr Simms. As they struggle to help the children a third member of staff is drafted in.......one Nancy Thompson!!

The naive Dr Simms asserts that what these children are experiencing is a form of group psychosis, culminating in a boogie man whom is trying to kill then all. :Nancy is informed that these kids will do anything to avoid sleep, and in one incident a boy cut of his eyelids to avoid sleep!!

:Nancy herself still suffers from the memories of her friends deaths at the hands of Krueger (six years previous), and takes an experimental drug, hypnocil, to suppress her own dreams. Nancy discovers that one of the residents, Kirsten, has the ability to pull people into her dreams, and its not long before the group are battling Freddy in the dream world. Meanwhile in the real world it is left to Dr Gordon and Nancy's father to take the necessary steps of putting an end to Freddy's reign of terror.

This film also offers a little more history on Freddy through the appearance of a ghostly apparition, Sister Mary Helen, who tells Dr Gordon that Freddy's mother was once a nurse who got trapped in a now derelict wing of the psychiatric hospital, and there she remained hidden and imprisoned by the criminally insane. During this time she was continually raped, and as a result became pregnant - giving birth to the bastard son of a 100 men, aka Freddy Krueger.  Following the disappointing Nightmare 2 this film is certainly a return to form for Mr Krueger....
