Caution: spoilers.

Well, this is, so far, my least favorite Elm Street movie. (I almost rated it "meh and three quarters", but I decided to be kind and give it a full smiley.) Kristen, Kincaid, and Joey from the previous movie are back, though Kristen is played by a different actress. Kristen believes Freddy is coming back, despite their having seemingly defeated him permanently, but the other two don't believe her. And of course they're wrong. Freddy kills all three of them fairly early in the movie. But Kristen pulled her friend Alice Johnson into her dream before being killed, and passed on the power of pulling people into her dreams. So, several more people get killed, though I don't want to specify who any of them are. I guess Alice gets more powerful with each of their deaths, so she's able to fight Freddy at the end of the movie, and beat him, though of course we all know that won't last. And I don't know what else to say.
