Night Terrors (1993)
On 'Max Power's Scale of 1 to 10' I rate this movie: 1
Normally I would never rent a movie like this, because you know it's going to be bad just by looking at the box. I rented seven movies at the same time, including Nightmare on Elm Street 5, 6 and Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Unfortunately, when I got home I found out the videostore-guy gave me the wrong tape. In the box of Wes Craven's New Nightmare I found this lame movie.
This movie is incredibly boring, the acting is bad and the plot doesn't make any sense. It's hard to write a good review, because I have no idea what the movie was really about. At the end of the movie you have more questions then answers.

PS I would like to correct Corinthian's review (right below mine). He says Robert Englund is ripping off lingerie, riding horses naked, etc. The guy that did those things was Mahmoud, played by Juliano Mer, not by Robert Englund.
Roadracers (1994)
I never liked those 'fifties-movies' like Grease and Westside Story, but this movie was different.
Arquette and Hayek are two of my favorite actors and Robert Rodriguez is in my top3 of favorite directors so this movie had to be great, and it sure was.
I never liked those 'fifties-movies' like Grease and Westside Story, but this movie was different. It may start as just another happy rockabilly-movie, but after 45 minutes it changes in a cool Rodriguez-style action-movie.
David Arquette(Scream 1,2,3), Salma Hayek(From Dusk till Dawn) and the other actors did a great job and Rodriguez again showed he's a great director. I've been a fan of Arquette since Scream and this movie is one of his best I've seen so far. The music is great too. It's not my style, but it fits this movie perfectly.
I give this movie an 8 and a half out of 10.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)
Fun and my favourite of the series.
I saw this movie 5 or 6 years ago when I was 12. Back then I really liked this movie and it was my favourite of the series. I couldn't remember much of the movie so I decided to rent it last week.
After watching the first few minutes I was a little disappointed by the bad acting (especially by Tuesday Knight) and the fact that most of the actors looked way too 'eighties', but after 20 minutes or so, after the 3 worst actors were killed (Joey, Kincaid and Kirsten) the movie really started to look like how I used to remember it.
I really like this movie. The acting might not be oscar-worthy, but it was much better then most horrormovies from that time. Besides I didn't rent this movie for the acting, but to watch Freddy kill people in various 'fun'ways, which he did, and to kill my spare time, which the movie did too. Lisa Wilcox is great as Alice and the showdown between here and Freddy at the end of the movie is still one of the most amusing scenes I've ever seen in a horror-movie.
It might be different compared to the first in the series, but that doesn't make NOES4 a bad movie, that just makes it a different movie. This one has a lot more humor than the first, it's more colorful and the murders have a different style (girl transforms into a bug for example), but I had a very fun time watching it. I much rather have a bad sequel(which this movie is NOT!) than no sequel, so I think everybody should stop complaining.
I was afraid the movie would disappoint me after reading all the bad reviews here at the IMDB, but I'm glad it didn't. The movie was exactly like I remembered it: Fun, and my favourite of the series.
Bad things: * Patricia Arquette didn't play Alice * Tuesday Knight * Those ugly 80's-haircuts
Good things: * Good special effects * Lisa Wilcox * Girl transforms into a bug * The showdown between Alice and Freddy * Freddy Krueger (duh!)
I rate this movie 8 out of 10.
