Wes Craven tried to invent another type of Elm Street film and arose with this one. However, this film was a complete flop and sequels never arised from this one. The story goes like this. A college student named Jonathan Parker (Peter Berg) who also is playing football and is going steady with a beautiful girl (Camille Cooper). Suddenly he has a nasty concussion at the football field. Then he has a nightmare about his foster family being slaughtered by a maniac named Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi). However the dream turns out real later on followed by another one as he finds his whereabouts so the police can track him down. Then he is put to a death sentence. However Horace used black magic to enable him to utilise electricity to allow his spirit to travel through electrical currents and to possess any body he wishes. Jonathan must now fight an evil force that has become even stronger, as those around him grow weary of his nighttime visions and proceed to fall victim to Pinker's bloodthirsty ghost. Horace uses alot of Krueger type jokes in this film but this film was nothing but a cheap clone.
