Darkside-Reviewer 10 August 2019

This movie isn't the best the series has to offer but it isn't as bad as critics made it out to be while the series moved away from the blood and gore horror aspect of the first three films and more towards dark humour and less gory kills mainly to lower the age rating so more people could see it Robert England is still terrifying as Freddy even when he's making funny one liners he still instills fear into you.

The movie has an interesting storyline that focuses on Lisa Willcox character being pregnant and Freddy using the unborn childs dreams to use Alices powers of bringing people into dreams which does change the rules of the series a little but not drastically just a few loop holes to bring Freddy back for another nightmare inducing killing spree of Alices new friends.

Some interesting camera angles used and the usual creepy music found in an Elm Street movie like the jump rope children singing there's also a stop motion scene in the movie that really hasn't aged well at all and is just hilariously bad.

I recommend watching this if your a Freddy fan or just a fan of slasher movies and dark humour and while not very scary is very entertaining to watch.

Fmovies: After the success of Part 4, another sequel was a natural move. However they should have stopped it before it began. Alice, having survived Part 4 finds herself pregnant and it seems Freddy is using her unborn child to get at his victims, which of course are Alice's friends. Strange Nightmare movie, very heavy on religious imagery and bad acting. The special effects are good, but the movie itself is not.

I'll be honest with this review: I bought the complete box and watch the movies one by one. I loved the first one, I still enjoyed the second movie, the third wasn't great but watchable, the fourth was also okay, but not a "great" movie - I thought "number five - well, it cant be a good movie, but lets see how bad it gets". And suprise - in my eyes, this was the best sequel (so far, I haven't seen part 6 and 7 yet). To be honest, I don't understand why people hate this one so much. The deaths are cruel, the effect are b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. and the jokes made me smile. If you want to see a slasher-movie with great and creative kills, some cheesy oneliners and creepy scenes - dont miss it out. Give it a try. At least those points are what I was hoping to see and I dont regret one minute watching this.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child fmovies. Some of the best, if not the best, special effects in the seven-part "Nightmare On Elm Street" series were featured in this movie. They are good and they are clever.

The teens in here are still annoying and profane but not to the degree they are in most of the "Freddy" films. There are some real "hotties" in here, too. The ridiculous part is that all these "teens" look about 25 years old (which they probably are). Robert Englund (Freddy) has some funny lines, as he did in a most of these movies and the movie is well-photographed.

My problem with the story, and almost of them actually, is the theology which has always been so stupid, but I tolerated it through all of the films. But here, to a show a book in the beginning of the film that says "Christian Mythology," is a real cheap shot and going too far. This pagan propaganda was heavy in this film, which is really only worthwhile for the inventive special-effects.

Obviously, they wanted to have Freddy come back yet again. This time, he murders people through the dreams of an unborn baby. You read that right: AN UNBORN BABY! I never knew that unborn babies can dream, but apparently they can. As for the murders themselves...well, let's just say that the doll scene was something else! I would imagine that Robert Englund is probably proud to be remembered as that claw-handed slasher. Granted "A Nightmare On Elm Street: The Dream Child" isn't exactly the most creative movie ever, but it's still neat for what it is. Needless to say, there are some silly one-liners. And yet, there were even sequels after this one...

The series began suffering with the fourth movie, but this one really sent the series down hill. The acting is horrible. Only Robert Englund delivers a good performance. Not easy considering how pathetic this movie makes Freddy. Instead of the dark and scary villain, he's become a wise cracking jerk. The story is poor, making little sense. More details about Freddy's past come to light, but it really doesn't make a difference. The movie is also not very scary. The makers of this movie just opt for a lot of gore. The special effects try to fix the movie's many problems, but they don't. You'd think they would know when to quit, but yet another sequel followed. Thumbs down on this one.
