Summary: An awesome film
Review: My very 1st Nightmare on Elm Street movie that turned out to be really good. I like the part where Freddy pours that alcohol on his arm and he takes his arm off (gruesome, but cool)!

Summary: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5:The Dream Child
Review: Another classic Freddy movie! This time, ol' Freddy posseses an unborn baby who happens to be Alice's. The plot, while a bit confusing, is quite deep in this one. Cool kills, and lots of fun. We also learn more about Freddy, like how he got born. So get some popcorn and a Pepsi, and enjoy!!

Summary: poor
Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 reeks of a bad script. Don't even bother with this film. I feel that Part 4 and 5 really should not have been added to the series but Part 5 is the worst of the two and without question the worst of the sequels.

Summary: Not as Good as the Fourth one
Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child follows one of the best in the franchise-The Dream Master, yet this one seems to just lose the credibility the third and fourth ones attempted to make. The idea is kind of hocky, Freddy being to weak to attack Alice, so he attacks her unborn child. The return o Freddy's mother is kind of lame as well. The good acting is gone and the scare factor is non-existant. The one good thing though is the gore factor. There are some good "original" death scenes which kind of make the movie worth watching.

Summary: Easily The Weakest, But Still Enjoyable.
Review: A Nightmare On Elm Street The Dream Child begins by introducing us to Alice (Lisa Wilcox) the survivor of A Nightmare On Elm Street 4 The Dream Master. She's now living happily, with only one more day till her high school graduation. Her father is no-longer drinking, and goes to meetings. He no longer treats Alice badly. She's also going to go to Paris with her boy-friend Dan (Danny Hassal, from the fourth movie). She's totally happy, and has almost forgotten of the horror she had to face a few years earlier. But then, one night, after hours of passion with Dan, she has an awful nightmare involving Amanda Krueger, and her being locked in the mental institution, and being raped by the lunatics. She's quite disturbed by this, but Dan simply says "If you don't dream him up, he can't hurt you, or us". She shruggs, still feeling a bit uncomfortable. But her fears only get larger when Dan is killed by a truck. She then finds out that she's pregnant with a boy. Also, there's a little kid she keeps seeing, whose name is Jacob (Whitby Heartferd, Jurrasic Park). She trys to tell her friends about Krueger, but they think she's stressed by the pregnancy. But then, her friends pay the grisly price for not listening. How is Freddy getting to them if Alice is awake? If you want to find out, watch the movie.My personal opinions about this film are very controversial. Every time I watch it, I feel different about it. It is the weakest (yes, I find it weaker than Part 2, which I liked), but it still is very enjoyable. Robert Englund is still super-duper cool as the monster. He has now reached the point where he is not one BIT scary. He's cracking jokes (some funny, some not) at nearly everything that happens. I don't mind this, but I sort-of preffer the dark and evil Freddy from the first and second. But, as I said, the movie isn't really boring, and is still entertaining and worth a watch. This DVD is pretty good. An excellent picture and sound quality (much better than the video), a few extras (production notes, Jump To A Nightmare, etc.). Some fans are mad because the DVD is not the unrated director's cut. Don't worry. I just got it in the mail yesterday, and was rather dissapointed. There are only about three new thing (that aren't a major big deal) and a couple added shots, but nothing to exciting, and in a way I preffer the theatrical version. If you really MUST have the un-rated version, it's quite cheap to buy used (about 5 dollors). All in all, this movie's well worth a watch. Rent, or buy it today (prefferably buy the box set.)

Summary: The Worst Of The Series, But Still Quite Good!
Review: A Nightmare On Elm Street The Dream Child, the fifth of the series, begins with our heroin, Alice (Lisa Wilcox, returning from the fourth film) taking a shower after a romantic night with her boyfreind, Dan (Danny Hassal, also returning from the fourth film). She has a horrible nightmare of Amanda Krueger being locked in the asylum with the inmates, who rape her. Alice is diturbed by this incident, but Dan tells her it's no big deal. She starts to forget about it, until that night, when walking to work, she has another nightmare, and this time it's about Freddy, himself! So, Krueger's back! But how? He's somehow getting to her freinds and killing them off, even though Alice is awake! How's he doing it? Well, that romantic night with Dan made baby, who's slowly growing in her stomach. Baby's spend almost 75 to 80 percent of their day in sleep, so Freddy has found the simplest way to get into the teens dreams! Alice says "NO" to the thought of abortion, but now her freinds are all dropping like flies! How can she save them? The answer is in Amanda Krueger, who's soul is stuck in the old, closed down, asylum. Alice must race against time to find her and free her soul, because everyone's life is depending on it! Part 5 is not my favorite NOES (Nightmare On Elm Street) film. It's actually my least favorite, but it's still quite good. Lisa Wilcox is great as Alice, and Mr. Robert Englund still hasn't forgotten how to play Freddy. It's at this point Freddy is now Eddie Murphy. It started with Part 4. Freddy now has lost all ability to scare, and I don't think he's trying to anymore. He's pretty funny in this wacky entry, however. Some good jokes ("Put your petal to the metal, Dan!") and witty dialouge make it much better. Whitby Heartford (did I spell that right) has a small, but important role as Jacob. Heartferd would go on to have a very small part in Jurrasic Park (he's the kid who comments about the dinosour bones on the computer as being "Not very scary, but more like a six foot turkey"). He's a talented young actor, though. The movie has a very dreamy feeling, and the scene with Greta at a dinner party is the dreamiest any scene from a series has gotton! The DVD is great, dispite lack of features. Most of us fans know that the features are in the bonus disk in the box set (which I bought, and loved) but the picture on the disk is clean, pretty much flawless, and the sound can beat the stereo by miles. Just go and swith the two sounds, Stereo and 5.1 surround, around to notice the difference. Great sound! As is usual, you get "Jump to a nightmare", which I rarely use, and the production notes (interesting), as well as standard scene selection and english subtitles. For DVD-Rom you get a trivia game, the whole script, and links to online websites. Only dissipointment with this disk is it's not the unrated version, but instead, the R-Rated version. I have the unrated version on an old tape, and while there's not to much difference, I would have thought they'd use the uncut version. The only differences are a much more gruesome deathe sequence for poor Dan. His face is shown being ripped off and a needle comes from behind his seat to stab him. Also, Greta's death is a tad longer. Freddy scoops some food out of a hole in her stomach and says "You are what you eat". That line is in the theatrical version, but makes more sense with that shot in there. All in all, I recommend this entry. It may be the weakest, but it's still darn enjoyable! Please vote for me if you found my reveiw of any help. Thanks a lot!

Summary: Terrific Premise in the Series makes this one Watchable.
Review: After thinking that Alice (Lisa Wilcox) has destory Freddy (Robert Englund). Alice is now, finishing High-School and having a nice boyfriend (Danny Hassel). When one day, when she day-dream, she dreaming inexplicable about Freddy and Now, he's back alive to hunt teengers from thier sleep by using Alice's unborn baby and striking at her friends. Directed by Stephen Hopkins (Predator 2, The Ghost and the Darkness, Lost in Space) made a watchable sequel, which it has more story to tell than Nightmare 4. This has a clever script by Leslie Bohem (Dante's Peak) but the story moves so slow and Hopkins visual style keeps up from being sinking. Although the visual effects are great. This didn't do well at the Box Office. Less successful than the another four films. It's still watchable. DVD has an fine anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an great Digitally Remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD is actually the R-Rated Version. Grade:B+.

Summary: The Dream Master Returns with a Dream Child
Review: Alice has been living safely with her "nightmares" behind her. She's got a boyfriend, graduated from high school, her dad is recovering from being an alcohol addict, and an unplanned baby on the way. And Alice is going to do everything to protect and keep the baby. But that's going to be harder than it seems, because Freddy has been hiding inside of Alice, and is now using her unborn child's dreams to get more souls. Alice must prepare for another battle with Freddy, and must do all she can to protect her baby. In A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 : The Dream Child, the series began to delve into Freddy's past. Freddy's mother, Amanda Krueger, was also brought back into the storyline. She was used in A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 : The Dream Warriors, but not as much as she is here. She's crucial to the storyline in NOES5. Lisa Wilcox proves again that Freddy is no match for her. Even though I'm not a big fan of Nightmares 4 and 5, Lisa Wilcox's Alice is my favorite Nightmare heroine. I believe it's her eyes. With Nightmare 5's interesting plot and Lisa leading, I believe that it is the weakest entry, other than Nightmare 2, in the series. It didn't have what the rest of the entries do. I don't quiet know what that is, but it didn't have it. But as it being part of the Nightmare series, I do like it.
