After the events of Dream Master, Alice and her new friends graduate from high school, but little does she know that Freddy Krueger has returned once again and plans to be reborn into the real world through her unborn son. The only person who can stop him is his dead mother and only Alice can free her spirit in order to defeat him once again.

The sequels to the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, like I said before, has been hit and miss with Dream Warriors, Dream Master, and New Nightmare being better entries and others like Freddy's Revenge, and Freddy's Dead being weaker entries. Dream Child is another weak entry and while not exactly godawful, it lacks the elements to actually be a perfect dream.

Now there are some good things about Dream Child. The production design looks fine. It doesn't have the imaginative nature of Dream Master and Dream Warriors, but it does feel dream-like. The music score is once again haunting and fits the tone and atmosphere while Robert Englund did his best with otherwise lackluster material.

That being said, there are several problems with this fifth entry. The story isn't quite as imaginative and fresh and feels rather pedestrian, the pacing is very uneven, the writing is filled with one-liners from Freddy Krueger that aren't quite as funny, the direction is pretty drab, and the rest of the acting isn't that good. Lisa Wilcox did okay, but she wasn't as interesting as in Dream Master while the other characters are poorly-written due to their illogical decision making and while the death scenes are cool to look at, they do lack the spark that made the death scenes in Dream Master, Dream Warriors, and the original more memorable.

Overall, Dream Child isn't exactly godawful and has some good moments, but this is a dream that should've been better.

First,the pros,the Gothic tone,it really helps the movie feel different than the others.Freddy,he is very sadistic and evil in this one.The acting was good,and I like how the movie deals with mature themes like teen pregnancy.I liked some of the dream sequences,the cinematography was very eerie.The kills were decent,not many this time but they were creative,and the effects were great.Now,the cons,the pacing,the movie is fast,but it's so boring,nothing even happens.The characters,I didn't care about any of them.The humor,all of Freddy's lines were stupid,I didn't laugh once.The plot,while interesting,is very stupid and poorly executed.The Dream Child has a great tone and deaths,but the rest of the movie is too boring and lazy to be interesting.

Never mind Freddy's return is never explained, this installment has terrific effects, and style to burn with Robert Englund giving it his all, but this series is getting old fast. In this entry, Freddy (Englund) is trying to control the unborn child of part four's survivor and murdering all her friends in the process. The black and white sequence is a highlight. Unrated; Extreme Graphic Violence, Sexual Situations, Profanity, and Brief Nudity.

A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child, the fifth installment in the Nightmare on Elm Street series and the worst sequel ever in the series, even worse than A Nightmare on Elm Street 2. I was lucky enough to get the Nightmare on Elm Street DVD box set for my birthday and I watched all the sequels. The dream child was the worst without a doubt, I was surprised too since they were doing so well with the last two sequels. But I guess they just lost the charm, the story was just ridicules and I wasn't happy with where it went. Alice just became more annoying, she's not Nancy or Kirsten, so her carrying this film on her own didn't work for me. Freddy is also loosing his scare, this was just getting a bit silly.

Alice is back and she's carrying a child, she couldn't be happier with her life. But Freddy is also back and he's not going to be too light on her since she defeated him so easily in the fourth movie. But anyways, he wants her child and to be born into the world again. Did you ever wonder if Freddy had parents too? Well that's what A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child investigates and Alice soon finds out what Freddy's childhood was like and that maybe that's the one thing that can defeat him.

A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child is just all in all a bad movie and an insult to the series. I don't think anyone could be happy with this sequel. Just the story was really silly, I mean it could have possibly worked, but once again, it was just executed the wrong way. I know that if you're looking to see the sequels for the Nightmare on Elm Street series, you should watch it, but I really wouldn't recommend it, it's not worth it, at least in my opinion.

3/10

This film is so incredibly bad, that I almost felt sick watching it. Up until this point, the other installments had at least one good thing about it. Part 1 was suspenseful and gory. Part 2 was off beat and entertaining. Part 3 was interesting with great effects. Part 4 had great music, good special effects, and a new entertaining Freddy Krueger. Part 5 is more boring than anything I've ever seen before. Alice, a much prettier blond, from Part 4 is back with her boyfriend Dan. At parts, this supposed Elm Street installment turns into a daytime soap. The newer characters seem harsh, and even that sweet Alice has a chip on her shoulder. Freddy seems to be completely out of this one. He looks tired, and doesn't seem to be as gruesome. His one-liners seem out of place and different, where as in Part 4 they could be pretty funny. Leslie Bohem's story never gets off the ground and Stephen Hopkins' direction is so bad, that it makes my grandmother look good! The whole plot of this movie is ridiculous and unrealistic. It's also confusing and pretty stupid. Avoid Part 5 at all costs!

The series continues it descent with this the 5th chapter of the Nightmare series. Freddy is still great! Lisa Wilcox is still fine! But something is missing, I really don't know what it is but you can feel it.

While Dream Child is a step below the others, it is not as bad as other make you believe. There is the interesting backstory of Amanda Krueger (Freddy's mother) and the den of 100 lunatic's. Worth a look, but don't expect alot.

Pros: Englund is still the man -- Cons: Freddy baby, oh my lord -- Bottom Line: 6/10.

this one gets an "Average" slapped on it.....the material is getting old here now....saw this one as a double feature at a drive in...the film is o.k...still fred chasing unlucky teens..slashin em..and spoutin off one liners.....definitely a weaker film than the first 4..

however, its still fun ....and maintains that creepy, "ooooh its fred krueger,and hes back in my dreams again" vibe..but not as creative as the others. If a die hard fan like myself, you'll still shell out cash for it....

I don't know why people think that part 5 is one of the worst of the series. For a sequel it has everything that is needed for a nice horror flick. I mean, the originity and the "specialness" that noes 1 brought can't be topped, because it was the first one and came up with something that was never seen so if you make a sequel on a movie like this, then you just have to make something out of the dream thing and visualize it in a very fascinating way knowing that people know what the series is about. I think that the dream scenarios where way more fascinating, beautiful and disturbing than in part 4. This scenario and the 101- 80ies special effects give this film the right atmosphere and make worth seeing it. Same counts for part 3. Number two really was a nightmare (what about the dream sequences???) and is the worst of them all besides part 6 and 4... My opinion as a person who thinks that picture and atmosphere themselves are more important than a story in movies like this (because the story was invented, told and finished in part 1!)

The Nightmare series sinks to new depths with the fifth in the series, The Dream Child: lamentable effects, a ridiculous plot, bad acting and Robert Englund portraying Freddy as a comedian rather than a vicious killer all go to making this one possibly the worst of the franchise so far.

Lovely Lisa Wilcox once again stars as Alice Johnson, who was last seen defeating Freddy via the power of reflection (see my comment on Pt. 4 for more details). Having celebrated her graduation, she plans to travel to Europe with boyfriend Dan, but, when her school pals start to mysteriously die, she suspects that Freddy has somehow managed to return once again.

The opening to The Dream Child is extremely misleading; it actually makes the viewer think that this chapter might be worth watching! After a night of rumpy-pumpy with her beau, Alice takes a shower, only to be trapped in the cubicle as it fills with water. This scene is easily the best part of the film. The rest of the movie is a logic-free mess which features such awful concepts as Freddy turning into a demonic motorbike, a girl being force fed to death (by Krueger dressed as a chef), and a geek entering a comic book and battling with 'Super-Freddy' (expect some dreadful effects and a really badly drawn comic during this sequence).

If, like me, you're ploughing your way through the whole series (in my case, having only seen them previously on their original release), then by now you're probably losing the will to live. Only two more to go. Will I make it or will Freddy have claimed another victim? 2.5 out of 10 (rounded up to 3 for IMDb).

On the day of her graduation in Springwood High School and after having sex with her boyfriend Dan Jordan (Danny Hassle), Alice Johnson (Lisa Wilcox) has a dreadful nightmare with Amanda Krueger (Beatrice Boepple) on the night that she was mistakenly locked up in the asylum with one hundred maniacs and then with Freddy Krueger's rebirth. During the night, while Dan is in the graduation party in a swimming pool with their common friends Yvonne (Kelly Jo Minter), Mark Grey (Joe Seely) and Greta Gibson (Erika Anderson), Alice calls him and Dan leaves the party and drives his truck to meet Alice at her job. However he is attacked by Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) and crashes against a large truck instantaneously dying. The shocked Alice goes to the hospital and finds that she is pregnant of Dan's son. When Greta is killed by Freddy during a dinner party, Alice becomes intrigued since she was not sleeping in both occasions; therefore Freddy could not have used her dreams to reach Dan and Greta. Sooner Alice concludes that Freddy is using her baby's dreams to kill her friends, and she decides to seek out Amanda to learn how she could defeat and destroy Freddy Krueger.

"A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child" is the fifth part of this classic movie and is a creepy and underrated sequel. This is the movie of the franchise that uses the greatest number of impressive gruesome special effects. The deaths are very creative, like the one in the comic book or the attack of the motorcycle and one of the scariest scenes is when Alice is dressed like Amanda and surrounded by the crazy guys in the saloon of the mental institution. The beauty of Lisa Wilcox gives a great contrast with the ugliness of the beast Freddy Krueger. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "A Hora do Pesadelo 5: O Maior Horror de Freddy" ("The Hour of the Nightmare 5: The Greatest Horror of Freddy")

After the wild, funhouse-like Dream Master, Freddy returns in The Dream Child, but it's a lot less fun this time. It turns out that The Dream Master's survivors, Alice and Dan, are going to have a baby and Freddy sees this as an opportunity to take a few more victims by getting into the baby's dreams.

It's an interesting concept and there are several really excellent moments, but something feels tired and lethargic about it. To be fair, the first act is fairly solid, but it starts getting really slow in the middle of the film with only a murder or two to spice things up. Thankfully, the murders (there seems to be a very small body count this time around) are fittingly fantastical with a girl being turned into a doll and force fed her intestines being particularly gruesome.

Lisa Wilcox still makes for a great heroine even if the material is a bit more dour this time around. Freddy seems to have lost a bit of his jokey quips this time, too, which is a welcome relief.

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.

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.

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.

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...

You just can't keep a bad guy down. They tried burning him, burying him, altogether forgetting him, but like the good cash-cow he is, Freddy just can't stay down. Hot on the heels of the successful "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master," this fifth installment finds our crispy anti-hero dwelling in the dreams on an unborn child. The unborn child of Alice, survivor of the last film, and seemingly the only way Freddy can still live on -- because babies dream in the womb, right? It's an interesting concept and a unique way of bringing Freddy back for another round, but let's not kid ourselves. The franchise was running out of steam by 1989 (much like the "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween" franchises were) and it shows in this film. Despite some truly nightmarish imagery and a few memorable death scenes, "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child" doesn't have much else to offer. Director Stephen Hopkins has a good eye for dark, Gothic images, but obviously didn't know how to make a good horror movie, let alone a good "Nightmare" flick. What this film lacks is both suspense and character development. The previous installments in the series worked well because they had characters that seemed to reflect real-life teenagers and we got to know them as the film progressed. Unfortunately, despite some recurring characters, there isn't much to follow. Before we can even get to know the newest members of the ever-rotating cast, they are picked off before the movie even reaches the midpoint, and none of their deaths involve any suspense, or genuine horror, for that matter. Now, one of the film's strengths is that, despite the lack of tension, the nightmares in this film are quite nightmarish. Save for an A-Ha video re-hash, you will walk away from this film remembering it's stark, uninviting visuals. It's all style over substance, however, and it's easy to see why even New Line decided to put their money-maker to rest in the following film, even if it was temporary. "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5" is worth watching for the Freddy enthusiast, but is one of the weaker entries in the series, and sorry folks, but the series gets worse before it gets better...

....next stop: "Freddy's Dead"

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.

I really enjoyed the first 30 minutes, the house sequences are awesome, the birth scene is pretty disturbing and gross. Some of the deaths are very interesting and creative, the Amanda Krueger scenes are scary, Jacob (no spoilers for who he is) is creepy as hell. The ending is scary, gory and gross, but the whole movie is scary and gross, as a Nightmare On Elm Street should be, scary, funny and gory. (This is the most violent installament in the series). Very suspenseful and funny. 7,5/10

There are more screams and dreams as Part V of the Nightmare series rolled around, a story where Alice (Lisa Wilcox) finds Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) taunting the sleeping mind of Alice's unborn child and wants to be reborn into the world through the baby.

It's more of the screams, dreams and mangling with some gross and graphic scenes, especially that containing images of the "Dream Child." These gross-out scenes are supposed to make the movie scarier, but it does really wear out afterward as the series progresses. There is really not much character development, suspense and thrilling sequences. It's basically a continuation of the same "kids vs. the re-returning Freddy Krueger" element, with only the baby scenes offering a different plot device.

At 89 minutes, it is not an extremely long movie and you might get entertained by a few of the "Dream Child" plot scenes. Overall, it's a very average horror movie.

Grade C-

Not saying this is a bad movie like most people say, but if you look at it real closely; you will see this installment has the most drama than the others. Besides PART 7. Director Stephen Hopkins and (female) writer Leslie Bohem provide a great dramatic story with perfect comic timing by FREDDY KRUGER(Robert Englund).

Alice(Lisa Wilcox) and Dan(Danny Hassell) have been living like king and queen since the battle with FREDDY. All of that is about to change, because FREDDY is using their unborn baby, Jacob(Whitby Hertford), dreams to kill those close to her. The only person who can help her is the rest of her remaining friends and FREDDY's mother, who body has been missing since the birth of FREDDY.

Now the plot sounds like an average horror movie, but it's not. What most people complain about is how slow moving it is and not few people are killed like the other installment. This movie not about that at all, it's more on the human side than horror. Of course, you have those excellent one liners from FREDDY. So watch if your in for a horror/drama.

Nightmare On Elm Street Part 5 opens with our heroes from the 4th movie graduating only to face Freddy when he starts invading Alice (Lisa Wilcox)AKA Dream Master's baby's dreams to which Freddy then uses as a springboard to squash the faceless teenagers who somehow survived the last entry. Nightmare 5 is certainly as silly as it's predecessor but at least this one brings back the surreal nature of the first three movies. Indeed the whole comic-book sequence is pretty stupid (It looks more like AHA's Take On Me video, yes I know, i'm old) then it does a Freddy Krueger scene. However that being said at least this one gives more carnage and goes out of it's way to provide a movie so extreme in absurdity that it just boggles the mind. This is one movie that would freak anyone out who is drunk (or high) as the random imagery is just extremely weird. On the other hand it represents the beginning of the end for the franchise as from what I remember the theaters were far less packed than when I saw the others and for the most part the whole series became not that scary. However as how some slasher movies work due to their atmosphere, this gets by on sheer weirdness factor. It is so strange you just cave in and enjoy the carnage.
