A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child takes the series to new lows, and lacks all of the charisma and cleverness that made the series so popular. In this ridiculous tale Freddy Krueger is able to resurrect himself and return to his killing spree by using the dream state of an unborn child, who he corrupts with the souls of his victims. The plot is atrocious, and isn’t helped any by the pathetic performances. The special effects are also pitiful, and don’t carry any sense of menace or terror. Cartoonish and formulaic, A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child is an insult to fans and to the horror genre itself.

My favourite so far. This is what I expected a dream demon horror movie was gonna be like when I started this series. Even Alice developed more of a character beyond picking up traits from her killed friends. I wish the whole series was like this. I also recognised Jacob as the kid from Jurassic Park.

>*"Time to die you scar-faced limp-dick!"* Started out like the most boring entry but the second half was very entertaining. If Freddy's on-screen you know it's going to be funny. Some creative kills once again, favorites were the motorcycle and comic book ones. This one has the best sets or at least the most of them. The whole "Seed of Freddy" storyline had potencial but it was done in such a predictable and cliché way and I don't think the year it was done in justifies that. It also suffers from killing all it's characters in previous entries, Alice just doesn't fill the screen on her own.

>"Bon appetit, bitch!" I am not a fan of this one. The quality of these are starting to fall fast, but I will mention two things that are great: Motorcycle transformation scene, and baby reborn scene. Those alone were worth it, but man… still not great.

I don’t have energy to complain anymore. I'm tired of repeating the same problems over and over again. I’ll just state that there is simply no coherence with absolutely anything.

Alice is more likeable now, at least. That’s an upgrade. I’d just like to suggest her to stop saying to ev More

This one was just ok. For some reason the kid in this movie just bothered me. Yea he looked scary but he was a bad actor. The movie itself would have been better with a different actor or just cut him out altogether.

Kids... always a disappointment.

*** This review contains an implied spoiler in last paragraph ***

By the time A Nightmare on Elm Street had rolled around to this, part five, Freddy Krueger had long stopped being a scary bogeyman. He was now a figure of fun, a purveyor of one line quips, while More
