I've read some reviews on this movie, and a lot of people don't like it. I honestly didn't think it was too bad! The night before graduation, Dan and Alice are having sex, then the nightmares begin again. Alice is in the shower, then she's transported to the asylum where Amanda Krueger was raped and where Freddy was born. (Robert Englund does another awesome job as Freddy Krueger!) If Alice can find Amanda in the real world, Freddy will die. Freddy is reborn and instead of haunting Alice's dreams, he haunts her unborn baby's dream, mixing reality and the real world. During her dreams, she sees her son, Jacob as a child, trying to help her stop Freddy. There was one cool part when Freddy is on a skateboard, coming after Alice's friend. A gross part for me was when Freddy is making Greta eat a lot of food at the 'rich-people' party her mom is having. Another friend, Yvonne tries to find Amanda while Alice tries to stop Freddy from haunting her child's dreams. If you love the Freddy series, and teenage pregnancies, you'll love A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5: THE DREAM CHILD!!!
hahaha this one was intense.... intense by being weird and dumb in parts. BUT still you gotta respect the idea of freddy! Good to watch with people and just yell and shit at the TV!
The most extremely dull film ever what a waste of time. The special effects sucked. He's killing people in comic books now. What piece of sh*t. Horrible film.
I've been a fan of all the 'Nightmare' films - I've found the sequels to be, for horror film standards, among the very highest quality imaginable, and this film, while nowhere near as good as the original, and maybe only half as good as Part 3, is still a decent film.
The acting is maybe not so terrific, but it's still enjoyable and much better than a single 'Friday the 13th' cash-grab sequel.
This movie is a waste of time. It is horrible and always will be not matter what else they put out in the series of the nightmares. I was so mad when i watched this movie and i still am when i think about it. I guess you must watch it to follow the story but don't get your hopes up.
How ironic that this film is centered around Freddy's "birth", yet the movie is so fucking bad it signals the impending "death" of the series. 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child' is an abortion.
After a fairly decent entry in 'Nightmare 4', Part 5 feels like a direct sequel to Harlin's film--which took its cues from 'Dream Warriors'. So, we're looking here at a kind of trilogy within the Nightmare series, and man, this is far and away the shittiest of the lot.
Our heroine, Alice, is now enjoying a dry humping-filled relationship with Dan (survivor from last film), and little do they know that riding the bologne-pony is just one unprotected thrust away from bringing back Fred 'child molesting' Krueger. The whole idea of Freddy being able to invade the dreams of Alice's unborn child to wreak havok on Alice's friends is pretty fucking dumb.
Much like the past two movies, Alice drags her friends into her dreams for the slaughter. Whereas before the characters were fairly unique, and you were kind of sad to see some of them go--here you have a stopwatch counting down until the next one gets snuffed. And boy, do they get taken out in the most ridiculous scenarios. One guy gets turned into a motorcycle, another girl gets fed to death (ok, I laughed), one dork gets turned into a comic book... and I think that's it. Could be wrong. Small body count.
I hated this movie. I hated the idea, I hated the direction, I hated Krueger's rubber mask prosthetic, and I hate everyone involved for tanking a hot series. Hell, this was only following up the most financially successful film of the franchise. Maybe this one's failure had to do with Freddy being everywhere from TV to your undies, but I know it also had to do with the fact that this movie sucked big, floppy donkey dicks. Highly unwatchable.
