Quote:
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child is a 1989 American slasher film and the fifth film in the Nightmare on Elm Street series. It was directed by Stephen Hopkins. The film's general tone is much more gothic and dark than the films before, and used a blue filter lighting technique in most of the scenes. The film's main titles do not display the "5" which was used in all of the promotional material, TV spots, trailers, and merchandise. The main titles simply say "A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child".

Arrrgh. Effed this up. This was intended for the third part.

Can the poll be reset as it's only my vote and if I remember correctly I didn't like The Dream Child that much so I'm not sure it will be a C once I see it again.

I actually dig The Dream Child... whenever Freddy's not on screen.

That kinda beats the purpose, doesn't it?

Does it?

I like Alice. I like what the film's trying to do with the pregnancy story. I really like the gothic tone. But jokester Freddy drags the whole thing down. He doesn't fit.

There IS something seriously wrong you say Freddy doesn't belong in a Nightmare On Elm Street Movie.

Personally the pregnancy angle was too far fetched and cheap.

If I was judging purely on Freddy, Nightmare 2 would be the best in the series.

He's easily the darkest he's ever been in that film.

I remember a girl getting force fed in a dream only to spring out from Alice's fridge with her cheeks bursting, and... that's literally it.

So... B-?

Nothing good about this nightmare, lame story, lame deaths and even Freddy(Super Freddy?) sucked.

I liked this a bit more than 4, which pissed me off at the start when they killed Kristen so early. I don't like Alice as much as her, or Nancy, but at least her character was something that held my interest in this one, and she didn't have any stupid powers where she absorbed her friends personality quirks. And there was no scene where some cocky white guy fights Freddy with kung-fu. And the sunglass stoner character was probably a big inspiration for Orange Cassidy. So yeah, not a ton to like, the movie is still mostly unpleasant to watch, but at least there was something.
