Summary: Boring at times but mostly fun.
Review: NOES 5 to me was just made since the previous installment , the decent NOES 4 (1988) made the most money at the box office in the series, therefore one year later in 1989 the franshise was not to reluctant to come out with part 5. First of all the movie in general is slow-paced. The first half hour is kind of confusing but is eventually explained well. Alice from the previous NOES gets pregnant and is ready to deliver a baby. Soon after she starts having weird dreams and belives Freddy is behind it all. The thing is she is certain she killed Freddy in the previous installment and don't know how he can come back. It turns out she is right for the most part where Freddy meets her and is looking to take her baby, as Alice learns Freddy was causing the dreams through her unborn child. The movie kind of has a unique gothic tone to it, even exploring more about Amanda Kruger, Freddys Mother. I think the problem with the movie though it boring at times, slow moving and the acting is clearly weak compared to the other installments. Cartainly not the best of the series which goes to the original NOES, but just cannot be the worst of all installments considering NOES 2 takes that honor.

Summary: Kinda "childish", but watchable
Review: Ya know, after takin' in the first four 'Nightmare' flicks, you'd think I'd've given up expecting to see anything all that new here. But, being the foolish optimist that I am, I hoped beyond all hope, only to see those aspirations dashed by such tried-and-true plot gimmicks as:

- Freddy offing a survivor from a previous installment of 'Nightmare', continuing the trend set in Part 3 and continued in Part 4,

- The usual array of corny Freddy one-liners (the 'witticisms' he throws out in spades in this entry are his corniest yet) which add a little groan-worthy comedic edge to the carnage,

- A rather silly way of taking our fave undead homicidal maniac out of the picture,

- An ending that suggests even more Freddy havoc to be had in the future, and

- So called 'scary' moments that were somewhat gruesome, but not really all that scary to me. #ell, I got more of a laugh than a fright outta most of these moments of macabre mayhem...

On the upside, they threw in a rather entertaining trio of Freddy-kills and a few neat gags, which is something I've come to enjoy about the franchise (strangely enough, the body count here is probably the lowest of all the 'Nightmare' flicks). I also liked the further development of Freddy's background, helping to explain why he's so eff'd-up (BTW be on the lookout for an un-made-up Robert Englund as one of the asylum lunatics-- and the most likely guy to have fathered you-know-who). And the concept of him using the dreams of the heroine's unborn kid to get back in the swing of things was rather interesting, although I don't think it was executed quite as well as it could have been.

Special features on this disc include a theatrical trailer and English subtitles. The subtitles don't include all of the lines the characters say, but they don't omit too much either.

Summary: adorable moving and shocking movie
Review: some laughs
some quite horrific scenes
glad I got this on dvd
give it a try
Freddy is just as terrifying as the Wishmaster, and other sick bad guys in horror movies

Rating: 5 stars
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)!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: El Mundo Gira
Review: Simply "As The World Turns" meets "Fright Night 2". This shlock-fest about teen pregancy, rape, and a little bit of Freddy finds its way hurtling at you in like an 'F' on your Geometry Test.
Alice (Lisa Wilcox) returns as a high-school senior who wakes up pregnant. She is whisked away to a strange gothic dream world that is oddly reminescent of the 1986 film "Labryinth". I didn't know blind people could produce tears. Soon, Alice's baby daddy, Dan, dies in a horrible accident and she can only rely on her dim witted best friends Gretta, Mark, and Yvonne.
While something new, but not pretty to look at, the CGI is here and is going to be here to stay.The primitive CGI effects are more than an eyesore, they are unneeded. I'm not even going to get into the pro-life vs. pro-choice garbage that plagues this movie. All I know is Alice wasn't all that good of an upcoming mother anyway with all her cigarette smoking and her screaming and her wanna-be Jet Li combo moves on Freddy Kruger. And speaking of Mr. Kruger, he is hardly even in the movie. I mean, not like when we do see him he is usually spouting howingly bad one-liners and made some chick eat hereself to death. I know it sounds corny and believe me, it looks cornier than it sounds. Yvonne, the swim chick, is probably the most annoying character in the whole "Nightmare on Elm Street" series, save for that gay boy on part 2. And Yvonne be all up in Alice's face with her head bobbin', finger snappin' stuff. I seriously thought she would kill Freddy with a infrared laser-beamed attidtude blast. And she was very fortunate because Freddy couldn't puncture her force field of assholishness.And all the pop culture refrences in this film feel dated at best. Alice ends up getting help from Sister Kreuger which ultimitaly leads to Freddy's rushed and unimaginintive demise.
Alice or should I say Lisa Wilcox can't act. Her Sissy Spacek lookin self thinks she owns the world with her leaden acting and wierd facial expressions when she talks. She is too pretty to be making them ugly faces. When she talks her whole face moves with her mouth. And she seriously thinks she's too cute for words. Then she was sitting there watching a show about a lost dog. Even though she gives the best acting performance in the movie, her acting is wooden and stiff and is nothing like her performance in Nightmare 4. All the rest of the actors are extremly horrible I mean God forbid them actually putting people through screen tests and Freddy Krueger is not himself. He is annoying and hardly kills anybody. This movie reminds me of on Her Majesty's Secret Service with all the talkings.
This movie is not scary, nor is it fascinating. It's simply a company trying to make a few extra more bucks on the public's willingness to go see these movies. They should have really stopped after part three. It's all trying to be all dark and brooding and the ending will leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. All the information that the movie gives you about Freddy is like "Who cares?" and "Yawn". It makes no sense and actually destroys what little mystque Freddy had about him at that point. I mean "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" or "Roseanne" or "Full House" is probably scarier than this movie, and that's the damn truth. This movie drags on so much and it really gets annoying when her son won't STOP RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS! Holy crap! It gets annoying after ten seconds. Then he won't STOP RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE HALLWAY! I would think that instead of using Lisa Wilcox for a second time, they should have used Jane Seymour or Markie Post as the lead actress.
Even when her baby is all deformed on the ultrasound and has horny protusions from it's head, Alice is still all like I wanna have this baby. To be a military brat, she is extremly naive about the real world. She is certainly pessimistic and annoying. All she dd was cry, whine, smoke, and whine somemore.And to think that Lisa Wilcox's recent movie was The New Adventures of Chasity Blade and that alone proves that she isn't doin much nowadays. Yvonne needed to have been killed off in the first five seconds of the movie.
Avoid this overlong, overwrought update to "Rosemary's Baby" it is certainly not worth your time. This movie never was good never had been or never will be. I gave this movie one star and that's being generous.
