Summary: poor
Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 reeks of a bad script. Don't even bother with this film. I feel that Part 4 and 5 really should not have been added to the series but Part 5 is the worst of the two and without question the worst of the sequels.
Rating: 
Summary: Gets Worse.
Review: The series by the the time this movie was tiring and they had to release as many as they could. I think the Alice character was the weakest part of the movie and they kept her alive. they should have just scrapped this movie although Alice's boyfriend was cute. This was probably the third worst in the series. I do not recommend it.

Summary: The Comic Book Guy IS SO COOL!!!
Review: PLOT: This highly controversial entry attempted to bring back the horror in the Nightmare series. Well, in my opinion, they only made it half the way. If they had only gotten rid of those one liners...DARN CO-SCREENWRITERS THAT THINK THEY KNOW EVERTHING THE AUDIENCE WANTS! OK, now that I got that out of my system the movie is about Alice, the returning survivor from Part 4, comes back and is pregenant from Dan. Somehow Freddy uses the dreams of the unborn child to trigger the murders of Alice's homies.CHARACTERS: What an upgrade! Even better than the ones from the original Nightmare. Greda is OK, Mark RULZ, Alice's Dad is hip, Dan is Dull, and I forgot the other girl's name, but she was cool. DELETED SCENES NOT IN THIS R-RATED VERSION: The Greda scene in the R-Rated version is confusing, but is clear in the uncut version. Freddy is ripping out her guts and feeding them to her. Dan's motorcycle scene is more graphic originally. To get the un-cut version, it is an older video and would probably be in BLOCKBUSTER. It also contains a music video. Overall: This one is UNDERRATED. If it stood alone, it would suck. But compared to part 4, it is a knock-out classic. A few minor campy scenes rip a couple of stars away from this one. The asylem is creepy. The comic book guy Mark's fate is too much for most people, and seriously bums me out. This one gets 3 out of 4

Summary: Continues
Review: This film was not as good as Nightmare 4, but it was pretty good. It's basically about the Dream Master getting pregnant and Freddy is coming into her unborn childs dreams. Very good. It also sheds more light on how Freddy was conceived. And what he did to his mother.

Summary: Easily The Weakest, But Still Enjoyable.
Review: A Nightmare On Elm Street The Dream Child begins by introducing us to Alice (Lisa Wilcox) the survivor of A Nightmare On Elm Street 4 The Dream Master. She's now living happily, with only one more day till her high school graduation. Her father is no-longer drinking, and goes to meetings. He no longer treats Alice badly. She's also going to go to Paris with her boy-friend Dan (Danny Hassal, from the fourth movie). She's totally happy, and has almost forgotten of the horror she had to face a few years earlier. But then, one night, after hours of passion with Dan, she has an awful nightmare involving Amanda Krueger, and her being locked in the mental institution, and being raped by the lunatics. She's quite disturbed by this, but Dan simply says "If you don't dream him up, he can't hurt you, or us". She shruggs, still feeling a bit uncomfortable. But her fears only get larger when Dan is killed by a truck. She then finds out that she's pregnant with a boy. Also, there's a little kid she keeps seeing, whose name is Jacob (Whitby Heartferd, Jurrasic Park). She trys to tell her friends about Krueger, but they think she's stressed by the pregnancy. But then, her friends pay the grisly price for not listening. How is Freddy getting to them if Alice is awake? If you want to find out, watch the movie. My personal opinions about this film are very controversial. Every time I watch it, I feel different about it. It is the weakest (yes, I find it weaker than Part 2, which I liked), but it still is very enjoyable. Robert Englund is still super-duper cool as the monster. He has now reached the point where he is not one BIT scary. He's cracking jokes (some funny, some not) at nearly everything that happens. I don't mind this, but I sort-of preffer the dark and evil Freddy from the first and second. But, as I said, the movie isn't really boring, and is still entertaining and worth a watch. This DVD is pretty good. An excellent picture and sound quality (much better than the video), a few extras (production notes, Jump To A Nightmare, etc.). Some fans are mad because the DVD is not the unrated director's cut. Don't worry. I just got it in the mail yesterday, and was rather dissapointed. There are only about three new thing (that aren't a major big deal) and a couple added shots, but nothing to exciting, and in a way I preffer the theatrical version. If you really MUST have the un-rated version, it's quite cheap to buy used (about 5 dollors). All in all, this movie's well worth a watch. Rent, or buy it today (prefferably buy the box set.)

Summary: The worst in the series
Review: The fifth installment of a Nightmare on Elm Street brings us a novel commentary on the 80's drive towards fetal personhood. Freddy uses the "dreams" of a fetus to wreak havoc on the same old town and group of jaded but gullible teens. Although the credibility of this claim is debatable, it was eerily similar to the pretenses made by anti-abortion activists after having failed to point fingers at the pregnant woman herself. The "fetal-rights" premise held that the fetus was a person with the full capabilities of a born person and was a separate entity that should enjoy full status over the woman even if her rights and needs conflicted. Although I personally like horror movies, the appropriation of anti-choice rationale as a "good plot" is nauseating. While there were real women whose health was being shortchanged as a result of the initial success of fetal rights, Wes Craven decided to omit all of that and ignore the real nightmarish consequences that followed. In what reads like an anti-choice message, the fetus can supposedly dream and is shown several times as a living active entity with powers greater than the mother carrying it. No dissenting opinion is ever offered, and despite the legalization of abortion, the option (which presumably would stop the dreams) is never broached as an option. The unexpected and poorly explained pregnancy (literally it seems as if Alice wakes up pregnant) is unquestionably treated as a woman's burden without actually ever discovering Alice's personal feelings. Ironically, in keeping with this theme, we never see her making prenatal care appointments and she is a hollywood stock "middle class nice girl" who has pretty clothes and comes from "a good home". The risks of carrying a pregnancy to term, especially when under severe emotional and physical stress are never revealed, and the ultrasound pretends that the fetus has a heartbeat soon after conception, as well as resembles a baby human. Medical implausability is ignored in favor of simplifying an underlying real-life social question. While none of the series can honestly be considered feminist (Freddy enjoys torturing women) this is by far the most disgusting movie because of the political messages attached in it. Even if the case can be made that teen pregnancy is nightmarish-and hence not a paean to anti-choicers, this is not satisfactory in my book.
