Summary: "Nine, ten, he's back again..."
Review: Although one of the weaker movies in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series, "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child" is still decent, and even good. It's not the best, and it's not the worst. Just when you thought it was finally safe to go back to sleep again, Freddy is once again lurking the shadows of your nightmares, just waiting to fuel his murderous rage once again.

Alice might've put an end to Freddy's rampage in the fourth movie, but something isn't right. She's having nightmares again and is losing control of her dreams. One of the nightmares takes her back to the very church that contains Freddy's soul. Resurrected once again, Freddy is anxiously waiting to get his hands bloody again, and an unborn child is the key for him to get back into everybody's nightmares. This time, Freddy's more powerful and unstoppable than before. Chances look very dim for poor Alice and her unborn child.

It isn't the scariest one of them all, and it certainly doesn't have the grandest of scripts, but it is still an enjoyable Freddy movie. Anytime Freddy's in a movie, it's bound to be a good time. Robert Englund is again the star of the movie and really makes it all worthwhile to watch. The acting and writing could've been a little better, but it also could've been a lot worse.

Again, this isn't the most explosive DVD you'll find, but it still has some neat upgrades. The picture and sound is really good. You have the choice of watching it in a new Dolby Digital mix that was made specifically for the DVD, or for you absolute film buffs there's the original stereo mix that's included as well. Other features include cast and crew bios along with DVD-ROM content.

The only real drawback is that this is the "R-Rated" version of the film, and not the unrated one many of us have seen on VHS. There some altered scenes, but that's because that's the way they were intended for the theatrical version, I think. It would've been nice to have the unrated version of the film instead. So that's another thing to be aware of.

"A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child" isn't the grandest of Freddy films, but it still does its job; and that's to entertain. While a lot of people don't really care much for this particular movie in the series, I still think it's worthwhile to watch. Just remember that it's NEVER safe to go back to sleep, no matter how much you believe Freddy is gone...

Review: ONE OF THEBEST IN SERIES UNCUTS BETTER VERY GORY INCLUDING GREDAS DEATH SCENE EHERE FREDDY RIPS HER OPEN THEY SHOW HER BLOOD AND GUTS AND FEEDS THEM TO HER

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THE WEAKEST ENTRY IN THE SERIES
Review: HERE'S THE PLOT; A GIRL GETS PREGNANT, AND FREDDY'S STALKING HER IN HER DREAMS. THIS IS EVEN WORSE THAN #2. THIS ONE WAS MADE JUST TO CASH IN ON THE SUCCESS OF THE LAST 4. I REALLY THINK THIS ONE SHOULD'VE HAD THE PLOT IT HAS. THERE IS SOME OK SPECIAL EFFECTS, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THE MOVIE'S COMPLETE GARBAGE. HORROR FANS, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T RENT OR BUY THIS IF YOU ALREADY HAVEN'T DONE IT, WAIT FOR IT TO COME ON TV SOMETIME IF YA WANT TO SEE IT WITHOUT WASTING YA MONEY.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It made absolutely no sense
Review: This is tied with "Freddy's Revenge" as the worst sequel. Nothing made sense, it followed "The Dream Master" in that Alice appeared in this, she and Dan were together and she becomes pregnant shortly before high school graduation, but doesn't find out until Dan is killed in an accident, but that's about it.

There aren't enough words to describe how awful this was. The story behind Freddy was explained but it didn't matter anyway because he was brought back.

This isn't Freddy at his best.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: THE BEST IN THE SERIES
Review: Alright all the series are stupid, I didn't like sequels like part 1,2,3,6. those were the worst and weakest entries.but parts 4,this one part 5,and NEW NIGHTMARE. are the best in the series.this one starts with Alice trying to save her newborn baby from Freddy Krueger he will possess the toddler to be like him,so Alice gets help from her friends and even a nun to keep Freddy from the toddler.the special effects are awesome and so is the script, quite enjoyable killing scenes with gore and gruesomeness to keep watchable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best
