A Nightmare On Elm Street: The Dream Child

A Nightmare On Elm Street is one of the most iconic horror movies of all time,and it spawned 6 sequels and a pretty awful crossover movie (and did you now he kinda cameos in Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday?).

The 5th movie in the franchise is called The Dream Child and this time it is based on the fact that unborn children dream...which means basically there will never be any escape from Freddy as one way or another he will come back to get you.

Some of the effects for the deaths are pretty good, for example when Dan becomes one with his motorbike and there are some interesting ideas on nightmares like someone turning into a comic book character and when they are cut they bleed coloured ink, but this does not make for a good movie.

Sadly this movie is quite slow, there are not too many deaths in this movie (not necessarily a bad thing) and the quips from Freddy make him more of a clown than a horror icon.

The only reason you should watch this movie is if you are a die hard Freddy fan and want to watch everything, if you want to see how to make a lame horror movie or if you want to see the fall of a horror icon.

A Nightmare On Elm Street: The Dream Child is rated 18 (although I have absolutely no idea why, it should be a 15 to be honest...) and is available on DVD.
