Negative Positive
Title: Amusing entry in the series, but rather lacking
Review: Stephen Hopkins (Lost in Space, Predator 2) helmed this fifth entry into the Nightmare on Elm Street series where we find Alice (Lisa Wilcox), the survivor from the previous Dream Master, pregnant with Freddy once again on the prowl. It is here where the series begins to try to dish up more details on Freddy's past to add to the story; but hardly anything can save this dismal installment. Freddy's one liners are stupid and aren't funny one bit, the acting is simply horrid (Robert Englund just looks more bored in his role than ever before), and the film as a whole isn't scary one bit. The few saving graces of The Dream Child are Hopkins' stylish direction and some nice kills and gore effects, but for the most part this entry is just plain dull.
Is the review positive or negative?
