Reviews for A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 - The Dream Child
Because nothing says giggly slasher escapism quite like child endangerment and abortion discussions. Please pass the popcorn.
Freddy Krueger is now a full-blown cartoonish caricature of his initially dread-induced former self.
Neither an improvement nor a failure over the previous film, this movie begins stretching the credibility of its victims' deaths.
When a movie gives up before the one-minute mark, you know you're in for a long haul.
