5.9/10.The second worst one in the franchise where it's A Nightmare On Elm Street meets Rosemary's Baby.I thought this was a waste of Robert Englund's talent.They should've thought up something better like the lead goes into the dream world for most of the movie to battle Freddy.Lisa Wilcox is yet another bad leading actress here who shows the same amount of talent like Heather Langenkamp.That being is she's only doing this to build a resume.The two best leading ladies they had were Lisa Zane and Kim Myers.I just couldn't fully get invested into it without laughing at the absurdity of Freddy trying to be reborn as the lead's child.It's still watchable and still better than Wes Craven's New Nightmare.I still enjoy all these movies.

Revealing mistake: When Alice picks up the photocopied sheet about Amanda Kruger, if you pause, and read the article, it is actually about tax and the government. (00:53:30)

Trivia: In the dream sequence of the asylum where Amanda Krueger is trapped by the hundred maniacs one of the maniacs looks remarkably like Freddy. Presumably this was his biological father. (Of course this man was played by Robert Englund, the actor who plays Freddy)

More trivia for A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child

Question: I'm a little confused about Greta's death. Was it from eating too much or from her eating what was not good for her?

Answer: Her death was from Freddy overfeeding her while in the real world she choked to death.

Answer: In the VHS version, Freddy cut open her stomach and was feeding her own intestines. That's why when he cut open the doll on the high chair tray Greta was wincing and squirming as Freddy had just cut her stomach open. I guess you could say that that doll on the high chair tray was like a voodoo doll of Greta so whatever Freddy did to it happened to Greta too. Eventually, Freddy caused Greta to choke on her own intestines which caused her to choke to death in the real world.
