Continuity mistake: When Alice and Mark are collecting all the sheets from the floor, Alice looks at a sheet about Amanda Krueger. Then in the next wide shot as her dad calls for her, all the sheets are in a pile to her right. Then in the following closeup, she starts picking up sheets of paper from all around her. (00:53:35)

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.

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