The series here takes a depressing nosedive into zero-degree filmmaking.
Fifth edition of the hit Nightmare series is a poorly constructed special effects showcase.
A genre film that won't totally insult your intelligence or your eyes.
As for Englund, he still looks as if he's been working at Domino's too long, and he still sounds as if he's stealing his material from Don Rickles.
The progressively convoluted nature of its storyline ultimately stands as A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child's most egregious failing...
Director Stephen Hopkins does an imaginative job in visualizing the bizarre, freely associative nightmares and produces some memorably surrealistic scenes.
Despite an impressive bag of special effects tricks, old Fred is starting to resemble one of those dead horses that studio execs insist on flogging.
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.
A flimsily plotted but visually impressive addition to the endless Freddy Krueger saga.
Ugh. My eyelashes hurt just thinking about this flick.
Another solid outing for Freddy...
Probably the worst of the Nightmare on Elm Street flicks.
