This is a film that was given to me a few years ago in a box full of free DVDs. It is pretty good for a low-budget horror... though I definitely seen better. There wasn't any really familiar names to me in this one. Usually I know at least one or two of the cast members... but not this time. Over-all I would say it is worth the time put in to watch it... just don't expect too much.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child
Movie Count: 19
TV Ep Count: 5
Time Started: 5:30am
Plot:
 Freddy Krueger returns to deliver a whole new breed of terror in his most fiendishly perverse frightfest yet!

Unable to overpower the Dream Master who vanquished him in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 4', Freddy (Robert Englund) haunts the innocent dreams of her unborn child and preys upon her friends with sheer horror. Will the child be saved from becoming Freddy's newest weapon or will the maniac again resurrect his legacy of evil?

For this eye-popping installment, director Stephen Hopkins ('Lost in Space', 'Predator 2') enlisted make-up wizard David Miller ('The Terminator'), original creator of Freddy's hideous visage. The result: a face not even a mother could love, and terror beyond your wildest nightmares!

My Thoughts:
This is another installment I really liked a lot... thought it was very smart how they made it so he was using an unborn baby's dreams to get at everyone. I must say though... other then part 2... this is the group of teens I cared about the least. I don't know... there just wasn't any kids in this one I could relate to... nothing like me... nothing like any of the kids I knew in school. but as I said... despite that... this is a very good installment... I enjoyed every minute of it.

2.07 Juliet is Bleeding (1996-02-01)

Director: George Bloomfield
Cast: Paul Gross (Constable Benton Fraser), David Marciano (Detective Ray Vecchio), Beau Starr (Lt. Harding Welsh), Daniel Kash (Detective Louis Gardino), Tony Craig (Detective Jack Huey), Catherine Bruhier (Elaine), Lee Purcell (Louise St. Laurent), Carrie-Anne Moss (Irene Zuko), Jim Bracchitta (Frank Zuko), Hannes Jaenicke (Michael), Sherry Miller (Commander Sherry O'Neil), Louis Di Bianco (Charlie), Pat Farenga (Pat), Falconer Abraham (Bomb Squad Leader), Joe Pingue (Jimmy Roastbeef), Harve Sokoloff (Zwick), Chelsi Smith (Wife #1), Shanna Moakler (Wife #2)

Too much tragedy at once for this series. I like that they , but it then got too much about Ray and his love of this life (of which we never heard anything about before if I remember correctly). Although Carrie-Anne Moss did a good job.
