A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (stylized on-screen as A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child) is a 1989 American gothic slasher film directed by Stephen Hopkins and written by Leslie Bohem. It is the fifth installment in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, and stars Lisa Wilcox, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger.
Alice Johnson (Lisa Wilcox), a survivor of the fourth, who believes Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) has been eliminated for good. She optimistically hopes to start a life with fellow survivor Dan Jordan (Danny Hassel). The nightmares begin soon enough, though, and Alice learns she is pregnant. When her friends start dying, Alice suspects that Freddy is using the fetus within her as a weapon. Can she fight the demon while protecting her unborn child?
Victims[]
- Dan Jordan - Fused with a motorcycle by Freddy Krueger in the dream world, which caused him to crash in the real world. This appeared to be a regular driving accident, and some even suspected drunk driving despite the fact that Dan didn't drink.
- Greta Gibson - In the dream world, Freddy Krueger stuffed food into her mouth and threw her into the fridge, making her suffocate in the real world.
- Mark Gray - Sucked into a comic book by Freddy Krueger in the dream world, then turned to paper and sliced to bits with Freddy's clawed glove. In the real world, his body was presumably hacked into pieces, and a psychopathic murderer was suspected to physically be in the building.
- Freddy Krueger - Turned into an infant by Jacob Johnson using his power, then absorbed by Amanda's spirit, who walked into a light just as Freddy was trying to claw his way out. Freddy later returned in the next movie.
