This was the first scary movie I saw in the movie theater. My older sister took me when I was eleven. This was not a very scary movie to me and never resonated as strongly as Nightmare 1 and Nightmare 3.

“It’s a boy!” Freddy proudly proclaims after he is reborn
from the womb of Amanda Krueger within one of Alice’s nightmares in A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child.
Alice (Lisa Wilcox) is one of two survivors from the previous film, along with
Dan, now her boyfriend. Oddly, Alice has begun having Freddy nightmares while
she’s presumably awake. What she later discovers is that her unborn child
inside her is capable of dreaming, providing Freddy his valuable invitation to
kill again.
