The '80s was a magical time, guys. The music was catchy, the fashion was… well, questionable, and the horror films were top-notch. Speaking of horror films, do you remember the year 1989? It was the last year of this awesome decade and also the year when three major horror franchises released sequels that got mixed reviews.
That year, we saw Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Halloween 5, and – wait for it – A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. Yes, that's right – the fifth edition of the classic Freddy Krueger chronicles. This particular movie wasn't exactly everyone's cup of tea, but it's got its place in the Real Slashers video series, and that's what we're chatting about today!
Taking a Trip Down Elm Street
The Dream Child follows the story of Alice, who survived the fourth film and hopes for a peaceful life with fellow survivor Dan. She believes that Freddy Krueger was booted out for good. But nightmares and horror are Freddy's forte and they start invading her life soon enough.
Plot Twist in the Nightmare
Now, this is where things get really interesting. Alice finds out that she's pregnant and her friends start biting the dust. She becomes aware that Freddy might be weaponizing her unborn baby. Imagine having to fight a demonic presence while worrying about your unborn child. Scary stuff, right?
Star-Studded Nightmares
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child boasts an incredible cast with talents like Lisa Wilcox, Kelly Jo Minter, Erika Anderson, Danny Hassel, Beatrice Boepple, Whitby Hertford, Joe Seely, and Nicholas Mele.
