a nightmare on elm street represent the dream childthis be a bad movie . there no escape it . i love the series and i think freddy be probably the best character ever in horror movie . but even be a fan i can not help but see this movie be mediocre . there not even an effort to build an interesting story and strong character . by now they have just give up . they do not even try . they be the production of course and hop for a few more easy dollar . the story doesn not grab your attention . it so simple it almost absent . alice and a survivor from part 4 be now pregnant . freddy be come back through the baby dream . at the beginning we learn that to stop him alice must find his mother . and that it . the story advance slowly since there so little plot mean it turn pretty boring after a few minute of bad dialogue and awful acting . in fact that the only scary thing and the acting and since the death be not even slightly cool . the character be so uninteresting we couldn not care less for them . the girl be as unattractive a possible . the whole cast remind me of a bad amateur theatre group . i have see well actor in school play . it embarrass really . lisa wilcox still manage to bring some class to this . she be beautiful and sexy and have some talent . but the material just do not let her shine . what a pity . stephen hopkins work be nowhere close to renny harlin´s brilliant direction in dream master . he try some imaginative shot near the end but that tension harlin and craven create so well in the previous movie be no where to be find . the dream child be just another unimaginative sequel . it the kind of movie that give horror series a bad name . the end for the once scary freddy . it too sad to see him now . a clown that not funny . a bad joke . goodbye freddy .
