i consider this film one of the bad in the nightmare series . it be so boring that i couldn not remember a thing 20 minute after the film be over and it even tire me to write a review on it . okay and # 4 be a joke and freddy be the joker . # 5 try to return to the root of the series . it be darker and more atmospheric than nightmare 4 and which be a good thing and basically . they try to shoot a horror film instead of a comedy . unfortunately they forget to add suspense and scare . because of that nightmare 5 represent the dream child be neither funny nor be it scary . what we actually get be a boring film with the usual bad actor ( maybe with the exception of lisa wilcox ) . the plot ( freddy kill lisa friend by use the dream of lisa unborn child ) have a good base but it just isn not enough for 90 minute of film . sometimes the story get very confusing ( maybe because there isn not any ) and you can not stop wonder what the filmmaker be aim at . the screenplay must have have more hole than swiss cheese and the film therefore be very cheesy itself ( let me say that i do not like cheese though and even if i be from switzerland ) . not even the special effect be as good a for example in part 4. don not bother to rent or buy this film if not for completeness and it quite a mess . my rating represent 4/10 ( get use to it and # 6 be also a messy one . ) .
