i be still try to determine whether the previous installment be bad than this one and or vice versa . be that it be nearly fifteen year since i saw this film and the fact that i remember so little about it do not bode well . perhaps it be simply because i only watch it once or twice and but i doubt it . if there be anything worth remember about this film and you can rest assure i would remember it . at the time this film be release and the franchise be still enter it die phase and so a lot of medium coverage be allot to it . it never a good sign when teenie pop magazine contain explanation of the plot basic . one such article have to explain that freddy be leave too weak to infest the dream of grown human and so he decide to go after alice unborn son . so far and so good and but this be the job of the writer or the director to explain to the audience . it should not be leave to some unrelated publication . make use of the trivia give in part three about freddy conception and one could half expect scene that would lift this joke out of the horror for infant category and but ala and that be not to be . it go to show the sheer idiocy of the american rating system that a piece of bharni esque garbage like this could get the same rating a a genuinely frightening piece like the original . by this time and the franchise could not attract anyone with an active career . fortunately and or unfortunately depend on how you look at it and lisa wilcox be there to provide a quotient of competent act . or perhaps she just look competent by comparison to the rest of the cast . either way and give that her last role be in something call the all new adventure of chastity blade and i doubt she really have anything else go for her . even poor old robert englund have be in good production than that in the past fifteen year . give that box office return be in a steady decline and and not just for this franchise and at the time and one would have think that the studio would realize neuter their film do not make them more saleable . in fact and this particular film and like it immediate predecessor and be so neutered that not only do it fail to attract a new audience and both succeed in alienate the core audience that originally support the franchise . despite this and part five must be give some credit for not have the bright and luminescent feeling that make part four so insulting to look at . i give a nightmare on elm street part five a one out of ten . by try to appeal to everyone and or the mpaa idea of everyone and it succeed in appeal to noone . like part two and four and one could erase it from the continuity entirely and and nobody would notice the difference .
