Following Alice, the survivor from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, this sequel attempted to breathe new life into a dying franchise with limited success. This time around Krueger is terrorising Alice through the nightmares of her unborn baby. The make-up and effects are great but there isn´t much action and the plot is decidedly confused. We learn more about Freddy´s origins and Alice enlists help from the ghost of his hapless mother which all builds to a predictable ending. The acting is pretty ropy, there is no gore and this effort offers very little in the way of entertainment.
Bodycount - 3
Gore - good FX´s but sanitised for a teen audience
