Critics Consensus: A Nightmare on Elm Street feels exhausted by this cheesy fifth entry, bogged down by a convoluted mythology while showing none of the chilling technique that kicked off the franchise.

The Dream Child has good ideas, and is entertaining despite its flaws. Partly a victim of a rushed production, and partly of extensive MPAA cuts, the final product is a slapdash jumble of what could have been a far more compelling entry in the franchise.

A pretty tired effort.

Drives itself so far off the cliff of campiness that it's hard to believe this franchise ever might have been good.

The Freddy Muppet Baby is laughable, but give this some credit: It might be the only movie in history to contain references to both M.C. Escher and a-ha.

What "The Dream Child" most successfully carries to term is an empathetic, emotional engagement of teenage trauma and pregnancy. It reflects a decade-ending boiling point in the tension between Hollywood button-pushers and political pencil-pushers.
