TROUGH AN UNBORN CHILDS DREAMS, FREDDY IS AGAIN BROUGHT TO LIFE!

This movie starts of good, with a naked Lisa Wilcox in the shower. She defeated Freddy in Elm Street 4, but is about to face him again. She is not aware that she is pregnant, but Freddy is.
Lisa Wilcox`s acting is really improved from the the previous film. Once again Wes Craven is back with the story, - and the result is a much better movie. Freddy is again threatening and creepy, and much less the comedian from Nightmare 4. Here you get to see the young Amanda Krueger who`s accidentally locked in with a hundred maniacs, and you`ll see Robert Englund without make-up as one of them. Could he be Freddy`s dad? Freddy is using the dreams of Alice`s ( Lisa Wilcox ) unborn child, to get to Alice`s friends. You will also see a creepy Freddybaby as you witness him beeing reborn. Very Good. Once again the movie and the actors are good, thats the way we like it.
Picture and sound on this DVD, is astonishing great. It keeps getting better for each film in the series. The Dream Child is way better than The Dream Master and Freddy`s Revenge, but not in the league of Dream Warriors and Nightmare 1.
I give it a 5 on the pointscale.
