Most of A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 (The Dream Child) was filmed using a very unique technique with a blue filter lighting, creating a hypnotizing and dream-like quality.
This movie picks up nicely from the events in The Dream Master. Dan and Alice have began dating but she suddenly starts to have dreams about a nun locked in an asylum, wearing the name tag of Amanda Krueger.
She has become friends with a few new people in A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 (The Dream Child) such as Mark, Yvonne and Greta. After graduation, Dan and Alice are planning their trip to Europe.
While Alice is on her way to work, she suddenly finds herself at the asylum from her dreams. She is wearing Amanda’s uniform and being wheeled on a stretcher into a room but when she looks around, it is now Amanda on the stretcher instead, having a baby.
The baby escapes the delivery room and Alice chases it to the same church where she defeated Freddy before. The baby turns into Krueger, Amanda comes to help and Alice wakes up, she is at work however, she is four hours late and has no idea why.
Alice calls Dan and as he is on his way to the diner, he falls asleep. Clearly there is a pattern developing here in A
Nightmare on Elm Street 5 (The Dream Child). Krueger made him fall asleep and caused him to crash into a car.
While Alice and Dan are at the hospital, she finds out she is pregnant and Krueger begins his killing spree. First, Greta eats herself to death and soon he goes after Mark but Alice enters his dream to help. She also discovers that Krueger is using her baby to enter her friends’ dreams. Mark is soon cut into tiny pieces.
During the time when Alice was at the hospital with Dan in A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 (The Dream Child), she meets a little boy named Jacob. She now also realizes that Jacob is her unborn child. Alice sends her friend Yvonne over to the asylum to find and release Amanda’s soul while she goes to find Jacob herself. Krueger pulls her into a labyrinth to slow her down but she finally catches up with him.
Alice figures out the disturbing fact that Krueger has been living in her and she nearly dies trying to force him out of her. In the meantime, Yvonne managed to release the soul of Amanda who shows up to teach Jacob how to defeat Krueger. However, Jacob tries to hold onto Krueger after realizing how much more power he can have with him. Alice and Jacob struggle but Alice wins.
A few months later, Alice finally gives birth to her sweet little baby Jacob. A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 (The Dream Child) ends with Alice in church with her father, Jacob and Yvonne but surrounding them are many children who have appeared in the series, all wearing Sunday clothes and humming Krueger’s famous “One, two…” song.
