Pesadilla en Elm Street 5: El niño de los sueños

Con la quinta entrega ya se nota un ligero agotamiento de la saga, todo se desarrolla a una escala menor que en las anteriores películas, y cuando los personajes se duermen y caen en las garras del asesino es muy engorroso. La escena más llamativa es la del «apareamiento con una moto». Por lo demás la secuela es bastante aburrida, innecesariamente demasiado seria y no tan entretenida como otras Pesadillas en Elm Street, incluyendo la película loca que siguió a la quinta.

This episode was not fun. There are some good scenes, but The Dream Child is very inconsistent overall and already half an hour after watching it, I’m mixing it with previous episodes. (25.10.2008)

"Kids... always a disappointment." Freddy cleverly chose a new platform right next to the placenta, but by now we sort of know that something other than an abortion will temporarily stop him at the end. All those gothic, comic, or dungeon undertones try to come across as dark, and there are a few interesting moments (a feast splashed with the legendary scene from The Meaning of Life and Švankmajer or the graphics resembling the Take On Me music video by A-ha), but the rushed filming, inadequate budget, and final editing into a less violent version significantly undermined the director's vision. Perhaps it was some consolation for Stephen Hopkins that this earned him the sequel to Predator. (13.10.2022)

Freddy Krueger comes to life again, but this time (perhaps for the first time since the first episode) there is horror that is truly horror. Stephen Hopkins came up with a lot of ideas and many times it's a pleasure to watch this filth. (07.01.2018)
