What happens
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child is a 1989 American gothic slasher film directed by Stephen Hopkins and written by Leslie Bohem. It is the sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988) and the fifth installment in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. It stars Lisa Wilcox, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. The film follows Krueger, using a now pregnant Alice Johnson's baby's dreams to claim new victims. Following the success of the previous film, Hopkins was quickly hired to direct a sequel. The general tone is much darker than that of the previous films, with a blue filter lighting technique is used in most of the scenes. The film had a troubled production, with many changes made to the script during pre-production, and had many scenes removed from the final cut. A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child was released on August 11, 1989. The film grossed $22.1 million on a budget of $8 million, marking a steep decline in box office receipts from its two predecessors, though still a box office success and became the highest-grossing slasher film of 1989. It received generally negative reviews from critics. The film was followed by Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
