770 A Nightmare On Elm St 5 : The Dream Child (1989 )

 This  fifth  instalment of  the  Elm St  Franchise endeavours  to introduce some more adult  themes  and provide a bit more back story to Freddie  with  sporadic  success. Alice from the last  film  returns now  pregnant  and  finds that Freddie is  infiltrating her world through her unborn son. This time round , Freddie's  mother is  the  key  to  defeating  him. Fans  didn't like  it  much and  the  ending's  muddled  but  most  of  it's  watchable  enough.
