Good things about The Dream Child
A lot of people say that The Dream Child is the worst of the series, or simply that it sucks. But I have a lot of good things to say about it.
* Lisa Wilcox returns for another great performance as Alice. After Heather Langenkamp's Nancy, I think she's the best heroine of the series (as in I liked her more than Kristen, Maggie, Lori, and Rooney Mara's Nancy).
* Good performances from Kelly Jo Minter (although I hated her character), Erika Anderson, and Nicholas Mele. Danny Hassel didn't have much to do and Joe Seely was pretty wooden at times.
* A good story. I love this series for always having something new to do with each entry. Here, I loved the idea of Freddy using Alice's unborn child. It's disturbing and well done.
* The subtle sex scene during the credits was tastefully done, and Alice's nightmare of experiencing what Amanda Krueger went through was chilling.
* The death sequences are all very innovative and well done.
* The special effects are AMAZING.
* The film has a nice gothic style and I loved the Westin Hills set, as well as all of the crazy nightmare sets such as the comic book world and the upside down stairs.
* The score is very eerie, it's the best score of the series other than the original.
* I LOVE Let's Go by Kool Moe Dee which plays over the end credits.
