A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)
Having killed all the Elm Street children, Krueger's path to further victims was through the dreams of the blessed and cursed Alice Johnson (Lisa Wilcox). Since Alice became a true 'Dream Warrior' Freddy's path was blocked. However, Freddy found a way through via the dreams of Alice and Dan's (Danny Hassel) unborn baby, the 'Dream Child' or 'Dream Fetus'. Yeah this one's pretty bad, though I kind of admire the writers persistence in keeping everything connected through a seemingly improvised form of quasi-logic. There are some reasonably creative set pieces and they bring Krueger's mother back, but at this point the series is running largley on cheese and momentum. *1/2
