Brief Description  A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child is a 1989 American gothic slasher film directed by Stephen Hopkins and starring Lisa Wilcox and Robert Englund as the iconic dream demon Freddy Krueger. 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.

Plot:
Taking place one year after the events of the previous film, the story follows survivor Alice Johnson, who discovers she is pregnant. The dream-demon Freddy Krueger finds a loophole to return by invading the subconscious mind of Alice's unborn son, Jacob, using the child's pure dreams as a conduit to harvest new souls and hunt down Alice's friends. To stop him, Alice must seek out the spirit of Freddy’s deceased mother, Amanda Krueger, to help Jacob fight off the entity before Freddy can be reborn into the real world.

Alice goes to bed to find Freddy and save her son. Realizing Freddy has been hiding within her every time she fell asleep, she draws Freddy out from within herself. Yvonne finds Amanda's remains at the asylum, and Amanda joins the fight in the dream world, encouraging Jacob to use the power Freddy had been giving him. Jacob destroys Freddy, and his infant form is absorbed by his mother, while Alice picks up baby Jacob. Warning Alice away, Amanda seals Freddy away in time. Several months later, Jacob Daniel Johnson is enjoying a picnic with his mother, grandfather, and Yvonne. Some children jumping rope nearby are humming Freddy's rhyme, hinting at Freddy's return.
