Description of this Freddy Poster
Nightmare Child is a 1989 American gothic slasher film directed by Stephen Hopkins and written by Leslie Bohem. It is the fifth installment in the Freddy franchise, and stars Lisa Wilcox, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. The film follows Krueger, who uses the dreams of a now-pregnant Alice Johnson's baby to claim new victims.The overall tone of the film is much darker than previous films. A blue filter lighting technique is used in most scenes. This is one of the last slasher movies released in the 1980s.
The Nightmare Child was released on August 11, 1989 and grossed $22.1 million on a budget of $8 million, representing a sharp drop in revenue compared to Dream Warriors and Freddy's Nightmare, but still a box office success and the highest-grossing horror film of 1989. It received mostly negative reviews.
The film was followed by Freddy's End: The Last Nightmare (1991).
In June 1989, a year after the previous film, Alice and Dan started dating and there is no sign of Freddy Krueger. One day, while taking a shower after having sex with Dan, she has a vision of herself, dressed in a nun's habit and wearing a badge reading Amanda Krueger, in a strange asylum. She is attacked by patients in the hospital but wakes up. The next day, Alice graduates from high school alongside her new friends, Greta, an aspiring but reluctant model, Mark, a comic book fan, and Yvonne, a hospital volunteer and swimmer. Alice confides her nightmare to Dan, who tells her that she can control her dreams.
On her way to work, Alice ends up at the asylum, where she witnesses Amanda giving birth to a horribly deformed baby. Amanda tries to retrieve the baby before he escapes, but he sneaks out of the operating room. Alice follows the baby into the church where she defeated Freddy in the previous film. The baby finds Freddy's remains and quickly grows into an adult, hinting to Alice that he has found the key to return. Alarmed, she contacts Dan, who falls asleep on his way to see her. Freddy attacks and electrocutes Dan, transforming him into a frightening man/machine hybrid before swerving him into oncoming traffic. Alice sees Dan's body come to life and taunt her before passing out. Waking up in a hospital, she learns of Dan's death and learns that she is pregnant by him. During the night, she receives a visit from a young boy named Jacob, but the next day, Yvonne tells her that there are no children on her floor and that there is no children's service.
Alice tells her friends about Freddy and his lineage; Yvonne refuses to listen, but Mark and Greta are more supportive. That afternoon, during a dinner at her home, Greta falls asleep at the table. She dreams of lashing out at her mother and ranting about her controlling nature, before Freddy arrives and forces her to eat her own organs before choking her in front of a laughing audience. In the real world, Greta drops dead in front of her mother and their guests. Yvonne and Alice visit Mark, who is mourning Greta's death, and a rift grows between them. Mark falls asleep and is almost killed by Freddy but Alice saves him before seeing Jacob again. Jacob implies that Alice is his mother. Alice asks Yvonne to give her an early ultrasound and discovers that Freddy is using Jacob to attack her friends even when she is awake and that he made her eat his victims to make him like himself.
Yvonne and Dan's parents still think Alice is crazy. Dan's parents insist that she give the baby to them when he is born, which Alice refuses. Alice and Mark research Krueger and the nun Amanda. Realizing that Amanda was trying to stop Freddy, they investigate her whereabouts and Alice falls asleep, hoping to find Amanda at the asylum. There, Freddy lures him by threatening Yvonne, who has fallen asleep in a jacuzzi. Alice saves Yvonne who finally believes her. Mark falls asleep and is drawn into a comic book world, where Freddy turns him into a paper cutout and cuts him into pieces.
Alice goes to bed to find Freddy and saves her son. Realizing that Freddy was hiding inside her every time she fell asleep, she pushed him out of her body. Yvonne finds Amanda's remains at the asylum and joins the fight in the dream world, encouraging Jacob to use the power Freddy gave him. Jacob destroys Freddy and his infant form is absorbed by his mother while Alice retrieves baby Jacob. By warning Alice, Amanda seals Freddy in time.
Several months later, Jacob Daniel Johnson enjoys a picnic with his mother, grandfather and Yvonne. Children jumping rope nearby hum Freddy's nursery rhyme, foreshadowing Freddy's return.
