Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989) by Kevin Thomas for Los Angeles Times — 11 Oct 1997
Unfortunately, Aussie helmer Stephen Hopkins adopts a music-video approach, delaying the boring exposition for several reels and usually cutting away from climaxes to destroy much of the film’s impact.
Acting is highly variable. Saving grace is the series of spectacular special effects set pieces featuring fanciful makeup, mattes, stopmotion animation and opticals.
