A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child

Your birth was a curse on the whole of humanity. Join PJ and Derek as they discuss Stephen Hopkins’ visually ambitious entry to the franchise A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989). In this episode the guys unpack the film's dark visual aesthetic, its inventive and grotesque death scenes, and the deeply unsettling themes of teen pregnancy, trauma, and inherited evil. 📺
