A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

Many years after Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) first applied his sadistic, evil ways on Nancy (Heather Langenkeamp). Now she is all grown up and with her nightmares behind her, she is trying to help teens cope with their dreams. Big problem in store as creepy Freddy begins invading the kid's dreams and causes enough fear to begin suicides. Let Freddy be Freddy as you enjoy. Also starring: Patricia Arquette, Craig Wasson, John Saxon, Brooke Bundy and Laurence Fishburne.

Three years after A Nightmare on Elm Street and its follow up sequel made Wes Craven the horror king of the 1980s, Dream Warriors came out and became profitable, forcing a fourth film to be made to be released the following year, a trend which lasted until 1989. In 1991, the first 3-d entry in the series, Freddie's Dead, came out, soon to be followed by Wes Craven's New Nightmare three years after that. It took 12 years for Freddy to meet Jason in their highest grossing movie ever, and then got rebooted for each character, each with diminishing results. The title song by Dokken is a classic, and Patricia Arquette is hot in her film debut. The effects are very good and the scares are not that cheap. It is a movie not for kids.

The third film is the best sequel of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise. Heather Langenkamp is back for Freddy, she has new friends: the dream warriors. The script is thrilling and creepy, fulled of a dark atmosphere and great surrealistic scenes, the nightmares and death scenes are the top ones in the whole franchise. A masterpiece!

Dream Warriors is without a doubt the best Elm Street sequel. The first 2 dealt with just one main character against Freddy and everyone else thinking they're crazy. But of course, after a while people start realizing they're all dreaming about Freddy. And If he can use their dreams against them, they can also use their dreams against him. Brilliant! This is where the deaths became more elaborate and Freddy started to spout out catchy one-liners. A lot of people resent this film for starting the whole 'joker Freddy' trend, but this has just the right amount of Freddy wit to still have him be scary and threatening, which really he is. This is the most exciting, thrilling, imaginative Freddy movie of the bunch. You have to see it to believe it. My Rating: 6.5/10

A person could make the argument that this is the best if the 80's slasher films. I would agree! It just creepy and dark enough to have some scares. But also started introducing the comedy that would actually become too overused in later sequels. Probably the best kills in the series.

This is certainly one of the better "Nightmare on Elm Street" sequels. For the most part the dream sequences strike the perfect balance of silly and spooky, this film expands upon the world of the original film, it stars young Patricia Arquette ("Boyhood") and Lawrence Fishburne ("The Matrix"), and best of all Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp, "New Nightmare") makes her triumphant return to the franchise. I won't say this is a great movie, but if you enjoy the franchise, then it's certainly worth a watch.

Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (1987) was the third film in the Freddy Krueger series. This time around a hospital ward full of disturbed teenagers are the latest target for Freddy Krueger. Thanks in large part because the kids can't stop dreaming about the world's most famous serial killer/ child molester turned supernatural monster. Everyone should know by now that he likes to feed off the fear of the wee ones. Now with more people to add to his collection, Freddy decides to play ten little indians with the lot of them. That is until his old nemesis Nancy comes back into town to help the kids fight him off and end the nightmare. Will Nancy and the kids be able to defeat Freddy for good? Find out because this one's too good to pass up. Not as complex as the last film but highly entertaining. This is the film that has Freddy morphing into his one-liner spewing act that has made him insanely popular. Fun stuff. Highly recommended.
