After the slight misstep of the second installment, it would be easy to dismiss the remaining films in the series as horror movie chaff reserved only for gluttons and die hards, but "Dream Warriors" is not only a solid horror movie, but even if it's not as good as the first, it's still one of the best horror movies of the decade.

Shoves part 2 back into the closet. Let us all breathe a sigh of relief no one is being sucked into one of Jesse’s dreams. John Saxon isn’t even playing a character. We went from Freddy chasing you with his glove and sometimes he makes his arms longer to full on nonsense theatrics.

This is the best non-Craven directed entry in the series. Everything goes down smoother with John Saxon anyways. I'd give anything to be a "dream warrior." It reminds me of a dream I had where I could turn anything I touched into stone but then my nephew had lost his cat and we had to find it. We could hear it but it was always out of reach. You know what? I hate my dreams.

Although Langenkamp's acting is spotty & the lispy actor playing Kincaid is distracting, this may be the best slasher film ever made. In fact, the characterization and more conventional 3-act dramatic structure is so unusual for the sub-genre I'm not sure this even qualifies as a slasher film. Instead of the interchangeable victims which seem to be a slasher standard, the characters here are all clearly distinguishable from one another & so proactive that most of them are actual protagonists.

The third entry in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series is a fan-favorite sequel, and maybe even one that, at times rivals the original in some ways. Following-up on the first, Heather Langenkamp returns and quickly finds herself forced to team-up with the last of the Elm Street kids to wage dream warfare against Freddy. Maybe it's the creative kills and fun one-liners, or possibly the "BK kids club" and their silly dream powers, but whatever it is I love this 80's horror cheese.

Liked this back in the day, and wasn't disappointed on this rewatch. It isn't perfect, but there is plenty here to like. The setting and characters work well, it has a good sense of imagination, and there are some fine bouts of violence and general unpleasantness. John Saxon appears just in time to steady the ship towards the end; always a class act. The Harryhausen skeleton tribute was a bit jarring, though. Feels like a "proper" sequel...I'll need to check out that mad part 2 again sometime...

I’m sure some people may disagree with me but Dream Warriors Is the best movie in the series (In my opinion) They bought back original characters solid story and we got to know more about Freddy’s backstory All the movies have great special effects (except for the remake) This movie has the best special effects of all of them I only wish they hadn’t killed Nancy it just felt wrong My guess she didn’t want to do anymore movies But I wish they would have wrote her out differently

A lot of creativity and some fun set pieces, even expanding Freddy's backstory works, but the actual "dream powers" angle just doesn't work for me as anything other uber-cheesy eye-roll fuel. Sets in motion all of the major issues I have with the ensuing sequels, even if they admittedly aren't that bad yet this time around.

As Nancy returns to help a doctor a group of suicidal teens paying for their father's sin - of burning Krueger to death - we know a bit more about the villain's origins - "the bastard son of a hundred maniacs" - and face some amazing special effects - TV murder is awesome ("welcome to primetime!"), junkyard scene - while these kids use dream abilities - Arquette basically becomes a super-athlete - to confront the stalker. Climax is a bit annoying - why that skeleton attack?. More fun than scary.

(2016 Freddython #3:) Of all the horror sequels I've seen, this is one of the only ones that actually does a genuinely creative and intelligent job expending on the mythology and "rules" of the original film. I mean, it's still ultimately a dumb slasher flick about Freddy picking off kids, but there's many clever ideas amidst the dumbness. (In a way the film is almost a proto-Matrix.) You could actually just watch the original and this one and treat Elm Street as a complete two-film story.

A personal favorite of mine, this movie is everything I like about 80s horror. The characters are a step above what you'd expect in a movie like this, Freddy is legit scary, and the movie has a lot of interesting ideas. It gets bogged down in that whole silly "power of dreams" things, but I've got some heavy nostalgia for this movie.

Few of the nondream sequences possess much in the way of logic, serving simply as convenient frames for the flick's real raison d'etre; happily, the numerous nightmare set pieces save the day, as F.K. adopts such unlikely guises as a sexy blond nurse, a TV set, and Dick Cavett(!). This remains the sickest, funniest, and most outlandishly surreal of the series.

Not only is this the best "Elm Street", but it's probably the best of the classic Holy Slasher Trilogy (F13, Elm St., Halloween) save for the original "Halloween". Not surprising that Craven came back to write this one. Of course, this did start Freddy's full-on metamorphosis from shadowy, dream-stalking bogeyman to melted-face court jester, but considering that they really should have just stopped with this one, I can't hold the sins of the subsequent films against it. "I am the Wizard Master!"

This was pretty good. The fact that it has an ensemble cast really helps, as does the setting which adds its own extra layer of horror. Freddy feels really menacing here and the mix of dreams and reality finds a good balance. It's still a bit incoherent at times, and a bit too graphic for my tastes, but I mostly liked it.

The first Nightmare story with an actually coherent story structure, but at the behest of a severely neutered Freddy. The car graveyard scene almost ruins the whole movie, but then is magically saved by the dopest 80s effects I've seen outside of The Thing. Larry Fishburne is the man.

Probably about as good as a cheesy 80s slasher can get, surprising for the third in a long line of sequels. While the characters are sparse and the ending underwhelms, the kids are given something to do and there's an enjoyable campy vibe throughout, especially with how creative the dreams and deaths get. Boy, Freddy sure does say 'bitch' a lot!

What feels like the proper sequel to the original, Dream Warriors brought back the reins to Craven, with some help from Darabont and Russell. The balance of comedic relief and genuine horror is probably at its best. The story takes a nice few twists and reveals that are pretty dark, as well as does a good job of making the kids likable. Best of all, this has some of the best kills and special affects in horror for it’s time. One of the better horror sequels we’ve ever seen.

We all know the idea of someone going into your dreams to kill you is silly, right? I love the first movie, but even I'll admit that. This wasn't nearly as good in my opinion, but it's still a lot of fun. I expected a little more from the fighting back aspect, but what's there is cool and the kills are either delightfully cheesy or really clever. Most of the acting is decent too, particularly Arquette. Great production design and lore help put a bit. It's cheesy fun and that's okay.

I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. It was a creative idea for the franchise. Why not give the dreamers tools to fight back against Freddy? They even do a decent job of making us care what happens to these characters - plus some of those dream sequences with Freddy were bananas.

This sequel put the franchise back on track by once again emphasizing the dream world and bringing back Langenkamp and Saxon from the 1st film. It contains early roles from Patricia Arquette and Laurence Fishburne; behind the scenes it has a score by Angelo Badalamenti and a script by e.g. Craven and Frank Darabont. The effects look a bit outdated these days, but they also have a nice organic look to them instead of current CGI ones. In short: a solid horror sequel.

Not a great movie, but it does provide a proper sequel to the original. It expands on the mythos of the first, and makes a decent attempt to carry on the story. Unlike many 80s slasher sequels, it tries (and mostly succeeds) to expand on the ideas of the original. But the scares are mostly replaced by SFX showcases. It does a lot of things right, but it never quite catches the thrills of the original.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors takes the spirit of the second film and ignores it completely in favor of the roots established by the original film. It has many moments of creativity, some innovative and very impressive special effects, a slightly different take on Freddy Krueger, and far too many indistinguishable characters for any of them to matter. It's also not at all scary, and it really could have used a central character to latch onto.

A lot more enjoyable than the second movie, for gimmicky factors if nothing else. Freddy's finally turning into the ham everyone knows and loves here, delivering one-liners before killing people, and making the deaths more spectacular. Anything really negative I have to say would probably just be that it doesn't quite live up to the title. I expected people taking the war to Freddy, but only about three of them even tried to fight him, and those confrontations all ended pretty quickly.

There are moments that really work - mostly related to effects, which are monumental - and others that feel hackneyed and, well, juvenile. The film has way too many loose ends and logical fallacies for me to call it a true classic, which is really too bad. A flawed classic: yes.

it actually makes a decent stab at emulating the atmosphere of the original, though occasionally ruining it with stupid over-the-top effects sequences. the main problem is the screenplay, which is absolutely silly and reads more like a captain planet episode than a horror movie. "you've found your dream power!" is terrible in comparison with nancy's intelligent improvisation in the first, and for as elaborate as the setpieces are, there really are no disturbing deaths.

The effects are absolutely terrific both in conception and execution and the movie surely wouldn't be the same without those sequences. The new teen characters generate sympathy but are far from meticulously crafted and probably that's why the perceived underlying criticism of the ostracism of mental health patients doesn't pack as much punch as it should. Also, Langenkamp's acting is fairly bad and the script gives in to cliches and contrivances quite a bit. Dokken's theme song is gold though.

Viewed October 25, 2021. Director Chuck Russell can't exactly match Wes Craven's morbid imagery, but he does wring a lot of tension out of this premise and out of his protagonists' fear that they're doomed for life. Moreover, you get by far the series' best Freddy one-liner up to this point when he smashes a girl's head in a TV and says, "Welcome to primetime, bitch."

A sizeable step up from Freddy's Revenge, it unfortunately marks the beginning of the end for the franchise, which sort of fell apart afterwards. Heather Langenkamp's return is the best thing about it, but there are memorable scenes aplenty & decent performances all on top of very solid effects work. The story is a bit muddled, but it's probably the best of the series overall, with likeable characters & a fun (if corny) premise. The finale rings more hollow than it should. Still, worth a watch.

Dream Warriors might be the best of the Freddy movies in my opinion. It has an interesting story. The return of Heather Langenkamp gives it some legitimacy, especially since Wes Craven didn't want anything to do with the second movie. Frank Darabont also has a writing credit on this movie! The acting is good and it has that 80's group of disparate kids that hate each other at first but work together to accomplish a goal thing going for it. Dream Warriors is the most rewatchable of the series.

This was an enjoyable film -- which, I guess, surprised me after 2. It actually looks like there was care put into it. There's a fun cast of characters, some neat kills, and Freddy has a personality. The movie also takes advantage of the concept of what one is able to do within their dreams, though not as much as it could. Nevertheless, this is more enjoyable and inventive than the usual slasher flick.

"Dream Warriors" mixes scares and laughs very well. Freddy is still a frightening figure, but pulls of more of the one-liners he is famous for in this movie than the earlier entries. The characters are interesting and it's great to see Heather Langenkamp back. The story is unique and while I did enjoy Nightmare Part 2 it's good to see that the dream world is back in the 3rd entry.

Part 3: Dream Warriors brightens up the franchise in an interesting way. It's very imaginative, like how the first movie was, but in its own way, not as scary but more colorful and with some great special effects. It introduced a few more comedic elements and balanced them rather well. Perhaps best of all, it brought back Heather Langenkamp, returning in the role of Nancy, and Wes Craven, director of the first movie, as a co-writer.

Some brilliant set pieces and Freddy moments alongside characterised deaths, as we bordered the line between his chilling nature and shivering black humour. Characters are not immediately picked off and we have underlying back stories that play well with the narrative. It took a lot to convince me that the psychiatric institution was given a flawed reputation for that to happen, but it provided a great way out for the screenwriters with Freddy choosing a different direction in torturing them.

Fun sequel, I enjoyed the fantasy element and it's a much better follow-up than Part 2 (despite the amusing gay subtext in that one). Much of its strengths come from having people who worked on the original, and people with actual talent (like Frank Darabont) involved at the creative stage.

Not as much "there" as Nightmare 2. I never thought I'd type a sentence like that, but yes, this garbage is crafted as perfectly as it should be.

A punk-rock horror film and the point where Freddy started becoming more of a stand up comic than a murderous psychopath. Inventive death scenes and fun characters keep this one interesting. "Let's get high."

ALMOST as good as the first, just losing some points for not quite having the shock factor the first did. Original deaths and Freddy was back in the dreams; where he belongs.

Pretty awesome for an old Krueger movie..! The kids also really try to stick together (where normally they would say "let's all split up"), which was a positive aspect for me in the movie. I liked the wizard boy :D

A healthy rebound from the near disaster of Freddy's Revenge, and the textbook for pretty much everything that is right about the later installments of the NOES series.

The strongest and most satisfying Elm Street film, its premise pushed much further than the others with a dreamier, funnier and more bizarre intensity, the scene with Freddy taunting and then killing the punk junkie girl with hands full of needles is the highlight of the franchise.

Noted for the special effects wizardry but little else, Part Three was produced on a $4.5 million shoe string and took in more than $40 million, making it one of the most successful independently produced films in Hollywood.

Better then most of the sequals, Freddy still has his wisecracks, but they were funny and haunting at times at least, plus it has a great soundtrack.

The best of the Nightmare sequels. Great special effects and nice humorous touches help overcome a somewhat uneven screenplay and flaccid, disappointing ending. The TV scene (with cameos by Dick Cavett and Zsa Zsa Gabor) is a special hoot.
