My favorite out of the entire series. Nothing like going after a bunch of teens who are locked up in a psychiatric hospital for bad nightmares. Freddy has a field day with this one. Welcome to prime time bitch!
"A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" is an extremely engaging film despite the fact that it is in the very nature of sequels that each new entry in any franchise won't match the rapidly declining standard set by the previous film and none of them will ever be as good as the original anyway because the format is bound to be played out and looking desperately tired by now. However, it is very refreshing to find out this current entry in the increasingly lucrative series is inexhaustibly imaginative and visually creative when it could have been nothing more than a disappointing exercise in trotting out all the usual standbys used in the preceding two films.
