Reviews for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors
Arguably the most imaginative of the horror franchise, with a fair number of truly resonant scenes.
04/28/08
First-time director Russell sustains the legend's success with the help of a workable plot and some first-rate special effects.
04/28/08
This third chapter of the phenomenally successful horror series marks the return of the original's director, Wes Craven.
04/28/08
Debuting director Chuck Russell elicits poor performances from most of his thesps, making it difficult to differentiate between pic's comic relief and unintended howlers.

Top CriticA great sequel
02/03/08
The Slasher genre took a different direction with this sarcastic killer who delights in torturing his victims, simulating the nightmares we all experience.
11/03/07
Parts of it work extraordinarily well for a horror film of this vintage. And parts of it don't particularly work at all.

A creepy score and Russell's sure grasp of the skewed logic of nightmares helps to sustain the ambiguity between the 'real' and 'dream' worlds, while Englund's Freddie now fits like a glove.
