Reviews
Arguably the most imaginative of the horror franchise, with a fair number of truly resonant scenes.
First-time director Russell sustains the legend's success with the help of a workable plot and some first-rate special effects.
This third chapter of the phenomenally successful horror series marks the return of the original's director, Wes Craven.
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.
The Slasher genre took a different direction with this sarcastic killer who delights in torturing his victims, simulating the nightmares we all experience.
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.
The best 'Elm Street' film next to the 1984 original....Freddy's finest moment since his debut
The film's dream sequences are ingenious, and they feature some remarkable nightmare images and special effects.
