Stop Here
This is the last Elm St. movie worth watching. It's a bridge between the first two more serious horror films, and the self parodies which came after. This one has it's share of silliness that would be amplified in later movies, but it's actually very good. More elaborate FX were starting to get used at this point, such as Freddy as a marionette, and as a giant worm. Quick plot synopsis for those unfamiliar: The remaining Elm St. kids are all locked away in a psych ward, tormented by Freddy dreams. Naturally the doctors don't buy into this Freddy thing all until Nancy Thompson from the original film shows up. She's now a doctor herself, and manages to convince a fellow psychiatrist(Craig Wasson, a horribly underused actor) of what's going on. The kids get in touch with their dream powers(thus the title Dream Warriors) and go off to do battle with Freddy. The Dream Warriors concept is kinda corny(the whole "I am the wizard master" thing will make you cringe), but it's all in good fun. Nancy's father(the underrated John Saxon) also makes a cool appearance. Honestly, this series should have ended here. Freddy's demise here is actually pretty final and more films weren't needed-it could have ended here. Unfortunately, Hollywood milked this cash cow for all it was worth and came back with more Freddy comedies.

Freddy's back again!
If you think for a moment, the possibility of falling asleep...discovering a monsterous killer, that will never ever leave you alone until you are destroyed. Every time you're awake, you're fear never let's up. He'll eventually get you, because, unlike Friday the 13th, Halloween, Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer...you can't escape the killer by hiding or running. We all eventually have to go to sleep. That's the way it is. Unlike all the other slashers, Freddy has an advantage on the controls of you're body. This is not to say anything negative about other horror villains. I'm simply saying, Freddy's the most clever of all the screen's horror movie stars.

In his thrid screen adventure, Freddy haunts a mental hospital where he continues to disturb the last of the Elm Street kids. Nancy Thompson, from Nightmare 1, comes into focus with Craig Wasson's character, to help these kids with their horrifying nightmares of one red and green sweatered, blade-gloved boogeyman. I wonder who that could be??? Well, Freddy starts to kill teens, one-by-one in standard modern-day horror style. And we notice he's more in the lighting of this film than in previous installments. I don't think that's a bad thing. I find his features should be revealed. His features are amazing. The make-up artists who work on the films, David Miller and Kevin Yagher, have always done a superb job doing Freddy's make-up. As for the story of the film...it was eventuall do to the fact Freddy haunts several teen-nightmares. Some say these films mainly offer great effects. But, I think in saying that, they over-look how great these effects are. And anyway, there's much more to these films than just special effects.

psycho therapy
a burnt up freak is nasty to look at and child murder is disgusting in the very least.at least theyre teens so its not quite as bad.the teens are in a asylum in this one and freddy comes to thier dreams to hack them up again.they explore dream powers and use them to ward off his attacks.if you let your kids under 12 at minimum watch this,someone should lock you up.even at 12,this is an abselute minimum.16 is far better.wes craven dreamt this one up.his movies-with the freddy exceptions-all suck!#3 is the best of them all!scary?not really.intense?you bet!a nurse chick takes off her top just before trying to kill one of the patients.she was really freddy who used the dudes wet nurse dream to lure him into a deadly trap.as with all the freddy flicks,all the male stars are losers and the chicks arefly by night hussies.the special effects rock in this one.there are 8 parts to this series now,the last one where freddy and jason went at it.who knows whats next.i thought up freddy vs jason in the mid 80s.hollywood is just so slow.
