Summary: Wes Craven breathes life back into the series
Review: "A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" picks up 6 years after the original "Nightmare" ended, totally disregarding the storyline from Part 2. Heather Langenkamp returns as Nancy Thompson, Freddy's main opponent from the first film, as a Dream Specialist working with the remaining Elm Street Kids, who are now housed in a psychiatric hospital for sleep deprivation. After several murders at the hands of Krueger, Nancy takes the rest of the kids and helps them band together to form the "dream warriors", so they can put Freddy to rest once and for all. The acting is fantastic by all involved, especially for Heather Langenkamp, who seems to feel more comfortable in her role this time around (although she is given much less to do). This is my second favorite flick out of the series, it has suspense, horror and surprises throughout. Rent it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not to shabby
Review: this sequel is quite good; i was suprised. not as good as the first but the effects are cool. unfortunately, this is where freddy becomes funny, not terrifying. hes got a bad sense of humor and that hurts a few films. craven co-wrote this and that duznt hurt either.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MASTERPIECE!
Review: This has to be the best of all the sequels and it did very well at the box office (probably because Wes Craven had a lot to do with this one)Nancy returns again to to battle with the now infamous Freddy Krueger, only this time its at a clinic full of sleepless teens who are having nightmares of Freddy. Freddy begins to take out the teens one at a time making it look like suicide, so its up to nancy and the rest of the "Dream Warriors" to stop him from slaughtering anymore teens. This is where Freddy begins to develop as a comical character but is still able to somehow become even more dark and evil than before. A nice thick plot and as usual plenty of gore and cruel deaths makes this movie a true classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Freddy's back again!
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MASTERPIECE OF MODERN HORROR!
Review: This is one of the greatest horror films ever made. It has fright, gore, black humor, and a top notch story. The best death scenes are when the boy sleepwalks to the abandoned building, and when Nancy's dad is impaled on a car fin. This movie is so exciting and dazzling, the special effects are incredible, and so is the acting (Craig Wasson in particular). The only scene I thought was gratuitous was when the nurse took her clothes off. It didn't really fit with the rest. But basically, this film is a mind-blowing masterpiece, and if you miss it, you sure are missing something!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SHOCK, SHOCK....HORROR!
Review: Good movie. I would have to say that this was the second best nightmare out of the lot. Nothing could live up to the first one though. It delivers shocks. But is very like the other movies before it. But apart from that, I enjoyed it! Give it a go!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wes Craven Has done it again!
Review: After the the second nightmare Wes returns and does his best work yet. This movie has Nancy returning to battle Freddy once again only this time its at a clinic full of teens who are having trouble sleeping due to the nightmares of you know who. Freddy begins to murder the teens one by one making it look like suicide and its up to nancy and the docter to stop him from killing them all. This movie was the best of the nighmare series and was also darker and more gruesome than the than the first and second but had a weird way of making you laugh. Check it out I beg you. Rated R for graphic violence,language, and partial nudity

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good Friday night chiller.
Review: Blood and gore, especially large quantities, have never been my personal taste for a good movie, but I must admit that this film did have a lot of the factors that it takes to make a good horror picture. The unstoppable Freddie Krueger is again haunting the dreams of children, and the dreams begin to turn into reality for those plagued by them. One by one, they begin to fall victim to Freddie, until Nancy, the survivor of the first saga, begins to stop himfrom killing off the children. Not a bad movie in a long line of klunker films.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good comeback
Review: From the awful Freddy's Revenge it was essential that theseries was to be revived. Wes Craven comes back once again to livenit up. Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) comes back and this time she's a psychiatrist practicing in a mental instituation. When Freddy turns up and starts to enter the patients dreams to kill it is time for Tina to act fast. This time there will be no mercy. We also get a decent insight into Amanda Kreuger, Freddy's mother and this is what we needed. A very good plot which should have ended here but went on to create worse sequels.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE Nightmare on Elm Street sequel.
Review: The last teenagers of Elm Street, institutionalised as a result of recurring bad dreams, are helped by Nancy, now a professional psychic counsellor, to fight back against Freddy as he continues his reign of terror.

Forget Part 2. This is the deffinate Nightmare on Elm Street sequel. The characters are well-written and acted and the plot is filled with good ideas and interesting developments on the original film, not least the would-be victims learning to control their dreams. The special effects and sets are also first-rate, filled as they are with imaginative dream-like images. A must-see if you liked the first film.
