Movie Reviews of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors
Movie Review: The Best Nightmare Sequel
Summary: 5 Stars
This sequel is the best in so many ways, great special effects, very good, creative storyline, and interesting characters. The film is much better than the disappointing first sequel, Freddy's Revenge. Although the dark, terrifying Freddy from the first two gone, he makes up for it with very creative deaths, and one-liners before every kill. Also this film is quite fast paced and has stop motion photography; Freddy does not stop all is this one. This film has many cool, yet horrific scenes in it, including the claymation Freddy scene. The deaths in this film are so cool, and very creative. The scene where this girl is watching television, and gets her head eventually smashed into to the tv by Freddy, is an very terrifying, and well as creative death scene in the movie. Also the scene where Phillips is turn into a puppet using strings made out of his blood and arteries, was the best death scene in the movie.
Picking up where the original Nightmare left off, Nancy has grown up and become a psychiatrist specializing in dream therapy. She meets a group of children at a local hospital facing Freddy Krueger, the same demon she once encountered in her sleep. One of them is Kristen, who has the power to draw other people into her dreams. Working with a male doctor assigned to the case, Nancy helps the kids realize their special abilities within the nightmare world. When Freddy captures one of her charges, she leads a rescue attempt into Krueger's domain, in hopes of putting his spirit to rest once and for all.
This film is different from the first two Elm Street in the fact, that it is not a personal story, but rather about several different teens, with different personalites and characteristics, who are all being tormented in their dream by the infamous Freddy Kreuger, all of the teens are helpless against the demonic dream stalker, until the heroine and main character of the first NOES film Nancy Thompson comes by to visit. Nancy Thompson is now a dream researcher, and has come to help the struggling teens, who are threatened by Mr. Kreuger in their dreams. She tells the teens to be Dream Warriors, and fight back against Krueger or ingage in dream combat. Although the teens do fight back, they don't work as team, and are slaughtered one by one by Freddy Krueger, in very evil and imaginative ways. The teens learn they all have different powers in the dream world, and they use it to fight Krueger. Although the film does have incredible special effects, and awesome death sequences, the film was made with still quite a small budget ,only an estimated 4 million dollars. Even Nancy Thompson herself is killed in this film, by Freddy pretending to be her father.
This film is an 80's classic, and definitely the best sequel of the nightmare films, it has most of the darkness and eerieness of the first film, and comical elements that made the sequels after it after it great, including the one-liners, and the imaginative dream death sequences. This film racked almost or nearly close to 50 million dollars, and is the most successful elm street sequel. Freddy gained permanent cinema icon status after this film, and gained millions of new fans around the world. Buy this film on DVD or VHS if you like, it's definitely the best elm street film, and it has quite a bit more special features than other two Elm Street films. The picture of this film was excellent, and actually really that grainy, and you have a choice between Dolby 3.1 or Surround Sound, and one thing makes this film so much more excellent, is that finally get to learn a lot more about Freddy's origins, like the fact he was the Bastard son of hundred maniacs, and that his mother got accidently raped in an asylum and so much more. Dream Warriors revived the Nightmare after the somewhat pathetic Freddy's Revenge. This film is spectacular on DVD, and is definitely must a see, go buy or rent this film now, or DVD or VHS, it's an 80's classic, and the best Freddy film ever, you will enjoy it.
