Movie Reviews of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors
Movie Review: Don't watch the second one
Summary: 3 Stars
For me, the second one was absolutely diabolical, and seeing as I'd just bought the seven disc set, I was angry, and reluctant to watch the rest. I was persuaded, and found myself actually enjoying Dream Warriors. It continues on a few years after the first one, and it's like the second one never happened, as there's no apparent reference to it.
Dream Warriors is made all the better for a higher budget and bringing back Heather Langenkamp. She's definitely an asset to the movies and although she doesn't appear again until the seventh movie (as herself, strangely enough), hopefully the movies will continue the same as this.
A very, very young Patricia Arquette appears in this, her first film, and thankfully she has managed to hone her acting over the years. She's laughable in this. Also look out for "Larry" Fishburne!!! Larry, good grief.
The story is basically simple: a young girl (Arquette) is put into a psychiatric ward, with others, who discover they're all dreaming about the same man. They find an understanding adult in the form of Heather, who was of course in the original. She's older, wiser, and specialising in this kinda thing. She tries to help him, but when she finds out Arquette's character can bring others into her dream, they agree to go in and tackle Freddy.
What makes this film better than the second one, is the deaths are becoming bigger and better. One girl dies being put through a TV during Critters - she dreamt of being an actress. Then there's the whole back story to Freddy. We find out his mother was raped repeatedly, and actually appears in the film - a little twist in the plot. He was also never properly buried, and needs to be buried in holy ground, and that will finally get rid of him. Obviously not enough to spawn another 4 sequels.
My suggestion is that you skip the second one, and move straight from part one to part three. Honestly, you will never know the difference. Definitely the best of the series so far. Look out for a severely phallic Freddy snake, and a very cool stop motion puppet.

Ohhhhhhhhhh my my my, what can I say about this one? By the time it entered home video on vhs in late 1987, I was not familiar with Freddy at all except for the fact that I knew the premise....he can kill in your dreams and goes after kids and teens. The fact that I was at that time only goin on age 15 did not help. I was terrified of anything related to horror. In my mind Freddy was the worst. As a scared 15 year old kid, Freddy was the last thing I wanted to view. I was watching films like, Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Empire Strikes Back. Those I could handle. However, in late summer of 1987, a friend of mine rang me up and told me to come over because he had a new movie he had rented that he wanted me to watch. I asked him what it was and he wouldnt tell me. All he said was that id be surprised and that id really like it. So, I went over and he wouldnt let me see the title on the box. He just slid it into the slot of the VCR. Folks, I saw the New Line Cinema Logo and then this graphic, "Sleep, those little slices of death. How I loathe them....Edgar Allan Poe" My mind started to reel but I had not yet realized what this film was; and then I saw the title, "A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS." Now mind you the closest I ever came to seeing this film was the wonderfully cool Dokken Video on MTV called, Dream Warriors. I even had a hard time viewing the visage of Freddy in that MTV video. Hilarious huh?? Anyway, when I saw the title come up, I grabbed my coat and I was getting the hell out of there and quickly. However, my buddy begged me to give it a chance, he said its not as bad as I was thinkin and that id actually find certain parts of it actually funny. Now I thought he was pullin my leg with that statement. Even his mother told me id like it. She had already seen it in the theatres and so had my buddy. So, once I heard her reassure me as well, I decided to give it a chance. As the opening of the film carried on I viewed the front cover on the box. A vicious looking cover with Freddy's face leering over several teens facing him, appearing to stand on his out-stretched knives with a tagline that I find today to be one of the most creative taglines ever!!! "If you think you'll get out alive, you must be dreaming." Anyhow, suffice it to say, after experiencing dream warriors, I was instantly relieved and I was also an instant fan!! I couldnt believe it actually because id sworn this character off. I was terrified of him. I suppose id have to thank my buddy Mike C. for that. Thank you Mike for opening the door to this series for me. Ive loved it ever since. Ive seen all of them. Many argue and argue over which film is the best, but Dream Warriors will always hold a special place in my heart because it was my first Nightmare and the first time I had to get ready for Freddy!! :) Hope you enjoyed my review. By the way, I did laugh during my first viewing, and I also feel that poster art was the best of all of them!Movie Review: "The Bastard Son of a Hundred Fathers"
Summary: 4 Stars
Once again, Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) is back to terrorize a group of unsuspecting teenagers in this third installment of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series, but this time its no ordinary group; these are the last of the Elm Street children.
Kristen Parker (Patricia Arquette) has been having terrible dreams about Freddy Krueger. Kristen's mother was one of the people who was charged with burning Freddy alive. Kristen's dreams continue until one night, she ends up slitting her own wrists while in her dream-like state. She is soon confined to Springwood Hospital.
At the hospital, Dr. Neil Gordon (Craig Wasson) is invloved with a group of teenagers. These are the last children of Elm Street whose parents were involved in Freddy's murder. These include Will (Ira Heiden), Jennifer (Penelope Sudrow), Taryn (Jennifer Rubin), Phillip (Bradley Gregg), Roland (Ken Sagoes) and Joey (Rodney Eastman).
Dr. Elizabeth Simms (Priscilla Pointer) is the leader of this group of children. She, along with Dr. Gordon has hired a new staff member who has experience in the field of dream interpretation. This person is Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp). Meanwhile, Kristen has been slipping deeper into her dreams. Dr. Simms and Dr. Gordon try to help her out, but they fail. Only Nancy, who heard Kristen singing Freddy's rhyme, knows what is really going on. Later that night, Kristen has another nightmare. During her dream, she calls out Nancy's name. Nancy hears Kristen's voice and ends up in her nightmare, where she saves Kristen. She also realizes that Freddy is back.
Unfortunately, the other members of the group are having their own nightmares. Phillip has a dream that Freddy turns him into a marionette, and he falls from the hospital's bell tower. The staff members seem to think it was a suicide, but Nancy thinks otherwise. She persuades Neil to prescribe Hypnocil, a dream suppressant, to the others. Nancy tells the others about Freddy, and also about Kristen's ability to pull others into her dreams. Nancy persuades Kristen to try out her abilities on the others and soon, everyone is showing off their "dream talents". However, Freddy has also been awakened as well.
However, Dr. Simms is unconvinced of Neil and Nancy's techniques. She relieves both of them from their positions and are asked to leave. While Neil is loading his car, he notices a person in the bell tower. It turns out to be sister Mary Helena (Nan Martin). She tells him a story of a young woman, Amanda Krueger, who was locked in the tower and raped by over 100 men. Freddy was the bastard child of these men. She goes on to say that the only way to stop Freddy is to find his remains and give him a proper burial.
Will Neil find the remains before Freddy kills the rest of the children?
I thought this movie was very good. Freddy is back and better than ever, and his one-liners are pretty funny. The story continues to be good, and Robert Englund continues to be teriffic as Freddy. Watch part III and see the dreammaster dispose of the rest of the Elm Street children.
Movie Review: kiling people is freddys sport
