9/10
The best "Nightmare on Elm Street" sequel
2 January 2006
"A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" is the best "Nightmare" sequel of all of the rest. It really explains nearly everything about Freddy, including bits of his background information.

The special effects were pretty good for its time, and also alittle freaky. Freddy's makeup was almost as good as in the first film, and there is a great look at Freddy's hellish dream world.

The actors & actresses were good, too. I particularly liked Patricia Arquette's performance as the troubled teenage patient at the mental ward. Fans of the first "Nightmare" film will love to see Heather Langencamp's return to this movie. John Saxon also returns, but has a smaller role than from the first movie.

Best of all, there is no mention about the awful second "Nightmare" movie. I am very glad that the filmmakers of this movie didn't put in any reference to the 2nd movie (other than Freddy himself). That means this movie truly sticks to the first film's rules and ideology, and remained true to the first movie.

That being said, this is the best "Nightmare on Elm Street" sequel. Although not as good as the original, this sequel makes use of referring to the first movie and not the messed-up second movie.

I give this movie an 9/10.

P.S: Look out for the sexy Stacy Alden in this movie!
