A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors Reviews

Easily the best film in the series.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 20, 2024

Abysmal, and the only thing worth cheering is special effects work by Peter Chesney.

| Jul 27, 2023

The ingeniously, splendidly executed fantasy sequences are what make the movie so ultimately enjoyable.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 25, 2023

The special effects this time include some convincing animation and a couple of very grisly sequences.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2023

The originality and wit of the first two seem to have been skipped in favor of flashy effects and pseudo-religious false traits.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 25, 2023

The story is tighter, the special effects classier, and the humor [darker].

| Jul 25, 2023

The acting is so poor... the shock value of many scenes is lowered considerably.

| Jul 25, 2023

The acting is generally atrocious.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 25, 2023

... For a third go around, it's not bad.

| Jul 25, 2023

It's the dumbest installment in the series.

| Jul 25, 2023

It's a perverse tribute to the skills of actor Robert Englund that Freddy has become a cult hero, but with any luck we've seen the last of Freddy and his nightmare.

| Jul 25, 2023

Drive-In Academy Award nominations for... Robert Englund, as Freddy Krueger, the one and only, and Chuck Russel, the director, for doing a heck of a job.

| Jul 24, 2023

Freddie Fanciers may rest easy: Their hero, complete with burn scarred face, brown felt hat and stiletto fingers, is back in fine form.

| Jul 20, 2023

The special effects are first-rate... and the actors are agreeable.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 20, 2023

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 bogs down in terms of storyline clarity.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 18, 2023

Some have called it classic gothic horror. Others say it's merely grotesque. Go with the latter group.

| Jul 18, 2023

I came to this movie burned out on the whole genre, but I left not only satisfied, but actually happy that the Freddy cycle was continuing.

| Jul 18, 2023

The film is crudely effective, and several scenes are truly horrifying.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 18, 2023

What makes Dream Warriors really work is its throwaway humor, credited to Bruce Wagner, and Frank Derabont, as well as Chuck Russel and Wes Craven.

| Jul 18, 2023

Chuck Russel displays a command for both character development and suspenseful pacing.
