Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) by Charles E — 29 Sep 2009

When Freddy begins to prey on a group of troubled teens in a hospital, a foe from his past returns to help them fight.

After the mistakes of it's predecessor, the franchise comes back bigger, badder and better. Freddy returns to being what he is best at - a wise-cracking dream demon, and in fact the events of the second movie are never even mentioned. The story is (of course) formulaic, but that is not important, as the effects and set-pieces are all top-notch. The movie feels less horror and more fantasy, but don't let put you off, as it all works really well and does the series proud.
