Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
JP_Shay As a horror fanatic and huge fan of the "Elm Street" franchise, I honestly think Dream Warriors is one of the greatest sequels of all- time. It has everything - great atmosphere, fun characters and Freddy Krueger at his absolute best!!! The story takes place in a mental institution and the patients' dreams while the line between reality and dreamland is blurred and we are not always sure which one we are in. Freddy himself is used sparingly, which I believe was a good idea since he is so effective when he does appear. The cinematography is brilliant and along with the haunting score creates such a nightmarish atmosphere that feels genuinely scary. I was always impressed with how dreamlike the film can be at times. The special effects were done especially well when it came to the gore and dream sequences. The part where Freddy comes out of the ground as a giant snake-like creature and starts swallowing the girl whole looked freaky as hell! But one of the most memorable scenes has to be where the guy is used as a puppet and sleepwalks to his death. All of the sets looked great and helped create much of the film's haunting feel. The cast did very well also, especially Patricia Arquette in the lead role. Heather Langenkamp returns as Nancy from the first film and even if her acting is sub-par, her presence helps bridge a connection to the original Nightmare On Elm Street film. Of course, the true star has to be Robert Englund, who is really the only man who should ever play Freddy Krueger. He brings a wicked sense of humor to the role and provides much of the films comic relief without losing the scary. This is an accomplishment in itself since most horror- comedies tend to lean more towards the comedy side no matter how hard they try. What makes "Dream Warriors" great is that it doesn't have to try. It knows what it is and has all the necessary ingredients to succeed. This is a great standalone horror movie and should not go overlooked by fans of the original Elm Street film.
jordansepticeye This movie is awesome,I honestly didn't see any flaws with it,but Heather Langenkamp did seem a bit monotone.So,I'll talk about the good,the tone,it keeps the seriousness from the original and actually deals with real issues,like drug addiction.The characters,they feel realistic and are well acted.The film is very creative,the dream sequences are fantastic.I love the kills,and the effects are great.Bringing Nancy back was awesome.Freddy was great,even though this is the beginning of the jokey version of him,and i like how we get to know a bit of his backstory involving his mother.Dream Warriors is great and the perfect sequel
Rainey Dawn Part 2 sorta strayed away from the original story to a degree and this 3rd film seems to put the story back to the original concept of the 1st film... That Freddy's a literal nightmare in your dreams!! A nightmare that can literally kill you in your sleep.Nancy's back in this film, she was the sole surviving teen in the 1st film, she's back now as dream therapist and is trying to help the kids through the horror of Freddy Krueger! Somehow these kids are special, they tend to all have special abilities in their dreams which will help somewhat against Krueger but not completely - it will take Nancy's father to revel were the bones of Krueger are in order to bury them in hallowed ground. There is also a mysterious nun who knows all to much about Krueger and his mother's past.Fun film! Recommended to fans of the 1980s horror! 8.5/10
Wrontler First of all Heather Langenkamp (Nancy in the first one) is back!As well as John Saxon (Nancy's father). And it's directed by Wes Craven (director of the 1st movie)Freddy's back! I liked this one a lot because the story is different but it still follows the original idea. You get to know a bit more about Freddy and what happened to him.This movie has horror, comedy and much more which is nice to get a bigger audience, and of course it does. As this franchise grows it kinda goes out of hand sometimes, but that's what makes it special.Overall this movie was fun to watch. A bit weirder then the others (but you'll get used of this at the end of the franchise).
