I like the part where John Saxon fights a claymation skeleton.
Will SloanApr 2, 201980 Psychokinetic warfare. Wonderful in that it combines terror and trauma within the dynamics of group therapy. You're in it with these kids for each moment. Every big name filmmaker is stealing from this now, but they don't have Russell's wit or audacity to merge…
SilentDawnJun 19, 2020Definitely heading into the realm of Freddy as broad trash-talking weirdo which does mute some of the scariness but the premise of preying on personal anxieties/histories/fears through dream imagery is still incredibly strong and this still manages to take Craven's surreal…

sarah squirmAug 23, 2025This was the Final Destination: Bloodlines of its day. A classic “Whoa! This is quite good!” horror sequel.

- Sabrina Bondi dislikedA Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
The originality and wit of the first two seem to have been skipped in favor of flashy effects and pseudo-religious false traits.
zoey angel likedA Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream WarriorsThis and the first are the best the second one sucks if you want to watch all of them that’s the one you skip
GENAI likedA Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream WarriorsI really liked this story. This was a TRIP and just as goofy as I thought it’d be lmao. Aside from the sparingly used stop motion that looked so lame, this movie had some awesome practical effects. Like the crashing house, the mirror room, and that puppet scene?? GNARLY.
- Joshua Breeding lovedA Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
7.8/10 Probably the best in the franchise. I was glad to see a character from a previous movie come back because the second movie had none. Also glad to see Freddy be goofy again.
Orlando Ramone likedA Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream WarriorsThe end of a perfect trilogy. I usually skip the rest of these movies. Although this is an excellent Freddy movie, this is the one where Freddy became silly.
Carson Willoughby likedA Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream WarriorsThis movie deserves the hype. I like how Freddy uses each specific fear that each character has. I did. It was really cool to see Nancy again I like her.

Metacritic
It's slick, it has impressive production values and the acting is appropriate to the material. So why did I find myself so indifferent to the movie? Maybe because it never generated any sympathy for its characters. This is filmmaking by the numbers, without soul.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Arguably the most imaginative of the horror franchise, with a fair number of truly resonant scenes.
