3 out of 5 stars psycho therapy   July 9, 2004

a burnt up freak is nasty to look at and child murder is disgusting in the very least.at least theyre teens so its not quite as bad.the teens are in a asylum in this one and freddy comes to thier dreams to hack them up again.they explore dream powers and use them to ward off his attacks.if you let your kids under 12 at minimum watch this,someone should lock you up.even at 12,this is an abselute minimum.16 is far better.wes craven dreamt this one up.his movies-with the freddy exceptions-all suck!#3 is the best of them all!scary?not really.intense?you bet!a nurse chick takes off her top just before trying to kill one of the patients.she was really freddy who used the dudes wet nurse dream to lure him into a deadly trap.as with all the freddy flicks,all the male stars are losers and the chicks arefly by night hussies.the special effects rock in this one.there are 8 parts to this series now,the last one where freddy and jason went at it.who knows whats next.i thought up freddy vs jason in the mid 80s.hollywood is just so slow.


3 out of 5 stars Three down... four to go   June 29, 2004

Sigh... it seems the further I delve into the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' movie series, the more underwhelmed by the 'scariness' of it all. Was this stuff really considered horrific when it first came out? Personally, I think it's more of an unintentional comedy, 'cuz I laugh most at the nightmare/death scenes, rather than get all shocked an grossed out by them.

On the upside, I found quite a few of the various deaths and gags shown here rather creative, if not particularly chilling. The blood-vessel-stringed marionette sleepwalk, the giant Freddy-worm tryin' to chow down on a potential victim, one little lady's "big break in TV", Freddy's syringe-finger attack, and the wheelchair-from-hell were some of the more entertaining pieces in this flick. I also kinda liked the return of a couple characters from the first 'Nightmare' to help out our little wacko-ward-imprisoned dream warriors. Might as well try to get the fans of the original flick to come on down to the 'Plex after the downright silliness of Part 2, heh. Speakin' of the dream warriors: another cool angle they threw in here was that of the heroine leading a group of teenagers against the main man to try & take him out once and for all-- which, judging from the subsequent sequels, was ultimately unsuccessful. Which reminds me of what that kid in 'Last Action Hero' said: "Ya can't die 'til the grosses go down!" And yes, I DO like 'Last Action Hero', thank you very much! And yes, I AM ashamed of this fact...

Also included-- with the help of a mysterious nun-- are a couple more revelations regarding the origin and back-story of everybody's fave undead Christmas-sweatered dreamland slasher, which judging from the films I've seen seems to be a standard gimmick they throw into each 'Nightmare' flick. Eh, I guess slow, incremental character development is better than no development at all, hmm? And I'm glad to see they improved Freddy's 'burn' makeup job, which looks a little bit better than the one in the first flick, and a LOT better than what I saw in part 2!

Following the closing credits featuring a little tune by 80s hair-metal group Dokken (remember that whole MTv "Rockin' with Dokken" dealy goin' on at the time this came out? No? Me neither), the VHS edition of this film includes a teaser trailer, and interview sessions with the various creative folks involved in the project. Ya know, the director, producer, writers, and such. I tried to watch this particular segment all the way through, but after five minutes of watching & listening to these guys prattling on about 'taking Freddy back to his roots' and other such pretentious pap, I rewound the tape and returned it immediately to the place I rented it from. Sheesh, and I thought those endless effects-laden 'traveling inside of V'Ger' scenes from 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' were tedious to sit through!

3 out of 5 stars Best out of them all..!! -A clever script..!! -By Wes..   June 15, 2004
Robert the Psychoman (Fontana California..)
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: -Dream Warrior's.. -1987.

ignore the zany Part 2. -Freddy's Revenge. -Executive
producer. -Wes Craven.. -No what he was going two do.. -Is two
deliver a power house bomb.. -So he did.. -With the

clever.. -Dream Warrior's. -I herd that Robert Englund
did a pitch.. -Which was; -"Welcome too Prime time..!
Bitch..!" -Great line.. -Mr. -Englund.. -I've also
enjoy the beginning sequence.. -Such as Kristen ho
gets two sleep.. -Wake's up in the yard of the old
Thompson House.. -Now decaying and Rotting.. -Kriten
here's scratching noise.. -Which is Freddy's own

Claw.. -Kristen walk's up two the house.. -What is
the best thing of this sequel.. -That we get the Elm
street children.. -Jump roping.. -Singing that 1, 2
Freddy's, -comming for you.."? -I loved that tone it
has.. -A lot better then what Jesse Walsh's
sister in her bedroom..!

I also love the scene where Kristen is running from

Freddy after a huge explosion in the furnace.. -As
we see the skulls of dead children.. -What a moment..!
that was.. -And, -finding the butchard children
hanging in his hellish room.. -Which has full of

Then Kristen wakes up a scream.. -Run's in the bathroom..?
she turns on the sink.. -As Freddy's arm pops up two

lot of memorable moment's in the Mental Hospital..?

Such as the girl getting her head suck in the T.V.
Set.. -By the powerless evil Freddy..? -I've also enjoy
where the kid walk's like a puppeter at the begining of
the hospital..! -And Freddy make's him fall's too
his timely death..

Freddy soon know's how the kid's work on their power..?
but the kid's won't know how too defeat him.. -One by
one they die off.. -The kid's are not that smart..!
but Kristen.. -Joey and Kincaid survive two.. -A
Nightmare on Elm Street -4: -The Dream Master..

Though.. -This is a great script..! -We've have the
nune ho talk's about Freddy being raised up by his

Freddy..

Director.. -Chuck Russell give's us a strong movie.

It just want's two entertain us with it's own imagination..

5 out of 5 stars My Personal favorite.   April 21, 2004
Goose (Az.)
This is my favorite Elm movie and possibly my favorite old school slasher flick. Having been tormented by Fredy, and being afraid to sleep, the children are placed in a mental insitution, but it's walls won't save them form the sinister Freddy. Being fedup with not sleeping and fear, the children team up to stop Freddy on his home court.Think of it like Goonies in hell. What makes this film great is the unique approach of having the once helpless victim attempt to turn the tide on the aggressor by beating him at his own game. You'll have to watch to see what happens but it's interesting to see the kids turn and fight instead of tucking thier tails between their legs and running. Of corse, who could blame them?
