I was glad to see that Wes Craven returned to be part of the screenplay and story, and with the addition of Frank Darabont, who later made some of the best Stephen King film adaptions like The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and The Mist, made the film even more loveable. Instead, we actually get something terrifying and in most ways, nightmare-fuelled. Unlike the second installment, Dream Warriors chooses to focus solely on the horror aspects instead of nonsensical, dumb humor, which was one of the biggest issues with the former. If any of that sounds cheesy, it is, but ignoring all of that, the rest of the film is much better. Quickly they realize that they’ll have to team up to be part of the “dream warriors”: an Avengers-esque horror fighting team with everyone having a certain “dream power”.
Far from the horror masterpiece but hey, it’s a great improvement from the second.Īs hinted in the title, we’re introduced to the last kids left from the Elm Street parents, all who are suffering dream-like hallucinations of Freddy’s terror. Not only is it a worthy sequel to the original in terms of the scare factor but it also expands on the mythology in a nice way. If you missed my review for the second chapter of the A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise, I mentioned how you should skip that one and head straight to the third installment titled A Nightmare On Elm Street: Dream Warriors.
