A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors (DVD, 2000)

This movie much like every classic film from Star Wars to Friday the 13th, falls into the category of a cult hit. "Cult Hits" were created in the 1960's in direct opposition to the corrupt Academy Awards system that rarley gives great films the credit they deserve. Instead the "Academy" chooses to grant only poorly made "artsy" films the right to have an oscar, i.e. Brokeback & the English Patient, both god awfull films that some how were allowed to run for an oscar, meanwhile films like Harry Potter, Star Wars, the Matrix, and anything related to the horror genre got the shaft.

Nightmare on Elm Street (Part 3) "The Dream Warriors", is in my opinon the best film in the series of Nightmare films, however from a horror movie junkie stand point the 2003 "Freddy vs. Jason" flick is far better.

This film takes place in a half way house for disturbed children, which as you can guess is chock full of sleep deprived children thanks to Freddy Krueger. Through out the film the doctors and nurses fight to understand why the kids are scared of sleep and why the keep killing themselves. This occurs until Nancy from Nightmare on Elm Street - Part 1 shows up.
Apparently she survived Freddy's wraith and also got a degree in mental illnesses, and had the AMA whip up a little drug to keep Freddy out of her head, this drg is called hypnocil. The purpose of this drug is to prevent the taker from having any dreams at all. Naturally the doctors oppose this until the head doc desides to try out a sleep session and comes face to face with Freddy himself. I could go on but don't want to give you the whole story in my review.

I suggest watching this picture, this is a great cult horror movie from the everlasting 1980's.

The movie critics, hated this one! Most of them rated it a bomb.
I'm still trying to figure out why. I thought it was the best in the
Nightmare series. A Little humor, great effects and of course, Freddy and a
new group of Elm Street Teens - This time the teenagers imagine they have powers when they go to sleep - One is a magician, one is a vixen..etc...
pretty cool. worth a look!

I appreciated the speedy shipping and condition of this movie. It is my favorite of all the Elm Street murder flicks and I'm happy to have found it reasonably priced.

Definitely the BEST of the series! If just for 1 installment - Freddy Krueger can claim to be the King of the horror genre. A brilliance of sarcastic antagonism, sadism & cynical intrigue woven together.

Hands down, this is the most imaginative of the thrilling franchise. The year is 1987 & yet it's like seeing a modern day galore of special effects!

5 out of 5 stars! Highly Recommended, after you've enjoyed part 1, & stayed awake through part 2.

i love this movie it is my favorite of the elm street series and freddy kruger is the ultimate bad guy and he is awesome in this

MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR THIS MOVIE. I'M GLAD I FOUND IT FOR HIM,IT IS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY NEXT MONTH. I HEAR IT IS A VERY GOOD FLICK.I RATE THIS MOVIE AS OUTSANDING.

This is the third installment and the first elm movie to show freddy using creepy creative ways to murder people in the dreams where in one he just killed them and 2 there were really no dreams just possesion this is the only movie besides a new nightmare to feature Nancy Cahlahan in her orignal role

This was also a gift for my daughter, she loved it!! everything played well and it arrived very quickly thanks.

Nightmare on elm Street 3 Dream Warriors is no doubt the best installment to the Freddy Kruger franchise. The film has plot, decent 80s special effects, a nice cast that seem to act right, and the film makes up for the mistakes made in the previous elm street film. The best thing about Dream Warriors is that Original Nightmare star Heather Lanegkamp returns as the heroine. Plus popular cast members like Patricia Arquette, Laurence Fishburne, and John Saxon make the film much enjoyable to watch, and Wes Craven comes back to pen the script. Truthly, I think that the elm street series should have been laid to rest with closing story of this chapter, because the ending presents logical sense as to how Freddy Kruger is finally defeated in having him buried and seeing his spirit go out in a blaze of light. Chuck Russell; the director of The Mask and Eraser has managed to do a fair job in directing this nail-biting, scare fest thriller with fun written added all over it. When I went ahead and viewed the rest of the Elm Street films, I was absolutely disappointed at the kind of garbage that had thrown into to making such crappy sequels. Personally, I think the elm street series should be just remembered as a trilogy, so that we the audience can be sparred the misery in not having to watch up on the rest of the pointless sequels.

It has always been my favorite of all the Nightmare movies
and I love Robert Englund. Ebay is the best place to find
the movies that you want.

well i love this movie cause of the character of freddie and his unique way of killing people shows no remorse and has fun while doing it out of the whole collection i thimk part 1 and 3 are the best. sincerely, el borrego213

sctached a little bit but works great,fast shiping,i really like the movie and i needed it to complete my collection

I love Freddy movies. When I'm watching one of his movies, it makes me remember how scared I was watching it for the first time as a child. I love movies that take you back in time like that.

I love NightMare On Elm Street Movies. I have seen them all a dozen times. But my little sister never got to see A Nightmare On Elm Street 3. Me and my sister have a pretty close relationship since I take care of her because of our mother passing away. I never could seem to catch this one on TV to watch with her. So I searched around trying to get just this one without buying the whole set. I finally found it on EBAY. I had to be sneaky cause my sister loves the computer and is very curious considering her age. So I hid it until Christmas then gave it to her. She was so happy. We stayed up real late and watched it that night. Overall I recommend getting any of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. THANKS!!!!!!!!

I had been searching for this DVD in every video store, and could never find it on DVD. I was so happy when I found it on Ebay, and at a price that was beyond reasonable. It was better then a bargain, it was practically a steal.I had to buy it, and I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

I personally do not like this movie, I bought it for my gf. There was a mixup in shipping, I recieved part 1 instead, but good communication I recieved the right movie and paid for both. Happy Ending.
