Picking up where the original Nightmare left off, Nancy has grown up and become a psychiatrist specializing in dream therapy. She meets a group of children at a local hospital facing Freddy Krueger, the same demon she once encountered in her sleep. One of them is Kristen, who has the power to draw other people into her dreams.

Dick Cavett and Zsa Zsa Gabor are only on-screen for thirty seconds. In the advance release posters, only Dick Cavett was credited because it was unsure who Dick's guest in his scene would be. By the time the film was released, Gabor had been picked by Cavett for the scene, the scene had been filmed, and Gabor and Cavett's named appeared on the one-sheet posters. See more »
Goofs
(at around 1h 14 mins) In the alley scene with Taryn, Freddy's claw is clearly missing a blade on one of the fingers. See more »

Dream Warriors is without a doubt the best Elm Street sequel. The first 2 dealt with just one main character against Freddy and everyone else thinking they're crazy. But of course, after a while people start realizing they're all dreaming about Freddy. And If he can use their dreams against them, they can also use their dreams against him. Brilliant!
This is where the deaths became more elaborate and Freddy started to spout out catchy one-liners. A lot of people resent this film for starting the whole 'joker Freddy' trend, but this has just the right amount of Freddy wit to still have him be scary and threatening, which really he is.
This is the most exciting, thrilling, imaginative Freddy movie of the bunch. You have to see it to believe it.
My Rating: 6.5/10
