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.

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!

I know a lot about MR.freddykruger but more than enough to know that NOES3 is the best!
freddy morphs into a puppet, a snake, even a tv! it also makes up for the lame plot of NOES2!
youve got to see it! its soooooooo cooooooool!!!!!!!!!1

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?

this was the best freddy movie oh my god it was not better than wes cravens new nightmare on elm street this is my fave elm street film i cant wait to get it on dvd im gonna watch it over & over again ill let my class watch it

For Freddy fans, this is a favorite. Freddy spends his time going through the dreams of teenagers in a mental hospital. Kristen is a girl who has the power to pull people into her dreams and this is how they attempt to fight Mr. Krueger. By getting in touch with their special 'dream powers' the teens take on Freddy, mostly to meet their doom, but good prevails. While fighting Freddy in his own realm is impossible, in the real world, his bones are found and buried with holy water and a crucifix. Freddy is defeated! Oh wait here comes part 4.

Freddy has some great kills in this one like 'the puppet', 'the TV', 'the drug-dealer, and the near killing of Joey as the hot blonde nurse. Now that was some major tongue power.

Excluding the first, this is definitely the best Freddy sequel. It is lighter hearted than the first two, but it doesn't let Freddy's wise-cracking antics get over the top.
The story concerns a group of teenagers who are all patients at an asylum. Later on we also learn that they are the last children left of the parents who murdered Freddy. Basically the film is about him (Freddy) picking all of them off one by one.
This is the one that really paves the way for Freddy's character to cease to be dark and become quite funny. He's not in the shadows no more and he's starting to pull jokes rather than snarl. You would think that this would put the film in quite a negative light, but it doesn't. This factor makes the film more fun. Sure, it's got a few scary moments but it's also jam-packed with humour.
The acting is actually quite good, too. Much better than the first two. I know that not many people watch slasher films for the acting, but if it's good it does help greatly. Also, unlike other horror movies, you actually care for these teenagers and especially the Doctor who's in charge of them all. That's why you feel a little sorry for them when they bite the dust.
And talking of the deaths, they'll all great. Like Freddy's character, this is the one that paved the way for the deaths to become a little more elaborate. The 'puppet' death, the 'T.V.' death. They'll all great.
Also, like its predecessors, this film is full of good imagery. Freddy transforming into a giant worm, a moving skeleton. Visually the film is quite good.
So, if you've heard loads of negative comments about the Freddy films, I'm sure this entry will change your mind.

Freddy's back, and this time, he wants to finish off everyone (just like he did in the other seven movies)
The heroine of Elm Street 1, Nancy, has returned to Springwood as a graduate student, doing groundbreaking research into pattern nightmares, just like the horrible nightmares that are plaguing abunch of Psychiatric patients at the mental hospital.
One in particurlar, Kristen, has a gift to bring people whoare still awake, into her dreams. Together, they have far more chance of defeating the demon that lurks on their periphery while they sleep. Freddy Krueger.
Nancy tries to convince the other doctors of the deadly nature of the dreams, but only one will listen to reason.
Together they uncover more and more of Freddy's past, and try to once and for all put Freddy in his grave. But not until someone important and lovable pays the ultimate price.
Elm Street 3 is better than most sequels. Some good FX help it, and the improved history details give us SOME insight into Freddy's habits.
I loved the ending to this, and every other Freddy movie.
But remember this prayer...
Now I lay my head down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
For if I die before I wake,
I pray the lord my soul to take...

This is the last Elm St. movie worth watching. It's a bridge between the first two more serious horror films, and the self parodies which came after. This one has it's share of silliness that would be amplified in later movies, but it's actually very good. More elaborate FX were starting to get used at this point, such as Freddy as a marionette, and as a giant worm. Quick plot synopsis for those unfamiliar: The remaining Elm St. kids are all locked away in a psych ward, tormented by Freddy dreams. Naturally the doctors don't buy into this Freddy thing all until Nancy Thompson from the original film shows up. She's now a doctor herself, and manages to convince a fellow psychiatrist(Craig Wasson, a horribly underused actor) of what's going on. The kids get in touch with their dream powers(thus the title Dream Warriors) and go off to do battle with Freddy. The Dream Warriors concept is kinda corny(the whole "I am the wizard master" thing will make you cringe), but it's all in good fun. Nancy's father(the underrated John Saxon) also makes a cool appearance. Honestly, this series should have ended here. Freddy's demise here is actually pretty final and more films weren't needed-it could have ended here. Unfortunately, Hollywood milked this cash cow for all it was worth and came back with more Freddy comedies.
