A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is where things started to get really cheesy for Freddy; this film is caught in the eighties, every death accompanied by a one liner and the horror feels somewhat diluted as the film lurches towards fantasy. Freddy is now working his magic on some disturbed teens in a mental institution and they are picked off one by one as the formula dictates. It is very easy to watch, the special effects sequences are certainly ambitious and there are some great Freddy moments but the feel of the original is almost completely lost and this film is already starting to feel like parody.

Bodycount - 5

Gore - a fair bit of gore and the death scenes are all imaginative
