Jay R Oct 15 Always a great movie, this theater used a real reel projection of the movie, it was a great experience. See more Jessica C Sep 11 It was a fun movie that really held up well for the time period. We really enjoyed seeing this again. See more Ollie W @RT90619198 3d The soundtrack was composed by Angelo Badalamenti, who is a frequent collaborator with David Lynch. Unfortunately what he delivered for this film just adds to its campy unscary vibe. Patricia Arquette is terrible in the lead role. It’s surprising that she went on to have a successful career. It has some very dark themes (a child killer, teenage suicide and self harm and mental illness) yet is unserious and childish. While this film has an age rating of 18, it seems to be aimed primarily at 12 year olds. The film turns Freddy into a comedy act, and he therefore loses any ability to frighten. The non-stop wisecracks and one-liners from Freddy totally ruin any horror vibe. There was an intriguing premise here and some of the stylised surreal OTT kills are entertaining, but there are too many problems with this film and it's far too cheesy to be interesting or good. I do like the theme song by the heavy metal band Dokken though. See more Alex B @AlexBioni Aug 24 Nightmares and Therapy This is significantly better than the second movie. I really enjoyed the plot. The kids have all experienced Freddy and are brought together at a hospital, where they must work together to stop him. It's a unique concept and an interesting way to expand the story. Robert Englund is great as always, and the effects are fantastic. I love how these movies can get completely insane with their dream sequences and we just accept it because it's Freddy. The human puppet and TV scenes are crazy, and the movie adds some interesting lore to Freddy. I do find it strange that the adults don't believe the kids, even when they're all describing the same person. The self harm angle is interesting too, although you'd think the professionals would realize something was wrong. It isn't as scary as the original, and the middle drags a bit. Still, it's a huge improvement over Part 2, but the original is superior.

It doesn't lose its essence. A fantastic cult film—a truly great classic. See more Charles T @CharlesGaming1000 Jul 14 Great! This should have been the real part 2, but I am not saying I didn’t like part 2 See more Read all reviews
