A particularly nice touch is the ability of one of the teenagers to pull people into her dreams, allowing Langenkamp and the threatened kids to gang up against Freddie. The neat script also fills in a little more of the Freddie mythology, including a suitably tasteless account of his conception. A creepy score and Russell's sure grasp of the skewed logic of nightmares helps to sustain the ambiguity between the 'real' and 'dream' worlds, while Englund's Freddie now fits like a glove.
Of Course A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is repulsive. That is its primary attraction. All right-thinking people will steer clear. But wrong-thinkers with a taste for the grotesque will be in heaven, or the nearest satanic equivalent. [27 Feb 1987]

Freddy Krueger is the most talkative of slashers, and also the most creative. In A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, he displays a great debt to Dali in concocting surreal visions for his prey. When Freddy enters the dreams of his teen-age victims, ordinary objects become armed and dangerous.
The entire Nightmare on Elm Street oeuvre has been hailed by critics as a fascinating exercise in id projection and Freudian cant, which helps explain why criticism is in low regard. A better reason to see Dream Warriors, if indeed there is one, is that it's really pretty gross and neat. [06 Mar 1987, p.D2]
There are a few cheap thrills in Elm Street 3, but there are also plenty of effective effects, including mirrors-as-drowning-pools, Ray Harryhausen skeletal work and Freddy's body as a living frieze from hell. The film's major weakness can be summed up in two words: Craig Wasson. Wasson, who has the charisma of a bowl of wet chow mein, plays the sympathetic doctor who must try to outwit Freddy.
Pic is mainly focused on the violent special effects outbursts of Freddy Krueger (ably limned under heavy makeup by Robert Englund), the child murderer’s demon spirit who seeks revenge on Langenkamp and the other Elm St kids for the sins of their parents. Debuting director Chuck Russell elicits poor performances from most of his thesps, making it difficult to differentiate between pic’s comic relief and unintended howlers.
This is the third in a hyper-violent and rather stupid series of thrillers about an adult child killer--with knives for fingers--who is burnt to death but now has returned to haunt more teenagers in their sleep. The kids are all patients at a clinic where group therapy fails to stop their nightmares. What you get for your money are scenes with a severed head, the simultaneous injection of 10 hypodermic needles presumably filled with heroin and four long tongues that turn into arm and ankle straps for a sex scene. Whoopee! The film's only blessing? It just may be bad enough to kill off the series.
é muito triste mas lindo no final,é realmente um perola dos filmes de terror dos anos 80 .

While this movie was definitely not as good as the previous two, it still managed to be pretty entertaining. The kills were more inventive and the story was interesting, but the movie was way more silly and the ending wasn't very good. Disappointing to say the least...

Dream warriors my a**. How stupid is that? Having a war in your dreams. Just like America is doing now. The movie is utter insanity and that is how I got some enjoyment from it. I learnt that any movie with a metronome in really ****. At least no-one got pregnant. Told some more of the story but lacked anything exceptional.

This is some kind of crazy mess. Not scary, not funny, not interesting. Picking up where NIGHTMARE 3 left off, we see the three surviving teenage Dream Warriors suddenly being plagued
in their dreams by the supposedly dead and buried Freddy (Robert Englund), who is now moving into new territory and invading the dreams of mousy teen Alice (Lisa Wilcox). What the child-killer doesn't anticipate, however, is that Alice begins taking on the strongest characteristics of her friends
and soon becomes a complete Dream Warrior blessed with impressive athletic prowess, physical strength, and intelligence.
