A surprisingly enjoyable and effective sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is largely set in a psychiatric hospital but uses this as a take off point for the Dream spaces of its patients who much like Nancy Thompson from the original film are threatened by the ultimate nightmare maker and slayer Freddy Krueger. Well directed by Chuck Russell with nice performances by Heather Lagenkamp as Nancy and Patricia Arquette and Jennifer Ruben as patients Kristen and Taryn respectively Dream Warriors remains one of strongest and the best of the sequels to A Nightmare on Elm Street.
