This, for a long time, used to be my favorite Nightmare. But that time has long gone. There are some good gore scenes, kills that fit the genre and Freddy is back. It's horror for sure. Not scary but campy and bloody. Where part 2 was a different take on the franchise, part 3 brings us back to teenagers with bad dreams being killed. This movie comes short to the original in story, acting and finesse but was the beginning of exact the same sequels for years to come. In that matter the Nightmare and Friday the 13th movies are the same.

Lol indeed. Just watched 3 and actually found I rather enjoyed it. Some effectively creepy and surreal dream inspired stuff and I love the image of Freddy being a puppet master using veins as strings. I think it captures my attention that bit more because it is not simply stalk and slash. Some duff acting, the junkyard scene, and the strange school bus scenes don't help but overall decent enough.
2.5/5
