If they can conquer their own psychoses perhaps they can acquire the ability to fight back against this horrific specter of death. One of the better aspects of this screenplay is that the writers are able to stick to the rules set by Wes Craven, thus Krueger is a monster confined to dreams who uses this world to bring about death to every young person in his path in some of the most creative ways possible. From a live marionette to sucking track marks, this is Freddy Krueger before he became a demonic Scud Farkis. Once the kids decide it's time to fight back, "Dream Warriors" is taken to new heights that improve upon the original film rather than stifle the vision Craven originally brought to horror audiences. "Dream Warriors" is definitely the best of the "Nightmare" sequels, and it's a shame this is about as good as it got for the series once it ran out of ideas and became a standard hack and slash. There are so many more realms of dream culture out there that the final films could have been even better than "Dream Warriors." Imagine the possibilities

A great rebound from the wretched sequel, "Dream Warriors" is arguably the best sequel of the "Nightmare" series featuring one of the most creative premises of the franchise and a concept many viewers will find quite innovative. It's a shame the rest of the films never reached this peak.
