Freddy’s Revenge is so bad that I was certain this one could not be worse than that. And Dream Warriors isn’t just better than Freddy’s Revenge, it is really good nonetheless. Surprisingly well done.

We have way more nightmare sequences, something that really highlights the franchise from any other to me is this possibility the filmmakers have of unleashing some outside of the box ideas. I’m so glad they embraced this opportunity unlike other films (yes, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, I'm looking at you).
The nightmares are pretty creative and explore each character fears and personality.

Gore and special effects are so so good, I guess this is the slasher franchise with the best and most inventive grotesque and creepy effects. Never disappoints.

Soundtrack is pretty neat, fits so well with the movie.

The characters are interesting and have some background, we cheer for them, which is pretty hard in these movies. Nancy is back, (yay!) Heather Langenkamp really makes the difference and does a good job adding more depth and evolution to Nancy.
There’s a young Patricia Arquette in the film. I wasn’t expecting, but a great surprise, of course. Laurence Fishburne is also here, what a crazy and great cast. The rest of the supporting cast is good as well, Ken Sagoes is very funny.

It still has some rules established in the original film broken — one of my favorites by the way. When Freddy is killing someone in the dreams, the result of his insane attacks can be seen in the real world. In this one, this doesn’t happen, you may be butchered by Freddy while dreaming and as far as to the real world you just died peacefully in your sleep. This decision is purely made only to serve the plot, which bothers me a bit. By choosing this, it becomes an easy solution to make the doctors think that people are losing their minds and having suicidal tendencies.
Not only that, it was pretty cool seeing the outcome of Freddy’s murders, it gave us that classic Johnny Depp death in original film for in instance.

Even with this last flaw, it is a great movie. For me, it’s at least on the same level as the first one, perhaps even better due its creativity and the presence of more nightmares.
