When Freddy's nightmares start resulting in the death of the kids, their only hope at survival is Nancy Thompson, a dream specialist and the sole survivor of Freddy's first rampage after his death.
Directed by Chuck Russell, produced by Robert Shaye and written by Wes Craven, Bruce Wagner, Chuck Russell and Frank Darabont. Starring Craig Wasson, Patricia Arquette, Heather Langenkamp and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger.
This is my third favorite entry into the franchise and the one I have seen the most, thanks in part to the 90's and having it play on the specialty stations on a monthly basis.
I loved the story line in this one. Teaching the kids to take control of their dreams was a genius move and made every one of the characters seem bad ass to one degree or another once they were able to follow through with their transformation.
The acting was excellent from practically the entire cast including one Laurence Fishburne, who played a young orderly and you can't go on without the mention of all the great one liners that Freddy has in this one. They are just classic! But my hands down favorite has to be "Welcome to Prime Time, Bitch!"
As always, the special effects were excellent and it was reflected in a lot of the kills. For example, the TV kill and the puppet master kills are a great example of this.
It's a definite 8 out of 10 for me!
