About
You might like this if you want a darker, more modern take on a classic horror setup with tense dream sequences and a creepy villain; Not for you if you prefer the original’s campy fun or want something more original than A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
Pros: creepy villain; tense dream scenes; solid lead performances | Cons: bland scares; recycled moments; uneven dialogue
