But this may be the first time I heard the line "I shaved my balls for this?" although I don't know if the movie is the origin of that.

Easily the best sequel of this franchise. Nice to look back and see Patricia Arquette and Lawrence Fishburne. Not too scary but pretty fun

Love it! The whole cast shines in this and it is a romp! My son and I have seen just about all the sequels(I think there's 57
...) and while the budget keeps shrinking they keep the corniness and earnestness alive.

I thought this was pretty good but I was a bit disappointed after seeing the director's previous movie, Blue Ruin, which was incredible. It was fun seeing Patrick Stewart in a role like this but it did take me out of the story a bit.
One of my faves from childhood. I actually got to see a live screening of this in Philly about 5 years go with a panel including Heather Langenkamp and a solo performance from Don Dokken, pretty wild.

This movie is the best of the series, but none of them made my list. Had to make room for Rear Window and Tremors.

This one was a fun riff on creature features. Loved this movie as a kid. Wore out the VHS.

Nightmare 3 was always a favorite of mine, agree it’s the best of the sequels
Also love tremors, watched it with my kids while back, think we got to part 3 maybe

This is one I need to watch asap. When looking through the horror reddit to see if it was horror or not, I saw many, many comments that this is an amazing movie (and confirmation that it is horror). I know there's a few of these Korean crime thrillers that are also lumped into the horror genre.

Great movie, don’t think it’s horror imo

What a great rebound from the dreadful and now completely comedic Nightmare On Elm Street 2 Freddy's Revenge. There is a great documentary on Netflix I believe (or Shudder) about the lead male in this. Really good watch and it clues you into why even at age 15 (1985) I knew this guy played for the same team. LOL This confirmed it. And full disclosure....I don't care....but back then it was taboo. This brings it all into focus. It's a very good doc.
Anyway onto Dream Warriors. It's a great sequel that completly dismisses part 2 like it never happened. Back then the effects were great. Freddy has the best one liners in his history in Part 3.
I would also tell you part 4 was a very solid sequel to part 3 and then it's all downhill till we get Wes Cravens New Nightmare (really good meta sequel).
Dokken rocks!!!!

bet I can also find dozens of posts by people who think the earth is flat, doesn’t make it so
Scoresman
Footballguy
Right but there are many many more people who say the earth is round. And from what I can see, there are many many more people who count these Korean thrillers as horror than there are who don't. Bad analogy to begin with though. You're talking about something objective (earth is round) vs. something subjective (is it horror)

In terms of a category or labeling system majority perception IS the definition of the category/label.

I like the Brendan Frasier version better. Because it is stupid fun.

One of my absolute favorite films. Did not consider it for horror

I considered it. Loved the movie but didn't feel it fit the genre either.
Dan Lambskin

Maybe just update it to a horror + thriller countdown
and don't forget comedy
Scoresman
Footballguy
No need. The general consensus I've seen on the internet is to include these fringe movies into the definition of horror. If it wasn't I'd be as restrictive as you want it to be.
It's definitely subjective to an extent and a case by case basis, but I said from the beginning this will lean to be more open than restrictive.
KarmaPolice
Footballguy
I agree here, but I also think Nightmare is the main franchise of the 80s that holds up the least. The idea is awesome, but once we get to Freddy quipping all the time and Power Gloving it up, it's gets pretty bad.

I agree. In terms of slashers as a franchise, for me it's Friday the 13th > Halloween >>>>>>> Nightmare on Elm Street.
Individual movies from each franchise I'd go Halloween > Friday 13th Part 2 >>>>>>>> NOES
Ranking the "killer" from each, for me it's Michael Myers > Jason >>>>>> Freddy
So, I liked this movie enough and was super glad all the main characters died because they were annoying f%#ks but I got motion sickness halfway through and had to pause for a bit. The shaky cam was overdone and made me actually nauseous but the climax shot was different and kind of cool.
KarmaPolice

When I think about it, what the 80s did the most wrong is make it so the killers were the main focus and who people started cheering for. At that point the tension leaves (because who cares about the annoying no-name teens), and we have to think of ever increasing dumb ways to bring these killers back to life. Telekinesis? Really?

Decent found footage. Main guy is definitely the villain. He causes all of his friends to die. All to save a girl that for most of the movie, should already be dead. I agree that all of the characters sucked, but the brother seemed fine.
