i am a pretty big nightmare on elm st fan and i must say that when i watched bad dreams, nightmare didn't even occur to me. there may be similarities but it is by no means a rip off. the nightmare on elm st series doesnt have a monopoly on horror movies about nightmares.

I do feel the same way as djtizzy about this movie. I liked it but it didn't remind me of Nightmare on Elm Street at all.

Thanks for the newsflash Tom Brokaw. Critics(and horror movie people) have talked about it for years. It's still a good late 80's horror film. Check out Esplatter or Arrowinthehead or any horror movie site for that fact.

Well, forgive me for being 6 years old when this movie came out and not paying attention to the reviews made about it at the time. Besides, I wasn't asking the professional reviewers if they'd noticed. The point of this thread is to mention that I was distracted by the obvious similarities to Nightmare 3 and that prevented me from enjoying the movie as much as I would have if I hadn't seen it. No review will change that. So take the pointlessly sarcastic tone elsewhere. Thank you.

I agree, Bad Dreams has a lot of similarities to Dream Warriors. With Bad Dreams being released just one year after the Elm Street sequel I wouldn't be suprised if the director had been heavily influenced by it.

Definitely a Nightmare ripoff, but still worth watching. Jennifer Rubin is ultra cool.

Yeah, it is basically Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3- Part 2. It's ok in that so bad it's good kind of way, but it is slightly better than most of the cheesy 80s horror.

The script was written and sold before Nightmare 3 was released, so it's all a coincidence.

I saw this film on T.V. when I was a little kid (no, I don't know why I was watching it, lol) but I hadn't seen NoES and my friend was describing it to me and I was like "oh yeah I saw that on T.V. when I was a little kid". Then we went and watched NoES and realised it wasn't

I bet you didn't even like Nightmare on Elm Street.
Everyone knows Richard Lynch is the original Robert Englund.

I agree, while it could be a rip off, it is kind of original for an 80's slasher film. Plus Jennifer Rubin was in both NOES 3 and this film.
