Nightmare on Elm St ripoff, anyone?

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.

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

It's probably why they offered the part to Jennifer Rubin.
But, let's be fair, the eighties were known for having horror genre films that ripped off each other. It's what probably lead to the genre's close demise by the mid nineties.

Irregardless, it's a pretty good film. It's probably will be the one that Jennifer Rubin is remembered for, unless she dives back into the game and starts getting involved in more film projects.

I thought it was way better than most if not all of the Elm St sequels, actually. I think it was a definite cash in but it was surprisingly solid, I thought.

Oh totally, what with the mental hospital, members of the group being killed, Jennifer Rubin, the fact that it was called "bad dreams", the burned "killer" etc.
And hey did anybody notice the brief cameo of Charles Fleischer? He was the doctor in the sleep clinic in the first NOES! : )
