Historia
After suffering severe wrist wounds in a hallucinatory encounter with Freddy Krueger, Kristen Parker is sent to a psychiatric ward by her mother, who mistakenly believes Kristen attempted suicide. At the hospital, Kristen joins other troubled teens in group therapy sessions led by Dr. Elizabeth Simms. One of Kristen's new friends, Jennifer, reveals she also experiences nightmares about Freddy and demonstrates her ability to pull him into reality through her dreams. Meanwhile, another patient named Joey has his soul sucked out by Freddy during a hypnosis session led by Dr. Simms. To combat Freddy, the group decides to use their shared dream power against him. Together with Nancy Thompson from the previous film, who now works as an orderly at the hospital, they devise a plan to pull Freddy into reality and destroy his physical form once and for all.
Resumen
Following the success of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' (1984) and its sequel 'Dream Warriors' is set in the same universe but focuses more on the concept of shared dreaming and collective power against the supernatural killer, Freddy Krueger. The film explores themes of mental illness and group therapy as Kristen Parker and her fellow patients navigate their nightmares together under the guidance of Dr. Simms. It's a blend of horror and thriller genres that capitalizes on the popularity of slasher films in the 1980s, while also incorporating elements of supernatural horror.
