The film's dream sequences are ingenious, and they feature some remarkable nightmare images and special effects.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

This is filmmaking by the numbers, without soul.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
A creepy score and Russell's sure grasp of the skewed logic of nightmares helps to sustain the ambiguity between the 'real' and 'dream' worlds, while Englund's Freddie now fits like a glove.
