jonathan Oct 16 Favorite elm street movie. Was a total shock to see it was going to be back in theaters See more Romas M @Romas 6h Greetings from Lithuania. "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge" (1985) is a sequel to a far superior "Nightmare on Elm Street". This sequel despite its many shortcomings was kinda fun and mostly entertaining film for me. I do like practical effects, make up is incredible, acting was OK. Screenplay tried to be different from a first film - gone are the dream sequence (mostly) and trey tried to do a bit different take. At its very short 1 h 22 min run time this film wasn't boring and had good time for most part. The ending while interesting doesn't live up to the first part by far. Overall, second film isn't bad by any means, and I like most of it. But it is just to weird and script while different from first film isn't that good either. Still, a fun, bloody and goory film.

I don’t get why people and critics hate it so much because for me it try’s something new and the thought that Freddy now tries to get in the real world trough possessing a body is a really fresh idea. For me it definitely is a really good atmospheric slasher movie and a great sequel.

This film delivers on the dark aggressive Freddy Krueger tone that all us hardcore nightmare fans know and love and is absolute safe to say that this Freddy is easily the scariest in the series. Now I know it breaks the rules that makes A Nightmare on Elm Street an A Nightmare on Elm Street movie, but the characters have great chemistry and are extremely likeable with an absolute great story. The possession subplot I think could use some work and that’s why it doesn’t get full 5 stars. Absolute recommendation for a horror movie pick.

However, this entry is a bit more mixed compared to the original. While there is one standout kill that really works, the rest are either just okay or not very memorable. Some scenes also feel weird or out of place, including an unusual shower sequence that doesn’t quite land. Overall, it has its moments and still benefits from Freddy’s presence, but it doesn’t fully capture the magic of the first film. Score: 7/10 See more Spring T. @IRONXYX Apr 4 Using the same formula all over again. See more Read all reviews
