This terrible sequel pushed Freddy into a mainstream area that seemed too safe for him to be the Freddy we already missed. [Full review in Spanish]

With each entry, the films become more removed from their source. Freddy just isn't scary anymore.

While some of the monotonous effects are strikingly surreal, Harlin's direction creates an atmosphere which is more morbid than scary.

Not much to see here except for the occasional '80s big hairdo and some decent gore shots.
Original Score: 2/5

Though the Elm Street series contains the most intelligent premise in current genre films, none of the movies take much advantage of their potential.
Original Score: 2.5/5

As always, the teen actors are disposable, and even Robert Englund seems to be sleepwalking through Freddy.
