jonathan Oct 16 Favorite elm street movie. Was a total shock to see it was going to be back in theaters See more Willplays T @RT74688704 Apr 25 Now for a sequel that goes for a completely different tone, hate me or not but it fuckin’ works. 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. See more Taner B. @Tanmanhorrorfan Apr 14 A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge is a solid sequel that brings Robert Englund back as Freddy Krueger, once again delivering a great performance with iconic lines that help carry the film. 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 Bret M. @BretM-3 Apr 1 This sequel is boring, goes on for too long, and breaks the rules established in the first film. The opening scene is great, but after that the movie just falls apart for me. See more Patric N @RT91103425 Mar 25 A movie with a lot of subtext about repressed sexuality and homoerotic themes that made it popular among the LGBTQ. It was done intentionally by both the screen writer and the lead actor (who himself was in the closet at the time) to tap into the sexual anxiety that teenagers had at the time. But in the end, it's a very messy movie where you rarely know what's happening or what is real (but that might be on purpose). The movie breaks all rules set in the first movie, making it the least popular movie in the series among many fans. I have seen it before, about 30 years ago, but had forgotten pretty much everything (the only movie in the series I have no memories of). However, I found it more entertaining now than I suspect I did back then. Wes Craven was not a fan of this movie and while he tried to give advice, they ignored most of them. They did listen about giving Lisa a bigger role and that was a good choice. See more Read all reviews
