Reviews:

Freddy’s Revenge deserves redemption. If you don’t expect a film about Freddy, you can appreciate this sequel for what it is, instead of begrudging it for what it isn’t. The argument for a gay reading–the idea that Freddy is symbolic of the protagonist’s repressed homosexual desires–isn’t entirely convincing but even without it, the movie’s a lot better than many credit it. This is a Nightmare on Elm Street story that uses the creature to explore what it feels like to grow up. It’s confusing and scary and transformational. Tonal shifts and plot mistakes only contribute to the overall intent.

Possession is nine-tenths of the law.

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge is the runt of the Elm Street litter. It was unfortunate to be the sequel to a landmark horror film, a film that birthed one of the ultimate horror icons whilst having at its core a terrifying premise. A premise that was superbly executed by all involved in the first film. Part 2 bravely tried to advance the bogeyman story to another level, to one of possession, which in hindsight was a mistake.

There’s also the mixed tonal flow and confused intents that hamper the pic. Whilst the young members of the cast are too blank to garner the required amount of sympathy to get us to care about their plight, especially lead lad Mark Patton as Jesse Walsh. However, there is still a lot to like here, some striking imagery grabs the attention and it is not without some unnerving scares.

The debates about what metaphors the makers were going for still exist, and that homo-erotic sheen is never going to go away, but even though it’s an average Elm Street movie, it’s not as dreadful as it was first painted. 5/10

Not as bad as some would have you think.
The first of the Elm Street sequels is a bit different than the other films of the series, but it’s not nearly as bad as some critics say.

Young man (whose family has moved into the Elm Street house) is terrorized by chuckling Freddy, who wants to use him to do his dirty work.

‘Elm Street 2 is a fairly entertaining sequel directed by B movie maker Jack Sholder. The movie’s possession theme is solidly played out with some tight direction. Sholder gives this movie some well-done moments of shock and dark humor. The opening sequence on the bus is a memorable thrill ride. The film boasts some bloody FX. Charles Bernstein’s theme music is missed, but Bing Crosby’s song ‘Did You Ever See A Dream’ makes for a nice touch. Many say that this movie has homosexual themes and granted star Mark Patton does spend much of the movie semi-naked, but the theme is a bit of a stretch.

Robert Englund makes a welcomed return as Freddy, while the rest of the cast does decent performances.

All around, a good sequel that hasn’t really gotten critical justice.

Followed by the superior Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987).

*** out of ****

Overlooked, Big Time
This movie seems like it has nothing to do with whole entire series. It does sort of? Really this one just furthers along the Freddy character and mixes in a few new elements as well. I’ve never really quite got a handle on this movie myself. It’s still good to watch from time to time though. The characters are developed right and Freddy is shown an equally amount of good times throughout it, but there is still something missing to make it a true Nightmare movie.

MINOR SPOILER:

The only thing I did not like about this movie is this is when the series started to take a fantasy twist. I also did not like the claws coming from Fred’s fingers
