A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge, tells the story of a new family that's moved into Nancy Thompson's house from the first film. The teenage son begins having disturbing dreams involving Freddy Krueger, and throughout the film, Freddy gradually takes over the teen's body so he can continue his killing spree outside of the dream world. This movie doesn't even have the same style as the first film, and the deaths are more violent and more ridiculous than before.
When the first Nightmare film was so good, it was hard to think the second film would be so utterly bad. The problem is that the script just doesn't have the same style and charm as the first movie. Wes Craven managed to create a creepy atmosphere, whereas this movie is like a joke. Freddy Krueger hardly appears throughout the film, and when he does, it's under the stupidest circumstances. There's one huge plot hole that bothers me. Why has this teenage boy who is moving into a house where bad things happened, on a street where bad things happened never heard of Freddy Krueger? Everything that was done right in the first movie was done wrong here.
The acting is just awful. Even Robert Englund seemed weak in the role that made him famous. Then again, he wasn't in the movie very much.
Overall, this movie is terrible and doesn't fit with the first film at all.
1/10
