User Review
Freddy's back to terrorize a confused teenage boy!
Rating: 7/10
Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2 (1985) was the second film in the Freddy
Krueger series. This time his main target is
the son of a man who just but the Elm Street house. Freddy preys on this
sexually confused kid and forces him to do
his bidding and uses him to serve his twisted needs. Can poor Jesse over
come the strong willpower of Freddy? Will he be
able to discover his true self? Watch and find out, you'll be surprised!
Strange stuff.
What I liked about this film was the filmmakers tried to do something
different, and it almost killed the series. The plot
and storyline was too complex and byzantine for you average horror film.
Much of the film's hidden context and meaning
would go over the heads of most horror film fans. If Sigmund Freud were
alive today he would've had a field day trying to
figure out this one. Sadly underrated and unfairly neglected..
