Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils[/caption]Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund)... I would say that as far as icons go, that Freddy Krueger is as influential, as say, 'Tom Sawyer' in the 19th century and the, 'Three Muketeers' in the 17th century...
I know that may sound odd... But it is true, I mean he is one of the figures that came out in the 20th century that in a lot of ways is extremely recognizable for the latter half of the 20th century... As a matter of fact, at one point this character was so popular that it was acceptable to have their children wear costumes that were created based on that character!
I hate to say it though, but where as, A Nightmare Elm Street (1984) was truly fantastic, A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985), while being good, just wasn't as good!

A classic![/caption]Written by: David Chaskin (The Curse) & Directed by: Jack Sholder (Alone In The Dark). Starring: Robert Englund (Night Of The Sinner). Mark Patton (Ana To The Infinite Power), Robert Rusler (Weird Science), Clu Gulager (The Return Of The Living Dead), Kim Myers (Hellraiser: Bloodlines), Hope Lange (Death Wish), Marshall Bell (Starship Troopers) & based on the characters created by: Wes Craven (Scream 4).
This first sequel tells the story of how about 5 years after the events of the first movie, Nancy Thompson's house has finally been sold to a nice family... In this family is the father, 'Ken Walsh' (Clu Gulager), the mother, 'Cheryl Walsh' (Hope Lange), Angela Walsh (Christie Clarke) & there son, 'Jesse Walsh' (Mark Patton).
Now Jesse is just starting to fit in, he has made friends with, 'Ron Grady' (Robert Rusler), and is about to hook up with Lisa Webber (Kim Myers)... The problem is, is that there is an old house guest that is about to rejoin the party and has Jesse do some things that he may not really want to do!

Lisa is saving Jesse by making out with Freddy...[/caption]In the end, this movie does have it's moment, I mean the chemistry between Mark Patton and Kim Myers was really awesome... There is also a scene at a party that is a lot of fun as well!
The main problem that I had with this movie is that the level of homosexual references is just a little to much...
Despite all else though, this movie may not be as good as the first one, but it is a fun one!
