A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

Freddy's back! And he is none too please with what happened to him at the hands of Nancy.

So this time he has a new plan. With the resentful help of a teenage boy name Jesse, Freddy will make his way back to Elm street to exact his revenge.

Directed by Jack Sholder, produced by Robert Shaye, written by David Chaskin, starring Mark Patton, Kim Meyers, and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger.

This is one of my least favorite parts of the series due to how slow it is to progress to anything fun or cool l.  Also, the way Freddy comes to be this time around just drives me up the wall. It makes no sense and does not match the remainder of the series at all.

So the conclusion i'm jumping to is that Jesse is mentally unstable and has been from the beginning. He just uses the Freddy persona as something or someone to blame for his wrong doings.

It's really the only way I can put this entry into the series without dissecting each individual part of each film to try and make it fit.

Otherwise, the special effects looks very good in this one, all the play with fire really added to the aura, which is not something I can say about the acting unfortunately.

An alright film on it's own but I do have to give this one a 4 out of 10.
