It’s pretty gay and I’m not being snarky and calling it dumb. It’s GAY. Lounging here on my plush bean bag ballsac chair being fanned with dildos by slicked up oiled up muscle men wearing dental floss. There’s a copy of Freddy’s Revenge on the credenza ... it’s the gayest thing in the room. “My, God - It is hot like an oven in here.”

Seeing this now stirred up a memory of watching it at a friend's house one night when I was 8 or so. I remember being upset about his mom fast forwarding through the part where the main characters start getting it on. Well it's 16 years later and I've finally seen it, so all you did was delay the inevitable lady. BOOYAH, in your FACE!

Props to the film-makers for attempting to take Freddy in a new direction, but its violation of the ground rules of Freddy as a nightmare-specific demon oddly reduces his ability to scare, not helped by Englund's tired performance this time round. Supposed homoerotic subtext adds a little extra interest, but the inclusion of an effectively slimy Bell raises questions the movie is not really willing to address. Not quite a noble failure, but not without some interest.

The follow-up to the slasher hit "A Nightmare on Elm Street"(1984) saw the villainous "Freddy Krueger" take his revenge out on the audiences who paid to see this terrible sequel. This messy possession plot mixed with historic levels of homoerotic subtext goes off the rails in the end when the movie goes all "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday"(1993), on what we thought we understood about the Freddy mythology, by bringing a magical Freddy/Jesse into the real world to crash a pool party.

While still featuring tip top gore, effects, and cool kills, the second installment is far worse than the original, and even the third. Also, I'm not sure that the thematic message even holds water, it's almost like they're trying to tell us that being gay turns you into a serial killer, though in context of the 80's that's not far fetched to think.

Fine. I'll be That Guy: when taken on its own terms, this is a better-than-average scarefest. It has more in common with Jacob's Ladder or Angel Heart than the ANOES series, and in a way creates a Lovecraft-ian descent into personal madness and fear - which pushes Freddy to the background. And while I completely understand that to be a major flaw with fans, it really works when considered as a standalone or spinoff title. That it even has a subtext (surprisngly gay!) gives it more points for me.

There are parts here that feel unusual for the genre even though it's mostly just a result of bad ideas strung together in unsatisfying/unintentionally laughable ways. In addition to some awful ideas for scares (non-mechanical gym equipment & a single canary), there's a couple of dopey attempts at humor, & most oddly, a pronounced but perhaps unintentional homophobic subtext. It would've also been good if the film's big variation was explained. Why would Freddy want to kill in the real world?

This is a bad film, but as a gay text (notice how I didn't say subtext? This film is about as subtle as Liberace), it's magnificent. I am not sure why they decided to follow up a hugely successful horror film with this, but I am glad they did, because it's a great watch.

For me, this is a massive improvement on the original, and I'll explain why: the original, for all its conceptual ingenuity, felt like it was directed by me in high school. The film is strikingly amateurish. Freddy's Revenge has some studio money behind it and feels like it. This film is bonkers. It makes no sense. And it's a goddamn delight. Exploding hotdogs? I mean, come on.

(2016 Freddython #2:) Immediately a lazier and poorer film than the original with much weaker characters and dreams and kill sequences. It just kinds of coasts on the appeal of Freddy and little else. I didn't even really think about this until I'd watched more movies, but it really is wrong that Freddy just flat-out crosses over into the real world and starts killing. Also, hey, Kim Myers, Meryl Streep called she wants her face back.

An egregious step-down in quality from the first, bordering on so-bad-it's-good territory. It breaks all the rules laid down in the original and turns Freddy into an omnipotent superbeing who can do whatever the plot requires him to do. The only reason to watch it is the sheer amount of homoeroticism in the screenplay that was apparently missed by everyone bar the writer. And exploding death parrots. 25 points of this score is purely because of exploding death parrots.

The actually not half-bad acting elevates this sequel which begins very unevenly. But from Freddy's really cool werewolf/Aliens birth and on it's rather decent, if going into a somewhat over-the-top monster-flick territory.

Thanks to its reorientation as a camp classic of gay cinema, Freddy's Revenge has yielded incredible dividends as a hilarious romp through the horror of repressed teenage homosexuality in an era of queerness ravaged by AIDS and governmental oppression. Additionally, the messy history around the film's homoerotics has only added to its magnetism as a cult cultural object for analysis. This film is truly a masterpiece of horror in its own right, proving horror's potential as political mediation.

The homoerotic subtext is laughably awkward but mostly forgettable (except for the strange, Crusing-like club scene, what the hell?). What's really the problem here is that the film doesn't play by the rules: Freddy in the first film could only hurt you in your dreams, but here he's a magical genie-like figure who can start fires and easily wreak havoc in the real world. It consequently takes away all the suspense and makes Freddie incredibly generic and uninteresting.

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge is a disappointing follow-up to what was one of the best slasher movies to ever be released. This one shot itself in the foot from the get-go by neglecting to use the potential left for it with the original's premise, instead taking Freddy in a different direction which limits creativity. As a result, the film is less interesting and less intellectually stimulating. It also isn't scary and provides little in the way of suspense.

While not as good as the original, Freddy's Revenge is at times good. I think this movie being the only one in the series to have Freddy kill people outside of their dreams was a mistake. I think that having him choose Mark Patton's character to bring him back through fear was a good plot choice. The acting in this movie is well done. About halfway through the movie I thought to myself, "Wow! There are a lot of homoerotic undertones in this film." It is cool that they did that at that time.

Not exactly brilliant, but there are a few okay concepts in there. Sadly, at this point I will have to take back one kadam, due to the fact that there isn't any gratuitous nudity in a film where the low level of scriptmanship clearly demands it. Also, am I the only one who doesn't get WHAT exactly it is that Krueger is avenging here? I mean... He got all the kids he was after in the last movie...

While no great shakes on its own, as an allegory for a kid coming to terms with his own closet homosexuality, this movie is pretty interesting. Also, a swimming pool full of par-boiled Elm Street kids gives this film the highest death toll.

I think it’s fair to say it pales in comparison to the original, but Freddy’s Revenge still has it’s moments of genuine terror. Even though for the most part it doesn’t hit the highs of it’s opening sequence, I think for it’s time, it does get pretty ballsy with some of it’s subtle, but effective subtext. There is a lot more going on this time around with the characters themselves, and that helps a film that overall feels lighter than the original on the scare factor.

Not particularly scary, but Sholder has a good eye for practical effects - Freddy bursting out of the protagonist's belly is really awesome to represent how much he is influencing and possessing him --, not so much to plot development -- Jesse is a closeted teenage struggling with supernatural stuff and his feelings for his best friend, and she eventually goes to the boiling room to try to save him. A mix of ridiculous (bird attack) and nice stuff (pool party attack, opening scenes, final bus).

Top badass moment? It has to be Lisa going to the old steelworks at night, to confront Freddie and rescue her crush Jessie. Not only is this a completely stupid thing to do, but he's already told her he's killed two people, tried to kill her too, trashed her home and when she tried to make out with him he wasn't even into it. That's bassass friendship for you. 1 cat, no chainsaws or decapitations. Well I think it was a cat; I can't really imagine Freddy playing properly with a cute kitten.

Its endlessly fascinating homoerotic subtext makes this very watchable despite the fact that everything else about it sucks. Worth slugging through the excruciating boring "scares" at least once just for fact that this is the gayest film aimed at the masses EVER made and for that reason alone makes it much more interesting than typical slasher sequel cash-ins.

I avoided this for years and was unaware there were undertones of repressed sexuality, so boy was I in for a surprise! The undertones are most interesting part of the movie, for better or worse. I liked the intro and make-up and effects, but otherwise, this was poorly scripted with mostly wooden acting, with a title and logic that make no sense at all. Totally worth watching for its unintentional hilarity alone, but it's a very underwhelming sequel. "Help yourself, f*cker!"

As a standalone, outside of the larger Nightmare on Elm Street "mythos", Freddy's Revenge is a successful story about the horror of growing up. I like this entry because it isn't like the rest of the sequels--it's about more than just a dream boogeyman. To criticise it for not sticking to what became a tired and empty formula is to complain that a restaurant didn't make the fast food slop you expected and instead tried something new. It's not without big faults but it's among the better entries.

I've always appreciated these movies more for their nightmare imagery and logic than for Freddy himself, and this is just the weirdest, most autonomous entry - less a narrative than a teenager rebelling against himself, so disjointed that nothing can be taken at face value. It feels like second-rate DePalma or Lynch, and that counts for something.

While it's nowhere near the masterpiece the original was, Freddy's Revenge plays with some truly provocative ideas. Although the effects of the film never exceed the amazing opening sequence. Some of the nightmares are still cool to look at, the ending is intense and the acting is not half bad. If nothing else Nightmare 2 could have been far far worse.

Under appreciated due to its logic that messed up the timeline and tried to cut Freddy away from his dreamlike abilities, one of its main flaws is highlighted by this by being coherently given a standalone status. But it was a sequel that I liked because of how Freddy was given a great twist of allowing Jesse to bend to his will and come into the real world while still maintaining his abilities.

Viewed October 13, 2021. This kind of misses what made the first A Nightmare on Elm Street so good, but I suppose its extremely obvious subtext about closeted sexual confusion is its own form of "real world meets dream world" anxiety and horror. There are a lot of amusing scenes and images throughout this, but they just don't have the same punch as the Wes Craven-directed first entry.

All new characters means Freddy has to be reestablished, thus the slow start, his M.O. is inexplicably altered (Jesse's pointless recruitment, restraint in his kills) and the resolution is brought about by literally reading the first film's ending. Still, some of the changes add to the suspense, the transformation effects are pretty rad, the two lead roles hold their own and bring different dynamics to the table, and the subtle themes of sexual angst and repressed homoeroticism are intriguing.

A Daydream on Elm Street. This was too light and fluffy for me. It didn't have any of the punch of scariness that the first film had. Mr. Krueger was almost more comedic than the terrorizer of your dreams that he should be. The lead character was incredibly cheesy and his romantic interest was at least a little better, although not much could have saved this film. I got really bored about halfway through the film and wished that I would have picked a stronger way to end my Halloween...

Freddy's Revenge is the series' black sheep, being very different from the other movies in many ways. It is lacking in good nightmare sequences, and that's ultimately what causes it to fail. Having Freddy simply pop up in the real world is a bit jarring, as the point of him was to kill people in their most vulnerable state: in their sleep. The ending is also unintentionally corny. The movie's attempt to be different does spark some creativity, but overall, it's a big step down from the original,

The commercial success of this film allowed Sholder to stretch out his career for another twenty years, so it isn't completely worthless. Score based on distant memory.

Quite literally, one of the gayest films ever made. Absolutely worth it. (it's not bad because it's gay-- it's bad because it's in the closet)

There are moments in this film that are creepy and disturbing, but overall the film is weaker than the original. The plot is more ambiguous and it's not as entertaining. This is the type of 80s horror flick usually comes off as silly when it fails to be scary and this film is no different.

While not as thrilling as the first or third installments of the series, Freddy Krueger was still in his dark, badass stages as opposed to his comical side from 4, 5 and 6. This film has great atmosphere and you get to see more of Freddy's powers.

Overall a poor film but I did some enjoy the bickering between Jesse and Ron. I also found the premise of Jesse losing his mind very interesting but the film couldn't decide if it was supernatural or not. It seemed to find a medium which didn't work for me. Choose one. One thing I must say is that, intentional or not, the film is absolutely laced with a homoerotic content. According to Sholder, the director, this was unintentional which to me makes it hilarious.

A very interesting movie. What is about the part 2 of every series that makes them so strange? More about psychosexual drama than visual effects and kills, this is one of the better NOES sequels. Just give it a chance! The ending at the barbecue, however, is horrible.

This was definitely a weird one. It seems more like a Nightmare fanfic, or a movie that would have been made much farther down the road. It's still a decent movie, definitely not the best I've seen, but at least the series didn't seem to suffer too much for it.

This FX-heavy follow-up has a good supporting cast wasted on dumb characters and a plot that attempts to turn the pizza-faced Freddy into a comic anti-hero, a ploy that led the way to Fred becoming a pop icon of the late '80s. Child molester and kid killer as superstar? Who'da thunk it?

I think this film gets a bad rap. It's not as good as the original, sure, no will will argue with that. But otherwise I thought it was a fine movie. Freddy makes some cool appearances in it, the soundtrack by Christopher Young is appropriately creepy, and the story is original. It has some over the top characters, sure, but that's part of the fun. An enjoyable sequel.

Far from Jack Sholder's best work, but as clear a meditation on homophobia, and internalised homophobia, as any '80s US horror film.

Estreava há 35 anos nos EUA. Vemos aqui um homossexual reprimido com sonhos homoeróticos que viram realidade e que acabam em mais repressão massacrando seus objetos de desejo até terminar por uma problemática cura gay pelas mãos da mocinha. Depois ainda resta um último jump scare que pode dizer o inconsciente do protagonista ainda tá pulsando com seus desejos reprimidos, mas ainda acho zuado esse filme ter sido feito em plena epidemia de AIDS na era Reagan. BlurayRip RARBG.
