a+nightmare+on+elmstreet+2 | Year: 1985 Classification: Horror Directed: - Jack Sholder Actors/Actresses: - Mark Patton as Jesse Walsh - Kim Myers as Lisa Webber - Robert Rusler as Ron Grady - Clu Gulager as Ken Walsh - Hope Lange as Cheryl Walsh - Sydney Walsh as Kerry - Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger - Christie Clark as Angela Walsh - Marshall Bell - Melinda O Fee - Tom McFadden - Lyman Ward - Donna Bruce - Hart Sprager - Edward Blackoff Enjoyable on it's own right Spoilers ahead.Read with caution. Surprisingly,Nightmare On Elm Street Part 2-Freddy's Revenge,nearly isn't as bad as people say it is.It's pretty cool,actually.For some crazy reason,I liked this better than NOES 1.Freddy's in it for about 20 minutes instead of the unbearably short 10 minutes of the first movie. His face make-up is very gross and he's even darker than in the first movie.His one-liners are pretty cool ("You've got the body,I've got the Brain") and he looks neat with razors embedded into his fingers.The special F/X are a little better than the F/X from the original.The scene where Freddy crawls out of Jesse's body is really cool and the infamous pool party scene is awesome. The ending is still a bit of a letdown,but it's certainly much better than the ending from the original.Overall,NOES Part 2 is actually pretty cool.Given the choice,I'd rather watch it than NOES 1.It's a fun carnival ride.Rent it to kill some time.Rated R for gruesome horror violence, strong language and brief sexuality. decent 4 freddy little bit scary, little bit funny just like a good freddy movie should be but it was good all together. a decent freddy. Ooh, scary... NOT!!! After taking a look at the second entry in the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' canon, I can't say I found it all that scary. Sure there were a few moderately gruesome scenes, but overall I wasn't exactly shocked or all that nauseated by what played out on the screen. 'Course, after enduring many a moment of genuinely hideous over-the-top gore from films like 'Predator', 'Total Recall', and 'Starship Troopers', I guess it was a given I'd be somewhat disappointed by the not-as-meaty stuff shown here. Adding to this flick's hokiness factor was a subpar makeup job on Robert "Freddy" Englund; the guy's "burn" didn't look nearly as realistic here as it did the first go-'round. It looks like they just threw some semi-jelled rubber cement compound on him, then tried to get around how silly it looked by filming him primarily in shadows or from behind. And don't get me started on those brownish-red contact lenses that try to make him look menacing for the close-up shots of his eyes... Bottom line: unless you're a 'Nightmare' completist, or you like to laugh at the slasher-horror genre's sillier attempts to scare ya-- which is something I like to do-- 'Nightmare 2' is a skipper.
