jonathan Oct 16, 2025 Favorite elm street movie. Was a total shock to see it was going to be back in theaters See more Shadow R @GeminiShadowRealm 2 days ago I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the original, but it still had some creepy moments and entertaining kills. Instead of following Nancy, the story focuses on Jesse, who moves into her old house and starts having nightmares about Freddy Krueger. I liked the idea of Freddy trying to take over Jesse’s body, but the plot felt a little more confusing and didn’t have the same impact as the first movie. The practical effects were fun, and Freddy going after everyone at the pool party was a memorable sequence. I also found Jesse’s relationship with his parents frustrating, especially how quickly they assumed he was losing his mind. The ending was a bit strange, particularly Lisa kissing Freddy to bring Jesse back. Overall, it’s an interesting sequel with some entertaining horror moments, but it doesn’t quite live up to the original.

I absolutely loved this film, felt more unique than the first. See more Benjamin W @Code70 Oct 4, 2026 Don’t even really know what this is. It’s been said that this is an exploration of repressed sexuality, but if that’s the case, I don’t think it was a very good exploration, and I don’t care for such explorations anyways, typically. But even beyond that, it’s just kind of boring. It’s not nearly scary enough, nor is there quite enough of Freddy Krueger. I found the use of him here rather underwhelming. And also, for the most part, the acting’s pretty bad, and it’s not very funny when it wants to be. Yeah, this was just kind of a bizarre sequel to the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Not scary enough, the subtext isn’t interesting nor explored interestingly, it’s not very focused, and the acting’s bad. Bit of a dud, if you ask me. Didn’t get this one. See more Read all reviews
