    Not as tense a film as it?s prequel, but a bit of a different storyline in that the take on this one is Possession.

    An average watch.

    Not a bad idea for a sequel but poorly executed! (No pun intended)

    Doesn't live up to the first film, but has it's moments.

    own it but have not watched it yet I think. But the majority of the first couple of these were pretty boring not scary like I remembered.

    I must say that this is a formidable sequel (now remember I'm watching these in order and have only seen 1 and 2 thus far). The concept in this film is similar to the first: Freddy uses whatever teenager occupies his house to link himself to more people, and thusly more victims. ...( read more)In this entry, instead of saving his central kid for last kill, he uses the kid to manifest himself in the real world temporarily. The acting is annoying (with the exception of Clu Gulager) and the two main characters do not get my sympathy, but that's fine because the effects and FX concepts in this one are just as cool as the firts movie. Freddy's makeup has gotten even better (no lighting tricks needed now - it looks like real flesh in a closeup). I was disappointed that this movie didn't show the grotesque "crime scenes" after Freddy has killed, which are highly memorable moments in the first movie. I like the bookend aspect of the script - the bus scene - and Freddy's new tactic. Some of the scenes are incredibly well directed and co-ordinated: when the coach is attacked by a roomfull of balls and sports equipment and the great pool party sequence. I wish there were more scenes of the sprite Freddy running about scaring people shitless as he does at the pool party, but his 'quickness' is not a signature feature of his in this one. Also I didn't experience a single "gotcha" scare. All in all, a good entry because Freddy is fantastic in this one, but the kills are less creative. These are more "knives in the chest" than elaborate dream kills, which the movie deceptively begins with. Still, Freddy looks great and the scene where he pops out of the main kid is just unbeatable.

    Was this film endorsed by Nike and Adidas? Because it seems almost every scene, Jesse is wearing something from either brand. Anyhow, it was a good sequel even though the characters from the previous movie were not involved in this film and were only mentioned. But I liked the id...( read more)ea of Freddy using Jesse as a host body to kill for him. Some great effects for it's time and overall, it was a pretty good film!

    There's not much to say about this except it's a poor sequel with an awful storyline and crappy special effects. Avoid!

    It did have a couple of cheesy moments, but what 80s movies dont have them. I thought as far as sequels go, it was pretty good.

    geeze... how many of these did they have.. don't viewers get bored of the same sorry script.. with a few alterations here and there

    I actually thought this was a better story than the first, but It's not the better movie. The Jesse character was such a better protagonist than Nancy. The acting is just as good as the first. The movie's biggest flaw is in the mediocre directing and lack of style.
