    basically, freddy kills a bunch of folks and collects their souls...however, the skills of his victims (like intelligence, athleticism, and karate) transfer over to a young girl who fights mr. krueger.

    It was alright, you might be a little confused if you don't remember the 3rd movie, but it wasn't a fantastic horror movie

    Eh, except for the way they bring back Freddie, this one could have just as soon been left out of the canon.

    Resurrected by dog piss... Freddy's back...and goofier than ever. The great special effects do stand out and Lisa Wilcox isn't a bad replacement for Nancy.

    I really liked this sequel, surprisingly. I think it got really awful after this one, though. I'd give it five stars, but I hated the idea of Freddy being on the beach..normally he's in a dark alley..late at night. I think the idea that Alice obtained each character's power is very cool.

    Another good one by this point Freddy has completely become a wise cracking jerk that kills you in the most ironic ways possible, after the groundwork had been laid for it in parts 1 and much more so part 3.

    Inferior to 3, which coincidentally was the best sequel in the franchise. Nonetheless its a very entertaining film, filled with some creative kills by Freddy. Solid sequel. Much better than the majority of the crap in this franchise.

    When I saw this film back in the 90s I thought it was a great character study with good camerawork by Renny Harlin and nice references to Alice in Wonderland. Now the movie just makes me realize how much I've grown up, which is a relief, since I don't have much evidence for that.

    yea, this is where the fun starts dropping. Though the Kristen/Alice combo is nice, it cant save an otherwise late-80's bad dialog trip. Oh and his return? explosive dog piss? yikes.
    Alice getting all 'warrior-ish" at the end is campy, but a little fun if you just take in stride.
    Brooke Theiss kept the "just the Ten Of Us" streak going as she became the second after Heather to be in a Freddy movie from that show.
    NOTE: again the writer curse, the writer for this movie went on to do NO MORE movies and was his sole work.
    Renny Harlin did direct however. You could tell from the action sequences and explosions.

    this movie holds the best dream in histroy(thats my opinion) when a stoner gets drug in to the tv and is part of a video game, freddy also states on of the most meorable horror lines of all time "every towns got an elm street!" a magnificent movie, also Freddy uses a power glove! its so bad!

    A new beginning and direction, Freddy Krueger now have an adversary ? one name Kirsten. Renny Harlin takes over and directs yet another successful 3rd sequel. We get to see a hint of the origin of Freddy and how he came about and what makes him evil before he became the scarred figure we know him as Krueger.

    Once again, teenagers are dying in dreams. When one of Kirsten friend?s (played by Lisa Wilcox) dies, she embarks on a mission to destroy the boogeyman herself. Gifted in telepathy, she will have to fight her way through dreams to stop Krueger for good.

    It?s another Krueger versus kids fight to the end, only this time his adversary is stronger and harder to defeat. You will enjoy the special effects, the surprisingly origin plot of Krueger and deeper understanding of why this franchise is so popular among horror enthusiast. Get ready for another Krueger favorite you will enjoy.

    "Well it's OK but it could have been better, they can't find a way of destroying Freddy and this plot definitely was childish and out the fear and horror of the series. 65/100"

    Still better than part 2, but all in all, just another unnecessary victim of the dreaded "sequel rule."

    Nightmare On Elm Street is one franchise that has some really terrible installments, and this movie is no exception. Besides the effects and Freddy Krueger, this movie offers nothing unique.
