A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge

A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge

/</igspan style="FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #3366ff"/>/igWhen me and my cousin first watched this movie we were more amused then scared. This has to be one of the funniest Nightmare on Elm Street sequels. The movie starts out with the kids being drop off from school by the bus driver. If you look closely you can see that the bus driver is Robert Englund. Yes that's right kiddies, the same Robert Englund who plays Freddy in all of the Nightmare movies. The bus driver drops off the kids and starts driving away. In the back of the bus there's two preppy snotty girls and Jesse a lonely guy that no one hangs out with. The bus driver drives past the girl's stop so they call out "Bus driver that was my stop. Bus driver stop." Then he starts driving really fast like a crazy person and it shows Freddy's claw on the steering wheel. It shows the bus on top of a piece of earth that's been left from where the ground was coming apart. Freddy jumps up and walks towards Jesse and the girls then they start freaking out. If a crazy deformed looking person with a claw as a hand was walking towards me I would be freaking out too.

</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #3366ff">Jesse wakes up screaming dripping with sweat (yes it was all a dream. Got ya!) and in the kitchen Jesse little sister Angela ask her mom "Why does Jesse always wake up screaming, why can't he just wake up?" Well you see little Angela dear some guys wake up with a boner other guys wake up screaming. Just like some guys have wet dreams other have nightmares. Jesse and his family moved into the house of Nancy Thompson from the first Nightmare On Elm Street but they were unaware of what happened there before they moved into the house. Jesse gets to school where he See's the girl of his dreams Lisa Webber, uh Jesse honey she's way out of you're league sorry. The class is all out playing soft ball for gym and Jesse runs the bases that's when Jesse's frienemy Grady pants him and the whole gym class See's his ass, his very white ass. They get in a huge fight and the gym teacher breaks it up and makes them do push ups after class. Oh the gym teacher is also a major douchebag. They hit the showers which is where Grady starts telling Jesse about what happened in his house Jesse thinks he's full of it and ignores him then heads off home.

<span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #3366ff">Once he gets home he calls Lisa to see if she wanted to hang out but his dad wont let him go out until he cleans his room. What a party pooper! He starts to clean his room and turns on his music and puts on his stunner shades and starts to get his groove on. His mom walks in his room with Lisa then he gets embarrassed. Lisa helps Jesse cleans his room and she finds Nancy's old dairy in his closet. They begin to read it and they find out all the information on what really happened to Nancy and her friends and who Freddy is. Jesse starts having dreams about Freddy and him becoming Freddy. Lisa has a party at her house and Jesse shows up late so she walks up to him to ask him whats wrong cause he looks terrible since he's not getting very much sleep. They go into the pool room to have privacy and he tells her about the dreams he's having and how he's scared cause Freddy is out to get him. They start making out which leads to the dirty work and Jesse licks between Lisa's chest and suddenly his tongue turns into Freddy's tongue. Jesse freaks out runs to Grady's house. He asks him if he can spend the night cause he's terrified to go to sleep.

<span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #3366ff">Grady and Jesse falls asleep and we all know what happens when they fall asleep. He has a nightmare and turns into Freddy. He's freaking out yelling for Grady saying "He's inside me! Oh God I can feel him inside me!" hahahaha talk about gay innuendo! Jesse's chest splits open and Freddy pops out of his chest all bloody, so cool. Freddy kills Grady and heads for Lisa's party and starts going on a killing spree. After that Freddy runs to his boiler room and Lisa follows him and that's when Lisa tries to fight Freddy to get Jesse back which was a really cheesy scene. After everything is done it shows them in the bus driving off to school and the bus drivers starts driving fast so Jesse starts to freak out but Lisa calms him down letting him know everything is fine. And Lisa's friends says "Relax everything is fine, it's all over." but right when she starts to say all over Freddy's claw pops out of her stomach and everyone screams. All their facial expressions is pretty damn funny. I go back to watch it a few times cause it's really amusing.</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #3366ff">It's a very cheesy sequel but it definitely is a lot of laughs and it's not terrible but not great. I liked it and I thought it was funny, I was laughing through out the movie

<span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #3366ff">I give this movie 4 out of 5 Skulls</span></span></span></span>

Movie Review - A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge

I was all set to show some pretty sweet screenshots from A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. But me with my lack of Photoshop and only a Ctrl-Prnt Scrn and Paint technique, for some reason whenever I took the shot, it would go away when I took the DVD out. So go figure. They were awesome too.

What is this movie about? Think the first movie, only that Freddy needs to possess a human's body in order to attack people in the real world. There's a love interest and everything, almost like in the first one.

The movie does a pretty good job of keeping the same rules as the first movie. It's the exact same house, which is pretty cool, but one of the faults I found with it is that it has some things that are too similar to the first one. Finding the knives in the basemen - done before. A car that Freddy takes control of to terrorize - done before. Love interest that seems too good to be true - done before. People who fall asleep when you want them to stay awake - done before.

This movie is definitely not as creepy as the first one. It's more comical, especially the bird scene where it starts divebombing the family and then explodes in the air. Freddy has more lines, and I think that hinders from him being kind of mysterious and scary. Instead he's funny, and the scene where he feels like killing a bunch of kids at a party just makes me laugh.

The love story seems like a Saved by the Bell episode. At the end, love conquers all, and I swear I could see Kelly saying the exact same thing. And if I had Photoshop, you can bet I'd be splicing Freddy into a scene from Saved by the Bell.

OH! And how could I forget, the infamous dance/cleaning scene to the song Touch Me (All Night Long) by Angel City. (Yeah, I had to look that up.) It's a catchy tune, I must admit, but really it's a ridiculous, and highly laughable, scene. I had the picture of the dude butt-bumping his dresser drawer.

I think the best part of the movie is where Freddy comes out of our main characters body, and we see the whole transformation. At one point, you can definitely tell that it's rubber, but still, I think it's a pretty good special effect.

The only thing about this movie, while being pretty good, is that it's not that scary at all, and it really doesn't live up to the first one. Some cool and different things are tried in the movie, but really, it falls short of the other Nightmare.

PS: Oh and why does he need revenge on these teenage kids? I don't recall their parents doing anything to Freddy, but oh well. He doesn't need a reason.
