From the Back Cover

Five years have passed since Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) was sent howling back to hell. But now, a new kid on Elm Street is being haunted every night by gruesome visions of the deadly dream stalker. And if his twisted soul takes possession of the boy's body, Freddy will return from the dead to wreak bloody murder and mayhem upon the entire town.

When A Nightmare on Elm Street made a killing, horror fans shrieked for more. Soon the diabolic Freddy was resurrected with a vengeance -- along with some of the most terrifying special effects ever to spatter the screen. Look for Robert Englund minus his Freddy face in the opening sequence. He's a real scream!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the series, by far November 8, 2004

By Tony

Format:DVD

Where's all this hatred coming from, why all the bashing? I personally think this is the of the bunch. I love the dream sequences, there very dark and disturbing. Freddie is still scary in this movie, the last time he would be in the series. I loved the whole storyline of this movie, Jesse finds the old diary of Nancy, the heroine from part 1, and dreams of a scarred, razor clawed monster that tries to take his body, and wants him to do all the dirty work. Sure the biker bar and s&m references were kind of odd, but they were effective. And of course, this one boosts the legendary "pool scene"

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but some parts didn't fit March 27, 2001

By A. Estes

Format:VHS Tape

Surprisingly enough, I liked this sequel to a much much better movie. You can't really take horror sequels too seriously, and this movie is proof of that. It definetly takes you on a different twist compared to Nancy's story in the original. Basically, a teenager and his family move into Nancy's house 5 years after the "incident" and weird things start to happen (Birds spontaneously combust) and of course the star of the movie starts having Freddy dreams. But in contrast to the original, Freddy starts to take over this boy's body, and well, I don't want to spoil it for you. It is a pretty well mapped out movie. There is tons of gore, even the kind that makes you cringe a little bit. Freddy kind of stays in the shadows and eventually pulls into real-life, which is the problem, he just starts to pop up in real-life without any explanation, kind of inane. Oh well. Still a good movie, I suggest you go to your local video store and rent it if you haven't seen it.

5.0 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN THE FIRST! September 9, 2003

By Blade

Format:DVD

I know that the original NOES was possibly the best to most people here. But the only reason for that, I believe, is because it's scarier and the blood and gore is A LOT! NOES2 sometimes lacks some of these things but who cares? It's still got the good ol' nightmarish atmosphere that all the others (including the first) have! Mark Patton did an excellent job with the role as Jessie, a new kid who moves to Elm Street with his family and stays at the exact same house that Nancy and her family used to live in during the gruesome bizzare incidents. Once again, Freddy is back! This time, he's using Jessie as a link in order to cross through his dreams and into the REAL world! From there, all hell breaks loose!! (especially at the pool party scene. That was the craziest!)The rest of the film may sometimes seem TOO mediocre, but it all comes together and picks up near the end! Robert Englund's second act as the disfigured psycho killer is 10x better than the first, and all the other actors did a good job too! :) My fav characters were both Jessie and Lisa, they really moved the film along nicely and should have recieved an award for their performances! So why not give it a second chance? It's really not as bad as SOME people say. SWEET DREAMS!
