Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Review

Nightmare on Elm Street 2 came out in 1985 and was directed by the ever-goat-fucking Jack Sholder. We have used science (and possibly the box cover) to determine that this movie fits perfectly into the "Horror" genre.

During the time we had our polls open, 1 stumpy viewers just like you weighed in on Nightmare on Elm Street 2. 1 of 'em thought it was great! 0 thought it was shit. Takes all kinds.

This is a Dave and Jim's B-Movie Review. This review was written some time between 1996 and 2001. Once you've sucked the marrow from this one, you can head back to the full list to pick another review for savoring. Do it again and again.

Jim's Review

Well this is the beginning of the long slide downhill for the Elm Street series. The fine set of rules set in the first series take their first minor alterations in this movie. I would say this is the last Elm Street movie made where Freddy was still cool, after this he just becomes annoying. The only good thing to come from this movie is a dream scene with what Dave and I like to call the Hell Bus. The Hell Bus alone almost make this movie worth seeing. Otherwise just watch the first Nightmare on Elm Street movie and stop while you are ahead, this series just gets worse and worse as the idea behind the original Nightmare on Elm Street just gets more and more warped.

Jim broke it down like so: Technology: 2 Action: 4 Nudity: 2 Coolness: 7 Badguys: 5 Gore: 6 Shock: 6 Dialog: 5 Post-Nuke?: N Music: 5 Plot: 4 Length: Short Overall: 5
