A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

A family moves to a house where macabre events took place. Jesse, the teenage son, has horrible nightmares with a monstrous murderer named Fred. Fred wants to use Jesse to commit murder. Lisa, who loves Jesse, tries to help him.

There's very little here in the way of excitement. The Wikipedia page of the film is actually more interesting than the film itself, what with all discussions about 'subtext' and the like. But the film, for all its lack of novel ideas, is fairly well directed, and may be viewed as a document of 1980s aesthetics and way of life.

Rating: 30
