“A teenage boy is haunted in his dreams by deceased child murderer Freddy Krueger, who is out to possess him in order to continue his reign of terror in the real world.”

How… why… this sequel tells me that there is nothing someone won’t do with brand recognition. While this may be a sequel, it strayed far from what all the other movies in the series are about.

The major problem I have is that they are trying to pull Freddy from the dream world. There’s only one kid that is having the nightmares. The whole point of Freddy’s power is in dreams!

Yes, there is massive homosexual subtext and this movies gets a lot of flack for it. But it’s not even in my top ten things to consider about this movie.

SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT

I’m not even sure there are any spoilers. Because this movie just strays sooooooo off the path.
