Nightmare on elmstreet part 2 : Freddys revenge

Review

Good god this movie. So currently in the nightmare series I’ve watched one and four and now I’ve watched two. Just watch one and two, only go to the others if you want gore not nessisarily story. Maybe the third , I can’t speak for it as I haven’t seen it.

So this movie is actually pretty entertaining and it blends well from the second movie. Freddy goes after Jesse as he moved into Nancy’s old place. How’s Freddy mess with him you ask?

Heat like a lot for some reason

Birds that spontaneously combust

More fire

Now I can see why some people may not be much of a fan as it’s not technically the traditional slasher, there’s only one Kill until a bit past a hour into the movie. Then they rack up with Grady and then a bunch at the party I couldn’t count (I’d recommend watching the kill count video If you’d care about that). It’s much more  psychological, as much as I like gore, I like getting in someone’s head even more, I like how you can mess with someone’s mind. Creep out your audience just by how you play the music, work the camera.

Lore-

I like how, even if there is no charecters included from the first film it is still very connected and it builds the lore of the universe. Nancy’s diary and the little notes from that. Like her being cute about Glenn (I like him leave me alone). Also the detail on Freddy and the actual boiler room.... which we... never see I’m the ... actually .... see In the movie. For gods sake Lisa you go there and never make it into that room!

Lisa-

Hate her. Next question.

No but seriously she seams smart the first half and then just looses and goes stupid ™️ towards the end. She literally went out of her way to do digging only to not believe it when this kid comes in covered in fucking blood? for her to SECONDS LATER pull out the diary and explain it all like what was the point in her not believing for her to act like she did the whole time seconds later?

However , I will give her credit for her major scene with freddy at the power plant. The way her fears turn on and off again as she runs! She screams and freaks , she runs and seconds later composes herself and it’s gone again. It’s a cool concept to watch. I will give her that much

Gore-

Like the all movies in the series the gore is top tier and over the top fun. Oh my god I love the attention and the blood and the slime and everything. Seriously my love for practical effects and gore makeup is LIVING it’s really a art we gotta bring back or focus on more. There are still shitty cgi jumps are horror movies popping up even today.

The not subtle subtext-

I could write a entire essay on it and I will if asked. Holy shit. Love it love it love it. Now Honestly I think the concept is fantastic and I wish it could have been a bit more. It would have been interesting to watch Freddy fully utilize and play with it more. I think even Robert spoke about this, I agree with him tbh. Honestly they were also the most fun to watch in the whole film , as charecters alone. They can’t do push ups :) bitch me too

My Ranking of A Nightmare on Elmstreet films from worst(9) to best(1)

9- A Nightmare on Elmstreet(2010): I did not like this remake at all. The characters all sucked. It was way too dark and bloody...and Jackie Earl Haley did not do Freddy Kruger justice at all.

8- Wes Craven's A New Nightmare: I love Heather Lagenkamp and I thought this story was creative, but that kid was just so annoying it ruined the whole movie.

7- A Nightmare on Elmstreet 5 Dream Child: Again with the annoying kid and I felt like all the character development they had with Alice in part 4 was completely ruined in this film. I did however think the kills/dream sequences were better than most.

6- Freddy's Dead, the Final Nightmare: Characters sucked. Story sucked. The kills and celeb cameos are the only reason this ranks higher than the others

5- A Nightmare on Elmstreet 2 Freddy's revenge: I enjoyed the characters and the overall story, but some of the more ridiculous scenes really brought this one down. Also Freddy is hardly in the film

4- Freddy vs Jason: I ranked this one lower on my Friday the 13th list, stating I thought it was more of a Freddy film. I stand by that statement.

3- A Nightmare on Elmstreet 4 the Dream Master: I liked this movie and the characters. The kills were creative and I enjoyed seeing Alice grow as a person. I did however, miss Patricia Arquette as Kristin. Tuesday Knight does the character well, but she was a little more "bad ass" than Arquette's Kristen.

2- A Nightmare on Elmstreet 3 Dream Warriors: Most people list this one as their favorite and for me, its very close. I liked the characters, I liked the return of Heather Lagenkamp and John Saxon, Patricia Arquette is great in this movie. And "Welcome to prime time, bitch" is hands down one of, if not the best line in the series.

1- A Nightmare on Elmstreet(1984): The original film in this series is hands down the best for me. I love the characters, the setting, the dreams, the kills, the story itself...it's just a classic. Also Johnny Depp<3 Heather Lagenkamp is probably my favorite final girl of any horror/slasher film.

Top 13: Horror Movies Directed by Women

To keep up my Women in Horror Month promotions, I am proud to present to you, my top 13 picks for horror movies directed by women.

Spoiler Alert: The list is mostly spoiler free, but thematic content is sometimes discussed, so proceed with caution.

13. In My Skin (Originally titled Dans Ma Peau)

Directed by Marina de Van

While this may not be the best movie on the list, it’s one of the best examples of effective body horror. This title doesn’t flinch away from the gore and it shows off those amazing, French special effects artists at their finest.

12. Jennifer’s Body

Directed by Karyn Kusama

Alright, so this wasn’t one of my personal favorites, but I can see why it did as well as it did. The effects were decent, the directing was great, and at least all of the overtly sexual scenes made sense with story. For all of this film’s shortcomings, I have to admit that it was pretty entertaining.

11. Slumber Party Massacre

Directed by Amy Jones

If you like older slasher titles, than this is the film for you. It’s gory, it’s a little over the top, and it’s just a ton of fun to watch.

10 The Hitchhiker

Directed by Ida Lupino

This movie actually has a non-horror reputation as it’s generally considered one of the only film noir movies directed by a woman. It might be a little outside of the horror genre on a technical level, but it’s a fantastic film and it makes the most of it’s atmosphere to build excellent tension throughout.

9. Pet Sematary

Directed by Mary Lambert

Pet Sematary is a title that I’m sure a lot of Stephen King fans remember. While it’s not the best film adaptation of his work, it was a decent horror movie for its time and contained a lot of haunting imagery that I can still remember to this day.

8. Silent House

Directed by Laura Lau

This is a great example of a director getting good performances from their actors that tie into a very story-based sense of terror. While Silent House wasn’t the most memorable selection on the list, it was a gripping and enjoyable experience.

7. Office Killer

Directed by Cindy Sherman

This is a surprisingly underrated movie. It was directed by a photographer who drew a lot of inspirations from her previous work to create this visually striking light horror film, alongside some big name actresses including Carol Kane.

6. Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare

Directed by Rachel Talalay

This was the sixth installation of Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elmstreet franchise, and a lot of people were not impressed. That being said, a lot of people already weren’t impressed going into the film, feeling that the series had long since run its course.

Despite some general complaints about writing and some questionable 3D effects, I feel like this might have been one of the most underrated installations of the franchise. While all of the others had tried to cash in on a brilliant concept this movie took a step back to look at how Freddy got to be where he was, and in the grand scheme of things, I think it paid off.

I’ll admit it has been too long since I’ve had a Nightmare on Elmstreet marathon, but this is one of the titles that I remember most fondly!

5. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night

Directed by Ana Lily Amirpour

If you haven’t seen this film (and you like vampire movies) I suggest you give it a watch. Even if you don’t like vampire movies, this is a very visually appealing film, and one of the strongest additions to the subgenre.

4. American Psycho

Directed by Mary Harron

This is a disturbing tale with excellent performances and spot-on directing. It’s suspenseful, twisted, and objectively a fantastic film.

3. Carrie (2013)

Directed by Kimberly Pierce

I know, I know.

Here I am with another controversial opinion about a Stephen King film that nobody else liked, but hear me out.

While there were issues with 2013 remake of Carrie, there were also a lot of really fantastic elements as well. There was an exceptional cast giving great performances, it brought King’s coming of age story seamlessly into a contemporary setting, and more than anything it captured the title character’s feeling of isolation and betrayal.

The movie itself may not have been the most iconic adaptation of the story, but I would argue that the audiences empathized more with this version of Carrie, as they’re really able to see her struggles as an adolescent girl. And that, that is something that only could have been captured by such an excellent director who has the female insight into those sorts of problems.

It was a great a call having a woman direct the project, and she did a wonderful job with the essence of what this story was supposed to be.

2. The Babadook

Directed by Jennifer Kent

This is not the first time I’ve talked about this movie on here, you may recall that I addressed it briefly for Pride Month after the internet declared the titular monster the new LGBTQ+ icon.

I also did a review where I talked about the film’s representation of depression, which could not have been pulled off more effectively than it was under this wonderful director.

It’s a great story with lots of layers, a gorgeous film, and I really can’t say enough kind things about it.

1. American Mary

Directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska

This is another film that I’ve talked about on here before, and I’ll admit that I may be a little biased as it’s one of my personal favorite movies of all time.

That being said, I feel like the Twisted Twins did something really fantastic here.

There are so many horror movies about women who are raped and return seeking revenge, but American Mary takes that to a very real, very gritty place and the fact that it was directed by two female horror icons (who make a cameo appearance in the film) really added something to the character in my opinion. Mary wasn’t under the effect of dark magic, she hadn’t been told to get even, she was just a person who had been hurt doing what she felt she had to do. I’ve never empathized quite this much with someone doing terrible things.

The disturbing story, excellent performances, kick ass directing and of course haunting cinematography made American Mary an obvious selection for my number one pick.

Nightmare on Elm Street: The Gay One

A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge I actually never saw this one. If you’ve heard people talk about it, or if you watched the documentary, Never Sleep Again, you can’t help but look for all the gay under tones, and if you’re looking for gay undertones, by golly, this movie has a LOT of them. This movie is also full of weird shit in general. Jessie sweats like he sleeps in a swimming pool, there’s Fu Manchu cereal, no one in this movie can do a push up, there are a couple of examples of the corny teenage dialogue that infect so much of the 80′s, and there’s a family that gets their ass kicked by an exploding parakeet. Elm Street 2 is a weird film, but it is top 5 for the franchise for me. 1. Elm Street 2. New Nightmare 3. Elm Street 2 4. Dream Warriors 5. Dream Master Yeah, that is a bit high, number 3 of all time for me. Why so? I think Freddy is creepier here. I think his physical appearance is creepier here. I think the way he is transforming or birthing himself into reality is creepier here, than a lot of the stuff he does in Dream Warrior.  I think the climax is more exciting. I liked a lot about Dream Warrior but there were aspects of the conceit that was executed in a way that wasn’t particularly exciting. Overall, I do think Dream Warrior is the more consistent film, but the time we spend with legitimately scary Freddy in the franchise feels minor, and I ate it up here. Elm Street 2 is an hour a twenty-five minutes long, twenty-two minus credits. The first thirty minutes packs in a lot, so much so that I kind of expected more time to have passed. The last thirty-five minutes is such fun. There are just a few middling things in the middle, but overall the movie is paced well and glues you to the screen from the first scene, which simply isn’t something you see in horror movies anymore. A scene like that is rare in this blumhouse era of horror. The practical effects show their age a little, but just a little. It’s still superior to a lot of indie horror films today, and the movie has a lot of the really interesting imagery the franchise is known for. It’s cool to me, after all this time, seeing how they chose to be creative before they started using Dream Warriors as a template for the franchise. While the events, effects, and Freddy himself are all very awesome, the film has its issues. Again, that awkward 80′s dialogue, which is matched with mediocre 80′s situations, and mediocre 80′s acting that can’t quite sell the dialogue. I will say that protagonist Jesse Walsh, played by Mark Patton, does have his moments. He can sell facial expression very well in moments where the dialogue fails him. He has the most uninterested kissing scenes I have ever...seen. Really. His kisses make it seem like he legitimately thinks he’s about to make out with a cactus. So much of the film, I’d say 2/5ths, feels like an bad 80′s sitcom that the Freddy kind of infiltrates and twists into a horror film. I will also say, that I found it interesting that there’s still comedy, some of which actually works, but it’s caused by regular people living their lives as opposed to Freddy saying absurd shit. I don’t hate the sillier Freddy, but as far as saying and screaming absurd shit, Chucky has him beat, imo. Elmstreet 2 is worth watching. If you’re an Elm Street fan, it’s worth owning. Elm Street as a series, while there is a tonal change, I DO think is pretty consistent. More so than Friday the 13th, and DEFINITELY more so that Halloween. Man, I’m going to have to watch that remake at some point. That’s what’s really scary.
