Nightmare on Elm Street II



Five years after Freddy Krueger's apparent defeat, the Walshes have moved into the Thompsons' former home. Their teenage son, Jesse, has a nightmare about being stalked by a killer driving a school bus. He wakes up and attributes the dream to the unusual heat in the room. Though soon he´ll find out it has nothing to do with it. 

Nightmare on Elm Street II is even more surreal than the first and takes the plot up a notch; instead of having Freddie kill all the teenagers while they sleep, he makes one of them kill them while he sleeps. Or awake... that´s where things get a bit confusing. Was Jesse asleep all the time? Most probably not, what it seems is that Freddie possesses him and this way he steps up to the "real world".




Plus points, the photography is pretty awesome and the ambient is more surreal (I keep using this word! Why!) than the first one which, in a way, kinda makes me like this one better. Please don´t hurt me.
Minus points, at some point, the movie kinda reminds of a crappy Amityville sequel and some scenes are just silly: a bird explodes for some reason, Jesse´s football coach is attacked by balls... Messy.

And the opening scene with the school bus, come on! Admit it, it´s awesome! Also, there´s nothing funnier than watching mindless teens get slaughtered at a pool party.
