Freddy´s Revenge
21 June 2003 | by (Iceland) – See all my reviews

This film is very underrated and I just can´t stand it when people are bashing it. It has its own style, mood and direction, the music score is different but the film stays true to the original story and works really well. The special effects are also good, it is scary and a good plot. This film is however not as good as the first one but is in my humble opinion the second best Nightmare On Elm Street film and has been overlooked by many who believe the third picture ( which is just special effects and nothing else to be a lot better). The second may perhaps distract some people because it is a bit cheesy but overall a good sequal that has yet to be discovered and taken for what it is not what it isn´t. 7/10.
