The director claims he didn't know. How?
Will SloanJan 18, 2013This is one of the most vile and subversive attacks on and condemnations of homosexuality. Jesse is a boy doubting his own sexuality. He has a budding relationship with a lovely girl and a love/hate relationship with a popular guy. Once he starts doubting where his…

this movie has a lot of gay subtext which is honestly something i commend it for since this isn’t only a horror movie, but was made in a time where being gay wasn’t as accepted as it is today. i really enjoy the elm street series as well so ofc i enjoyed it.
Sabrina Bondi dislikedA Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's RevengeThe sequel is clunky, sluggish, poorly cast, not funny, and worst of all, not scary. And it all but dispenses with what made the first film scary to begin with.
Finn likedA Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's RevengeI’m sorry but I love this film, maybe because of the fact that it is now considered a LGBTQ+ film because honestly I really enjoyed this film.

SO BAD
Horror Movie Lover dislikedA Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's RevengeAs a kid, I despised A nightmare on Elm Street because it was so scary and gory (but now I realize that’s what makes it an amazing horror movie). Going into the second one I expected a lot more than what I got. They completely went away from what they built up in the first movie.

When A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) first struck theaters, it redefined horror through Wes Craven’s unique blend of psychological terror and supernatural logic. As both writer and director, Craven constructed a world where dreams became the ultimate vulnerability — a realm that blurred the line…
Cory Nunez likedA Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revengethis one was very close to being as good as the first! I like the idea of someone being taken over by Freddy and used to kill. the final takeover scene was really good! felt like he had a completely different skill set, which I like to expand his “powers”, but he also felt OP for only his second…
Pax likedA Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's RevengeIt was alright. I don’t think I disliked it enough to be “meh” but honestly seemed lackluster and rushed. Main character was pretty great though and if the whole him being a closeted gay story line is real I think they pulled it off nicely. (I think) that was just a rumor though.

Metacritic
This hastily-produced sequel ignores the dreamstalking premise that had made A Nightmare on Elm Street successful and reverts to the overfamiliar possession story.
Kim Newman
Empire
As stomach-turning as might be expected, but it has a lot going for it: clever special effects, a good leading performance and a villain so chatty he practically makes this a human-interest story.
