A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is perhaps the least known of the entire Freddy franchise. What made this movie so inferior is that it really doesnt progress anywhere. If youve seen A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, youd know what Im talking about. Nonetheless, our story begins 5 years after
whatever in the world happened to Nancy & her father. A new family moves into Krugers humble abode, which is still armed with reinforced iron bars and a blue front door. Jesse (who, yes, is a guy) cant shake these strange reoccurring nightmares of a grotesque shadowy figure that scares you with a grimy claw on his right hand. In the waking world, his life isnt much better. Hes occasionally picked on at school and fights with his parents. His only solace is red-headed beauty named Lisa from down the street. Springwoods poor little rich girl also experiences problems of her own
pretty typical for any teenager. Freddy, however, has concocted a new planto commandeer Jesses body and use it to continue his bloody business in the waking world. This would make Jesse the prime suspect to his murders. From the inciteful writings enclosed in a dusty old diary (conveniently) left behind by Nancy, Jesse and Lisa try to work together to stop his madman before nobody is safe. This sequel wouldnt really be a collectors item if it didnt immediately follow the unforgettable installment starring Heather Langenkampwhom you will see again. Hold on to this one though, it might be worth a lot of money someday. I mean, it did top the box office sales of its predecessor.
