A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - January 5, 1986

I do not share the implied opinions given by Janet Maslin, of The New York Times, or Joel Siegel, of ABC TV, stating that Freddy's Revenge was "scary" and "as much fun as the original." One must always keep in mind that a sarcastic comment could have been clipped from a less than glowing review and made to appear as if the film were being praised. 

While I did think Freddy's Revenge an entertaining enough movie, at no point during its runtime was I ever scared or unsettled by it. But I did find the film's in no way whatsoever subtle gay commentary to be equal parts amusing and interesting. 

Perhaps I should revisit this movie...

Also, I love Christopher Young's score for the film, but that is a subject for a soundtrack collection post.
