Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1473 movies items)

" Freddy’s back! For revenge! A new family moves into the house on Elm Street, and before long, the kids are again having nightmares about deceased child murderer Freddy Krueger. This time, Freddy attempts to possess a teenage boy to cause havoc in the real world, and can only be overcome if the boy's sweetheart can master her fear.

This revenge is more damp than it is terrifying

“The original 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' is still to me one of the scariest and best horror films there is, as well as a truly great film in its own right and introduced us to one of the genre's most iconic villains in Freddy Krueger. It is always difficult to do a sequel that lives up to a film as good as 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' let alone one to be on the same level.

'A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge' is not to me the dreadful film as reputed, but, while its attempts to do something different is admirable, it should have been much better than it turned out to be. It is very difficult to not feel disappointed when you inevitably compare 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' to its first sequel and find that the drop in quality is so significant and hard to ignore.

I think it's time I talked about the second movie Freddy's Revenge. In the franchise in general this one is often dubbed the 'homoerotic' Elm Street movie because of the supposed subtext which probably wasn't intentional, but the lead actor is gay in real life so maybe it was...I don't know, originally they didn't want Robert Englund back as Freddy and were considering getting someone else but they brought Robert Englund back and he reprised the r” read more

Movies That I Changed My Mind About (51 movies items)

"A change in tone, Freddy Krueger being a bit out of place, and the fact that seemingly since everyone else hated the film, I felt like I was obliged to also hate it too. But now, it’s one of my favourite films, in the series!"

Kakkososaa kohtaan ei kovin lämpöisät muistikuvat ollut, vaikka useammankin kerran saksitulta VHS:ltä katsottu onkin, mutta uusinnalle kiinnostus kuitenkin vähintään samalla tasolla, kuin edeltäjänsä osalta. Kolmosesta viitoseen ovatkin tyystin näkemättä, joten niitä kohtaan on vähän ujompi ja väistämättä erilainen mielenkiinto. Rohkean ja kekseliään Heather Langenkampin sijasta kakkososa tarjoaa scream queen- Mark Pattonin aika vahvasti ho"
