The man of your dreams is back for revenge! When a new family moves to town, Freddy Krueger turns their teen son’s fantasies into torment, trying to possess his toned body in order to bring his nightmarish savagery to the real world. Packed with homoerotic subtext, bedroom bops, imaginative effects sequences, and a scene featuring Clu Gulager battling a combustible pet bird, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 flips many of the franchise’s conventions, while remaining a fun, crowd-pleasing follow-up to the Wes Craven classic.
