Five years later after that horrible incident at the Thompson's house, a new family known as the Walsh's moves in. A troubled son living in the house named Jesse Walsh (Mark Patton) is being tormented in his dreams by Freddy (Robert Englund). He always wakes up screaming and his family just thinks it's another nightmare.
However he finds alot of terrifying events at the house, it is becoming way too hot, Jesse's highschool friend Ron (Robert Russler) tells him about the mother and daughter who lived there before and the going's on that happened at the time.
While Jesse is cleaning his room with his girlfriend Lisa (Kim Myers) they find Nancy Thompson's diary and they both reads. While reading it, they discover the deadly secrets in their neighborhood on Elm Street which creeps out Jesse even more as he remembered what Jesse had told him about the former residents living there.
Freddy tells Jesse that he has plans for him to do his evil deeds and Jesse tries to avoid everyone before they end up being victims.

 

An exciting sequel but sadly nowhere near as scary or effective either but still enjoyable and very fun to watch.
It's nice to see a new family move into the house that is now over ruled by Krueger.
It's one of those top 80's horror films that flows in the same vein for the fans like Return of the Living Dead, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives and Trick Or Treat

The acting is enjoyable to watch as we have fresh young talent by many actors.
I would have to say that lead actor Mark Patton really stole the film with his performance as the troubled teen moving into the house and performs over the top with his frightened and troubled looks and his intense voice.
Actress Kim Myers is wonderful as the caring girlfriend bringing her role to life and it's no doubt she carried on with her career.
Supporting character actor Clu Gulager does well at playing the typical parent at a family house as his presence doesn't seem like any character I've seen him perform in.
Hope Lange is believeable as the nice, worried and caring mother.
We have a great performance by Marshall Bell as a sleazy and nasty coach as he shows great brutal behavior to his role and you know he'll get what's coming to him
Robert Englund
has more to do in this film as the killer Freddy Krueger and delivers his evil speech across very clearly.

Mark Patton's pants are pulled down and his butt is revealed.
Marshall Bell gets stripped naked and his butt is revealed and Patton's butt is revealed again taking a shower during this same scenario

Freddy tears the flesh off his head and his brain is revealed. (Nasty!!!!)
A nasty coach is cut by blades in a shower room.
Jesse's flesh starts to tear open as Krueger starts to peel out of his body
Freddy's blades stabs through a teens chest
Freddy bites Lisa's leg.
A teens face is slashed at a pool party
Another teen is bloodily stabbed in the stomach
Freddy's flesh starts to melt

Jack Sholder does a fine job but does not meet up to Craven's expectations by any means.
He shows a nice and effective opening of the school bus driving along the road and then entering Freddy's evil lair promising a nicely made sequel to the first film.
There is a nice brief dialogue scene between Englund and Patton as Englund's character tells Patton what he wants from him.
A real disturbing moment is when the two love birds are slaughtered and then it was great when Patton freaks out at his parents when he tells them what happened there before as I'd say that was greatly directed and will never be forgotten to anyone who saw this film.
The pool party was a good scenery. Plus there is a great battle with Englund's character there which looked intense iof him doing away with some of the teens at the party.
Sholder directed Englund and Kim Myers terrifically when she tries to battle him at her house and at his boiler room.
He shows great hallucinations at the boiler room like the monstrous dogs etc.

The music isn't so dark and creepy in this one but however Christopher Young has some intense violin playing and some low trumpter playing expecially in the opening of the film as it gives you an impression that this is definetely an Elm Street sequel.

We also have songtracks by 80's pop groups The Reds with "Terror in my Heart" when Mark Patton's character is cleaning up his room and then "Touch Me (All Night Long)" by WISH featuring Fonda Rae
Also at the pool party there's an old jazz tune playing performed by
Bobby O. and Claudja Barry with their tune "Whisper to a Scream" and then we have a closing credit song by Bing Crosby with "Did You Ever See A Dream Walking?"

Freddy Krueger: I need you, Jesse. We got special work to do here, you and me.
[Slams Jesse against the wall and gently tilts his head]
Freddy Krueger: You've got the body...
[takes off his hat and digs his fingers into his skull]
Freddy Krueger: I've got the brain.
[the skin is ripped open so badly Freddy's brain is exposed]
Jesse Walsh: AAAAAAAAH!
[Freddy laughs wildly]

[reading Nancy's old diary]
Lisa: Sometimes when I'm lying here in bed I can see Glen in his window across the way getting ready for bed. His body is slim and smooth, and I know I shouldn't watch him, but that part of me that wants him forces me to. That's when I weaken. That's when I want to go to him.
Jesse Walsh: Can I see that?

Freddy Krueger: Kill for me.

Freddy Krueger: Wake up, little girl.

Jesse Walsh: [Jessy is afraid and wants to sleep at Grady's house] Something is trying to get inside of me.
Ron Grady: Yeah it's female and it's waiting for you in the kabana, and you want to sleep with me.

Jesse Walsh: Oh, God. He's comin' back.

Freddy Krueger: [snickering from behind the desk after Jesse's transformation]
Lisa: Jesse?
Freddy Krueger: [Raking his claw on the top of the desk before standing up and nearing Lisa] He can't hear you, because I'm him.

Freddy Krueger: Help yourself, fucker.

Lisa: Jesse, help.
Freddy Krueger: There is no Jesse! I'm Jesse now!

Fred Krueger: You are all my children now!!!!.

Freddy Krueger (Cackles): Come to me Lisa!
