perhaps a more apt subtitle would be "freddy becomes an obvious metaphor for aids", in what is basically a retread of the first film (girl discovers freddy, attempts to stop him killing her friends). one thing i will say, is that at least the camerawork is improving, with uber-hack renny harlin behind the camera. i also like the way that 80's fad aplenty, karate is shoehorned in, in as offensive and patronising a manner as i would expect. what i find most inexplicable about these films, is that despite the evidence proving otherwise, the authorities do nothing to at least attempt to control what is happening on and around elm street, despite the years and years of trouble.
to be fair to it, the last thirty minutes or so, in where one girl is transformed into a cockroach, much in the same manner as cronenbergs "the fly", and where the first genuinely disturbing death of freddy takes place are the highlight of thseries so far.
