There are a whole bunch of reasons to love this sequel to one of the most iconic horrors of all time.
From the get go, it deserves respect for trying something different. It doesn't just rinse and repeat the events of the original, with the whole possession plot being an inspired direction to take.
Mark Patton as lead character Jesse is an absolute riot to watch. He will go from suave ladies man, to high pitched screaming and sweaty scream queen in an instant. The homo-erotic undertones are hilariously brilliant, and make for a breath of fresh air in a genre, from an era, that was usually awash in a sea of boobs.
The supporting characters are all pretty likable as well, giving the audience an entertaining cast to watch when the big bad isn't on screen. Talking of which, Robert Englund's Freddy Krueger is pretty damn intimidating in this one, and is the subject of some all timer shots for the franchise.
The practical effects, especially in Jesse's transformation scene are quite something as well.

All in all, Freddy's Revenge is an over the top and enjoyable sequel and deserves more love than it gets!

Round 2
Jesse Walsh's family has moved into Nancy Thompson's old house and Freddy (Eglund) wants to use him to get ot others kids in the town. Freddy is back and wants to kill more kids while they sleep.

Not bad for a slasher movie. First movie good story this one eh but, still fun.
