Ratings and reviews

Now this one here is the WORST installment of the ENTIRE Nightmare on elm street franchise. The plot was stupid, the kills were lame, only 3 people died, and everything else was ridiculous. Horrible sequel even Part 6 is better than this one. I wouldn't recommend. Very disappointing sequel.

Eh. I didn't know how I felt about this one. Considering how weird it is and is confusing. Watch it if you wish but it's not a good sequel. I felt it could've been better. However 1-4 was great.

The plot was pretty good and had great potential, but it seemed too rushed. I liked the gothic scenery and learning Amanda Kruger's background and Freddy's birth.
