This movie explains more of the reason why Freddy became what he has become, and adds some pretty neat special effects (the first death at the hands of the “Freddy puppet” is by far the coolest). Having said that, some of the effects near the end of the film are horrible (when Freddy’s bones “come alive”), and the movie never really terrifies you, more than anything, it grosses you out! Fun stuff if you’re sitting around the house on a dark Saturday night, looking for a flic to give you the heebie-jeebies.
