Revisiting Freddy Krugar
The horror sequel, Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), exists in a very different realm from many horror films of the 1980s, and even films within its own franchise. While the other films in the series play as rather straight forward slasher fare with mostly young girls running from the horribly burned knife-clawed, Freddy Kruger, NMII focuses on the relationship between Freddy and a teenage boy. Lush with a sometimes suffocating subtext surrounding the young scion’s sexuality, the film is written much more like a possession film in the vein of The Exorcist, or even the underrated The Entity. Like most horror films, possession films are typically lead by female protagonists, or Final Girls, that eventually outwit their tormentors. However NMII subverts these tropes and instead works much more like a response to dominant portrayals of masculinity and sexuality.
