Almost every film franchise has at least one poorly received installment, but there is nothing as eternal as the first sequel to the series, demarcating the moment when many fans felt disappointed or worse. For Franchise "Nightmare on Elm Street"That installment is the first sequel, "ELM 2 Nightmare: Freddie's Revenge", which always had to have a tough battle in the best cases after the original Wes Craven in 1984. Craven's film brought the logic of dreams under the influence of Europe and (literal) nightmare of the movie "Sunter", and thus began its trend in the form of the film "Rubber Reality" as well as imitators. The success of the movie in the box office meant the sequel was inevitable, but the film still had problems with his conception: Craven did not want to come back, the early ideas for the script were put and abandoned, and at one point, The new cinema studio was not even sure they would return Robert Englund as Freddie Krueger.

Obviously, the colder heads prevailed at that point, but it is a good indication of how all the "Revenge of Freddy" was from the street "Jump". During a recent exclusive interview with director Jackec Sholler ahead of the announcement of the full set "Nightmare" franchise 4K Blu-Ray Box, the director admitted that New Line's motivation in making the sequel was that "they just wanted to get a script that was called" Nekemari. " Even to play Robert Enlund. When the Holler's film was finally released, written by David Jaskin, his reception was very mixed, and just diminished as the franchise continued with greater success creatively, financially and culturally. Even the early discussions of the movie as a movie with a secret fag did not rethink it at the beginning. In the end, however, "Freddie's Revenge" found his audience and thanks to these newlywed fans that Holler has now fully accepted the divided sequel.

It is important to remember that in the 1980s sequels as a more partial affair, and although numerous films began to leave room for a possible future film, none of them were yet made with a concrete idea for another installment. With "ELM Nightmare", the Cinene new line cinema was trying to leave a certain room at the end of the sequel film, so the playing field was widely open to Freddie's "Revenge" at the creative level. As Holler recalls, the pressure for the sequel comes from himself more than anyone else:

"There was never pressure for me to make a movie that would be a hit. There was pressure for me, self-driving from me, just to make a good movie. And the only thing they said was" Keep Freddie scary, darken it, darken it ... and lighting and metaphorically. " I didn't feel limited at all.

Freddie's "Revenge" is ambitious in its turning away from the Oreubo of Craven's film to watch which other capabilities and concepts can be resolved by the image of Freddie Krueger. Also, there is no doubt that, although the cinematographer Quesaak Haitin filmed this sequel and the original "Nightmare", the films have a uniquely different visual language. However, even then, the sequels were generally understood that they were in line with the formula of the original film, and the only criticism of "Freddie's revenge" that Holler holds to day -Today it is that is that is it The interruption of his sequel to the formula "Elm Street" set aside a little bit:

"If you look at it in the context of it, you say" Well, this is not appropriate because they have broken the rule, "he Freddy goes out into the real world. Freddie didn't do it. Because if Freddie did it, then we wouldn't have a" nightmare on Elm Street "because he did not have to sleep. So that idea is a kind of dead end.

As the Kwir's film's post -versatile film was spotted, Chaskin denied the themes being deliberate, accusing instead of Starvala Mark Patton, who was a closed gay man at the time of filming. Thanks to "Never Sleep: ELM Street Heritage" And Patton's 2019 Documentary "Creek, Queen! My nightmare on Elm Street", the truth is clarified, with Jaskin acknowledging that the themes were intentional by his side. As for Sholfer's knowledge on these topics, he remained heavily unaware until he joined Patton at the convention that celebrates the 30th anniversary of the film a decade ago. It helped round the film after a few years essentially ignoring the conversation, as he explained:

"I really have followed anybody's thinking, i really did not care what anybody thought about the Film. Think specializing in 'Elm Street,' and they get some good comments. And (these women) said, "If you look at it, you will not enjoy it. And they were the first people to say that.

As it happens, it was the Survey of the new 4K Remaster of the film that allowed him to accept Freddie's "Revenge" more fully:

"When I was out in La, he oversaw this restoration to 4K, especially with this new Dolby Atmosphere track, I said" it's a really good movie. " Really is.

Although Holler believes he would "probably say that "Hidden" was my best movie"He is now approaching accepting his Heritage" Elm Street ". Bee is in my smooth. The first line of my unclean will say that I was directing "a nightmare on Elm 2 Street", but I thought I did a really good job. "
