Die weit unter Wert verkaufte Fortsetzung zu Wes Cravens verehrtem Original bricht gleich mit mehreren Genreregeln. Die vielleicht wesentlichste: Statt eines Final Girls ist es hier der sensible, liebenswerte Jesse, der gegen den ikonischen Traumdämon Freddy Krueger antreten muss. Auch wenn Regisseur Jack Sholder es nicht mitbekommen haben will, ist die Geschichte von Freddy’s Revenge bloßes Trägermaterial für eine Parade aus schwulen Subtexten (Jesses Tanz zum Synthiepop-Hadern in seinem Zimmer! Die Lederbar! Spanking in der Dusche!), die diesen atmosphärisch dichten und bisweilen unheimlichen Horrorthriller zum queeren Klassiker machen.
