This film essentially begins where its predecessor left off with "Alice" (Lisa Wilcox) having returned to a normal life now that "Freddy Krueger" (Robert Englund) has been killed. Yet even then she is highly traumatized by her experience in which she acted as the conduit for Freddy to appear and kill her friends. That being the case, she has now made new friends with one particular young man named "Dan" (Danny Hassel) with whom she has begun a romantic relationship with. Then one day while showering after a sexual encounter with him she has a dream where she has been thrown into a lunatic asylum wearing a nun's habit under the name of "Amanda Krueger" (played by Beatrice Boepple) who was the mother of Freddy. Not knowing what it means she relays her dream to her friends but they pass it off as post-traumatic stress and figure that things will work itself out with the passage of time. What she doesn't know is that she is pregnant and Freddy Krueger wants to emerge into the real world and is using her as the conduit to be born again. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had some good young actors--most notably Kelly Jo Minter (as "Yvonne"), Erika Anderson ("Greta"), Joe Seely ("Mark") along with the aforementioned Lisa Wilcox and Danny Hassel. Unfortunately, the lack of character development and a consistent theme caused the plot to seem too random at times which lessened the overall effect. Likewise, the lack of suspense, mystery or genuine horror didn't help in that regard either. Make no mistake-it had some good special effects. But other than a fresh cast that was about all it had and I have rated this film accordingly. Below average.
