Gay! As in it’s lame and also kinda homo erotic. Although it’s a weaker entry in the franchise there’s still a lot of great stuff in this movie. Like all horror fans I’ve heard talk about this movie, I never saw it as being gay at all, it’s just very “80’s.” If you saw the first one and are wanting more Elm St. but don’t necessarily want to go through the whole franchise you can skip this one and go straight to part 3, which holds better continuity with the first film anyway.
