Well pretty much from the start you can see how much of an improvement this is over part one of The Nightmare Ends on Halloween, the costumes and masks look a lot better, the camera work is clearer, it moves faster and the action is better staged, the lighting, all of it, you can see how much Chris Notarile had improved his basic skills as a director in the intervening years before he made this short. It picks up right where the first part ended, with the scheming Freddy Kruegar being condemned to eternal damnation by the king of hell Pinhead for attempting to escape the netherworld a second time and being sentenced to fight for his unnatural life against the chainsaw-wielding hillbilly maniac Leatherface, the dark and deadly stalker of Halloween Michael Myers, and the undying and unstoppable might of his old foe, the slaughterer of Camp Crystal Lake, Jason Voorhies, one after another, and finding himself transported to each of their respective hunting grounds as he does so. And after surviving each trial by combat through his own grim determination and sheer viciousness, the nightmare slasher of Elm Street comes up against the death-dealing torture judge lord of the Cenobites himself, who, rather than engaging in any form of combat, simply takes away all of Freddy's supernatural abilities, rendering him a mere man once again, who is helplessly strung up as his bloodthirsty cohorts close in for the kill... Has the suddenly mortal Freddy met his final doom at last? Well we'll probably never get to know because Notarile has yet to make a third part! It's all good though, perhaps the numerous short films about Freddy that Notarile has made since could be seen as serving as a continuation of sorts.. Most of the fan made short films like this are often just horribly stiff and awkward, but like every short directed by Notarile that I've seen he's the exception to the rule and this works and is very entertaining. The guy that played Freddy in the first part was fine to me, but the actor in this, Robert Lombardi, did a fantastic job and he embodied a lot of the looks and attitude of Robert Englund. Even his voice was great, I loved all of Freddy's dialogue, it really seemed like stuff that Freddy would actually say I thought. And the 'point' is that if you're a fan of the movies these characters come from then it's just a lot of fun see them share the screen as it were. Great short, it's action packed it never stops moving and it ends on a hell of a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more, fun watch. Please make one more someday Chris!! X

I Really Really Love this Movie. You Can't Say Much for a short film though it was a pretty good watch. For a fan-made film it's pretty amazing. And Literally Feels Like I'm Watching a real Movie.And the Acting is Beyond Impressive. So it is One Amazing Masterpiece And Definitely Worth watching,Now It's One of the Best Monster Mashes I Have Ever Seen. I Just can't Do it Justice it's So Good For a Film. I Just wish it was a little Longer. It's a short film though if it was a longer film i could appreciate it a little more.Though nonetheless It's One Great Film. And This Freddy is pretty much identical to Robert England So Overall. If you're a fan of Jason,Leather Face,Freddy,Michael Myers, Or Pinhead Watch it.

Picking up directly where the first one left off, Chris R. Notarile's eagerly awaited sequel to his much admired original horror short gets right down to stirring brass tacks and delivers exactly what it promises with Freddy Krueger facing off against his formidable peers Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and Leatherface in a battle for his very soul. Notarile stages the wall-to-wall fast'n'furious fight set pieces with his trademark lean'n'mean skill and brio; it's a total treat to see these major horror icons vigorously mix it up in an extremely brutal no-holds-barred manner (for example, Freddy kicks Leatherface right where it hurts most). Roberto Lombardi portrays Freddy with a burning rage and vitality that's impressive and entertaining in equal measure. Of course, Freddy gets to spit out a few choice terse one-liners amid all the fierce butt-stomping (all-time favorite line; Krueger to Jason: "They should have drowned you at birth!"). Hector De La Rosa as Jason, Josh Rothman as Michael Myers, Anthony Palmisano as Leatherface, and Kevin Lennon as Pinhead (the latter is voiced by Notarile with appropriate deep and sinister relish) are all likewise sturdy in their roles. Kudos are also in order for Notarile's polished cinematography and snappy editing as well as the cool rocking soundtrack. But it's ultimately the sheer go-for-it verve of the whole enterprise that makes it such a blast to watch. Highly recommended.
