The "Kill Count" host, James A. Janisse, reviews the 1985 horror movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge". He discusses the movie's plot, which follows a young boy named Jesse who moves into the same house as the original movie's protagonist, Nancy Thompson, and is haunted by Freddy Krueger.
Freddy possesses Jesse's body, leading to a series of gruesome murders. The host notes the movie's campy tone, homoerotic subtext, and ridiculous plot twists. He also praises the film's kills, particularly the iconic scene where Freddy emerges from Jesse's body and kills his friend Grady.
The host tallies up the kills, noting that 10 people die in the movie, including 7 males and 3 females. He awards the "Golden Chainsaw" for coolest kill to the scene where Freddy kills a group of people at a pool party, and the "Lamest Kill" to a character who gets whipped into a grill.
The host concludes by thanking viewers for watching and promoting a company that sent him a replica of Freddy's glove.
