Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street

Fascinating film... Very, very interesting stuff.

Perhaps the slickly made documentary overstates the cultural impact of a little-seen and widely disliked film. However, it earns points for scraping at the surface of something rarely discussed in film fandom - homosexuality in horror.

There are interviews with academics and drag queens and fans of the horror genre, and this gives the movie a wide-ranging perspective that helps us better understand the moving personal story at its core.

As for the documentary itself, it’s probably more instructive for those who haven’t read a zillion thinkpieces about "Nightmare 2" as “the first gay horror film” ("Nosferatu" begs to differ).
