Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 Reviews

So now we enter part two. This is considered to be even sillier than the first one due to the main actor. Apparently this would have been basically a short, but they wanted to make it feature length so they added archive footage and a ton of end credits. I mean that's just a tad lazy don't you think? This is the only film from writer/director Lee Harry that I've seen or heard of. As for the other writers this is the only film they are credited for. It also has a cult following and oddly enough it's due to campiness (whereas it was intended to be silly).

Okay this was just lathered with terribleness. The first half has Ricky recaping the more important parts of the previous film with tons of archive footage. Some of which seems to be altered slightly from what I remember. It could also be that I didn't pay too much attention the first time. Also nearly most of the stuff he "remembers" should not be possible. Of course I knew the first half would be a long recap. I just think it could have been done differently or something. I felt this did give one bit of closure. I wasn't as impressed with the kills or plot line this time. The last shot was just stupid and takes this to a level of supernatural being. I guess the best moments is the rampage that includes the infamous "Garbage Day" line and the final kill.

The acting was really bad from just about everyone this time around. None of the characters were all that likable. I didn't even think Ricky was understandable like his brother. Billy was broken, but Ricky was just a psychopath. I find it ridiculous that they went and casted someone based on looks rather than their skill as an actor. I don't understand why they made Mother Superior look like that other than maybe because it was a new actress.

This was such a cheesefest. Unlike the previous film though I found this to be rotten. It was just dumb through almost the whole thing. I was hoping for the so bad it's fun kind of thing. For me I just wasn't entertained. Eric Freeman is just so awful and over the top I was just annoyed. There were no really good characters except maybe the Doctor. It has a few memorable moments. Sadly it is just crap.

Neither comedy, not in Christmas. The first half hour of the movie is cut out from the first part. It's just a sequel for the money.
