Overview

After being released from a mental hospital, a troubled man haunted by family trauma heads out on Christmas Eve with a single-minded drive to punish those he blames.

Insights

Review Summary

Pros: memorably over-the-top moments; cult one-liners; late-film energy | Cons: heavy recycled footage; messy, disjointed story; cheap, cheesy acting

Will You Like This?

Youโ€™ll likely enjoy this if youโ€™re in the mood for a so-bad-itโ€™s-good slasher with big, goofy moments and a lot of recap, like Creepshow 2 or Leprechaun; Not for you if you hate flashbacks and uneven pacing.

The actual movie starts after 40 minutes. Then we got half an hour incoherent madness that has nothing to do with Christmas. To be clear the ''Part 2'' was released in April. Just three and a half months after, and almost eight months before the holiday we call Christmas. All right, then. Here we''ve got actual full scenes (every murder) from the much better, classic slasher Silent Night Deadly Night with obvious comments from Ricky (Billy''s little brother). It''s trash or shoud I say... '"Oh, garbage day! Hehehehehe!'"

I forgot how much of this movie is just flashbacks of the first movie, it shouldnโ€™t take 40 minutes for the movie to actually start. Despite how poorly written the first half is, the second half isnโ€™t too bad. Thereโ€™s some good kills and funny parts, but the writing for Ricky just makes no sense. Also why is Mother Superior disfigured? Other than hiding the fact sheโ€™s a different actor, the only explanation we get is a stroke which didnโ€™t disfigure you like that haha.

**The hilariously horrible performance by Eric Freeman almost makes up for the film wasting the first half recapping the first film through tedious scenes in a mental hospital. However, itโ€™s certainly worth watching this for the second half.** _Also, itโ€™s worth checking out the uncut version of Part 1, instead of its recap._

First 40 minutes is a recap of the first movie (more or less the entire movie, just edited down), and the rest has nothing to do with christmas. Pretty weird sequel, I hope the next ones get better and return to the christmas theme.

I already dislike clip shows in TV shows, but I find them even more annoying in movies. Even though lead actor Eric Freeman provides a few entertaining moments with his, let's call it, "special" acting style and some of the kills are decent, I can't get over the fact that about 30 minutes of the previous movie are repeated here in a 90-minute runtime. The few "good scenes" can be watched elsewhere, but as a feature film, it's all unsatisfactory.

Far too much recap from the first film. If youโ€™re gonna watch the series, you may as well start with part 2 now. There is one sequence of events that stands out from the rest of the movie but other than that it mostly misses.

There's a solid 15 or 20 minutes of this film that is top tier, unadulterated, laugh out loud nonsense. The rest of the film is almost unbearably dull recap. Is it worth it? Maybe. I think everyone should watch the film in its entirety at least once, if only just to get a sense for it, but if you ever come back to it just skip to that hour mark where things actually get good.

The lead''s facial expression was so extra but his backstory got me invested. I liked the creative kills.

Awesome movie. I watch it every christmas

A new Christmas tradition: Christmas, boxing day, and GARBAGE DAY!!! A certified Xmas classic.
