Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 - Comments & Tips
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 shouldn’t take 40 minutes for the movie to actually start. Despite how poorly written the first half is, the second half isn’t too bad. There’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 she’s a different actor, the only explanation we get is a stroke which didn’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, it’s certainly worth watching this for the second half.** _Also, it’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 you’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.
Absolutely hilarious in a '"did these people actually watch this afterwards'" kind of way. With worse acting than Troll 2, a plot so derivative that half its running time is footage from the original, a series of gratuitous rape scenes and buckets of bloodshed, this is precisely the kind of movie I''d have been looking for at 3AM on Cinemax during my adolescence. Lead actor Eric Freeman utters nothing but awful catchphrases from start to finish, delivered with the kind of wild-eyed sincerity that left me wondering how blurry the line between fact and fiction really was for the filmmakers. In comparison to Freeman''s scene-stealing ineptitude, the rest of the cast fades helplessly into the wallpaper - and that''s probably for the best. What this ultimately boils down to is about fifteen minutes of uproariously funny bad cinema, padded to a ninety minute ultimate runtime with ruthless disregard for relevance or entertainment value. Needs to be trimmed down to a highlight reel before it''s truly watchable.
