Witness the acting prowess of Eric Freeman as he delivers immortal lines like:"... I... Don't... SLEEP!""Naughty!"and the greatest moment captured on film... ever!"GARBAGE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!"
... View MoreSo Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 takes place years after the first movie, again on Christmas Eve, and Billy's little brother Ricky has grown up and is spending his Christmas Eve in a mental hospital awaiting trial following a murder spree, and a psychiatrist with apparently no family to spend the holiday with, gets Ricky to remember basically every single thing that ever happened in his life, including things he couldn't even possibly ever be able to remember but we're getting to that! The flick really cheats its audience and it does so in a huge movie-crippling way, and that is because they actually and completely shamelessly spend a good solid forty minutes of the running time going through every notable part of the first movie via expanded flashback sequences, making the vast majority of this 'sequel' mere recycled footage from the original. Oh it's definitely a picture that punishes you severely, and you can be sure that punishment is absolute! And who knows that may not be so terrible if you've never seen the first one, but whoever watched the sequel first? Anyway oh my word, Eric Freeman's bad acting is such a true marvel to behold! The way he grimaces his bratty petulant face and has his eyebrows constantly threatening to fly off his head makes him look like an insane overgrown child, and it's not the good kind of acting insane! To his credit though the guy's Saturday morning cartoon show interpretation of what constitutes a bad guy is the best thing going for this incredibly lazy picture. The stuff he does with his face it just baffles the mind how anyone could have acted opposite him without cracking up! He's unintentionally hilarious but I could understand why the actor would have vanished himself so completely. If I were the holder of the legendary "Garbage Day!" moniker, I might want to fall off the face of the earth too.. Ricky is such an unapologetic dumbass with no real excuse for what he does. Billy went crazy after years of reinforced trauma, Ricky is just a gleefully murderous asshole who kills pretty indiscriminately while wisecracking, like some poor man's Freddy! The new movie footage aren't all that much to write home about except for Ricky and there's some well done and funny kills like the umbrella and when he attaches a car battery to the blonde guy's teeth until his eyes explode, that one was awesome! And it does pick up a fair bit in the final act where the Santa-clad Ricky goes after mouldy old Mother Superior and chases her around her house, and for a wheelchair-bound charred and half-dead looking old nun, she puts up one hell of a fight! It's so weird how at one point in the story they're watching Silent Night Deadly Night at the cinema and the scene has already been shown as Ricky's 'memories', it's like a memory-within-a-movie-within-a-movie - ~whoa!~ While no means totally bereft of entertainment value, this is one seriously hardcore bad movie. It's one that I would enjoy a lot more on a strictly so-bad-it's-good level, as for the twenty minutes he's on the screen, the Ricky stuff is priceless, but all those ceaseless flashbacks just make it mostly boring and really suck all the fun out of it to me. If I wanted to watch the first movie I'd watch the first movie. The best thing about this undercooked Christmas turkey I'm afraid is that if you take out all the flashbacks you only have a pretty fun half hour mini movie to deal with. Happy Christmas, and do remember that the act of chopping up one's local Mother Superior is especially naughty! X
... View MoreIt's simply incredible at how stupid this movie is. Roughly a third of the entire film is noting but stock footage from the original. Yes, that's literally what the film is and it's only interrupted by an occasional voice over and a scene showing the present. We see all of the murders that the main character committed. This is the first slasher film I've ever seen where a guy uses an actual gun to commit crimes. It's pretty easy to say that the "Garbage Day!" scene is the goofiest and most over the top part. It is however, followed by a scene where he shoots a car which spins out of control and blows up.I had in fact heard of this movie before the actual meme became popular. I think most people probably did. Most of the film is the guy telling a psychiatrist about all the people he's killed. This guy was caught by police because he failed to kill himself. He then kills the therapist and goes on to kill the nun who was responsible for his upbringing. Wait, if he was going to kill her, why did he attempt suicide before? All throughout the film, this guy has this goofy expression on his face.I think we actually managed to track down the real life actor and had some interview with it. Needless to say, he wasn't in anything else, really. I'm glad to have seen one of the worst Christmas movies of all time. It was supposed to be about a serial killer dressed as Santa. He doesn't even dress up as Santa until the last 15 minutes of the movie! As an installment in the "Silent Night, Deadly Night" series, it fails to even be a faithful sequel. It's so unbelievably awful with how this film is. 1/2*
... View MoreThe first 40 minutes of this 88-minute-long movie is a recap of the prequel. I'm not even joking, with the end credits being 4 minutes long, almost half of the movie is a recap. So, unless you want to watch a shorter version of the first movie again, you can do yourself a favor and just skip the first 40 minutes. You won't miss anything, believe me.Now, what we basically have left is a 44-minute film with ridiculous plot and one of the worst acting in the history of cinema I've ever seen, done by the main actor, Eric Freeman. Coincidentally, he never got any major roles after this movie ever again.If you are really curious, and really want to watch this movie, I do not advise watching it alone. Not because it's scary or anything (it's not), but because watching it with friends might end up entertaining after all as you laugh together how bad this movie is.
