It'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*

Remember the end of Silent Night Deadly Night (1984) when Billy was shot, you could see the open ending when his younger brother Ricky was seen at the end, his face said enough, let's look out for part 2. But what a disaster part 2 is.If you haven't seen the original one then don't worry because almost the first 40 minutes are all scene's taken from the original one interfered with Ricky being questioned by a psychiatrist. Glad that Ricky told us about Jennifer, not seen in part 1 but then again, it all looked ridiculous. The ho ho ho was changed into ha ha ha and it just didn't work, the acting by Eric Freeman as Ricky was silly and even sometimes laughable. The last 40 minutes with Jennifer are boring and again stupid, it's when Ricky caught his Santa Claus clothes that I thought, finally but even then it wasn't my thing. He do picks up the axe but before that he just shoots everybody. Figure that one, a slasher with, sigh, a gun. It maybe sounds perverted but the nudity parts are the most interesting thing here. Again we do have an open ending when Ricky is laying on the ground and we do see a knife in the hands of a female Santa, again easy to spot who that is. But for me after seen the The Howling franchise being the worst franchise ever I stopped. There are more Silent Night, Deadly Nights out but knowing that Ricky (Bill Moseley) is brought back to live in part 3 says enough, so why the open ending?Again another perfect example that horror was dying at the end of the eighties with a lot of horrors without the horror (killings off-screen). Just like it says on the sleeve, the nightmare is about to begin but then in a negative way.Gore 0/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Ricky (Eric Freeman), the brother of the killer in the first film, talks to a psychiatrist (James Newman) about how he became a brutal killer after his brother died, leading back to Mother Superior (Jean Miller).I can say with confidence that this movie ranks among the worst in the horror genre. I have seen worse, but it is not often. In 2012, I watched roughly 500 films... and "Silent Night, Deadly Night 2" ranks in the top three for being terrible. I would not wish it upon anyone.The biggest problem is that it spends the entire first half of the film showing clips from the first film. So, you have no reason to watch the first movie if you watch this one. And if you did watch the first one, this film will bore you to tears... maybe even to death. The second half improves, but that does not take very much.The second biggest problem is Eric Freeman. We could call his performance "unintentionally funny", but that would be too complimentary. He cannot act, he chews the scenery, there is nothing sympathetic or interesting about him. How he was hired remains a mystery, and he can wear it as a badge of honor that he may be the worst "actor" ever to get a paycheck.

"Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2" is nothing but so bad it's good. Most of Eric Freeman's acting is done with his eyebrows. This begs the question, "How can someone overact using their eyebrows?" Believe me when I say it can be done.It's easy to get through "Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2" if you just fast forward through all the scenes from the first film. You're left with about 45 minutes of wonderfully bad dialogue and a few madcap slayings you'll never forget. Just don't mistakenly skip through any of the parts in the room where the psychiatrist and Ricky are talking. There are some funny exchanges between the two of them you won't want to miss.
