Review of ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 (2011) by Robert H — 19 Aug 2012

Chromeskull- Laid to Rest 2 is a lot better and stronger film than the preious lackluster ultra-gore film. The film is great improved in all departments from the originality, writing, brains, characters, acting, and I could go on, but I must mention the brains do not go far.

There is one incredible stupefying scene where four cops are slaughtered when they have their guns out and try to arrest the chrome skull killer. I have to argue and be a little impoliticly correct and say if the killer or person was an African-American teenager, they would have shot him on the spot! Anyways, Laid to Rest 2 picks up where the messy first one left off.

As the Chrome Skull killer is left for dead to the cops, he is rescued by secret company heady by Preston (Brian Austin Green) and his assistant Spann (Danielle Harris). Chrome Skull is rebuilt and continues his nonsense by murdering the unnamed girl from previous, should have done it in the first one.

Meanwhile, survivor Tommy is taken into question by incompetent police who leads to a series of stupidity and death. It becomes a race against time as the police try find and stop the killer. The film pretty much clunker afterwards and becomes annoying with the cast and the idea of crying women onscreen.

The new actress here is pretty alright for a genre that does not require decent acting. The film is only entertaining when we see Preston (Green) go insane and think he is the real killer. Other than that, the film is headache inducer.

Special effects are decent and Laid to Rest is at its peak and should be put to rest once and for all.
